Kitchen Make Overs Using a Decorative Concrete Slab As Part of the Finish

Kitchen makeovers are a very impressive job that takes time and effort. A kitchen remodeling job can be a great way to show your individual tastes and desires on what you the homeowner likes. Different building materials can be used to make your kitchen one of a kind. One of these materials is using concrete to design your brand new kitchen.

What do most people think of when they think of concrete? Like most people, you might think of Grey, dull, and lifeless material, a hard substance that just really sits there and holds everything up and in place. But that thought about concrete is changing in this new day and age.

In the last few years, decorative concrete has become a very lucrative business. From floors to counter tops, to fireplaces and even certain furniture, concrete can be a chameleon of different decorative materials that will take whatever sized, shape and color that you wish.

One of the most popular applications for making existing concrete slabs is staining the concrete. This can achieve a very unique outcome by the simple act of mixing different colors and application techniques to the concrete you are using on your kitchen. This works very well on not only kitchens, but is great for basements, entrance areas, and living areas as well and bathrooms and pools.

Staining the existing concrete brings new life into the old, discolored, and faded concrete floors. The color patterns are endless; they can be a solid stain color, a translucent stain or even variegated to leave a beautiful marble finish. And since concrete is a porous and a neutral material, it can easily accept the color. Each concrete slab will accept the stain in varying, different ways thus creating a natural color variation and character to each slab and project that you do.

Also, when you are installing brand new counter-tops that are concrete, you do not have to start out with the standard Grey cement that everyone is so familiar with. Various manufactures offer a very large selection of colors to choose from and the colored concrete can be used to stimulate the look of brick if that is what you like, or flagstone, pavers or even tile.

Decorative counter-tops are a new and decorative way of expressing yourself in your kitchen that leaves an amazing finish with the integrity of dyed surfaces. This new style will bring more harmony to your kitchen as well as bringing you into a new era of remodeling.
