Countertops are horizontal work surfaces which are used in all types of construction.  In whatever space they are used, countertops become an integral part of the overall aesthetics, and so should be carefully selected to complement the style of cabinets, flooring, wall surfaces and other materials in the room. Countertops are typically supported by cabinets and are most commonly used to provide work space for food preparation in residential and commercial kitchens.

Concrete countertops are horizontal work surfaces that are fabricated from natural materials.  Concrete has been a popular material in construction since the Roman empire.  Traditionally, concrete has been used for exterior surfaces on grade and structural assemblies in buildings. Recently, this hardened mixture of cement, sand, gravel, and water has become a new material option for residential and commercial countertops.
