Although still a niche product, concrete countertops are a solid alternative to more traditional surfaces. They're desired for their handcrafted nature and creative possibilities.
Jim Peterson, president of The Concrete Network (www.concretenetwork.com), a resource on concrete that includes design ideas and contractor listings, says his client base of concrete artisans has grown from about a dozen to more than 100 in two years.
Cindy Hamm, owner of the Ultimate Edge in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, says, "Many customers love the fact that their countertops will never be like anyone else's. Because mine are poured in place, they are one of a kind."
