Concrete can look great but it must be sealed since its a porous surface that food comes into contact with it.

I like poured cement countertops they can be any color and any shape that you can build a form. And its inexpensive.

When we designed our kitchen in our new house - after looking at all the alternatives we chose Silestone. What is Silestone? Guaranteed Quality, Stain Resistant, Acid Resistant, Scratch Resistant, Impact Resistant, Bacteriostatic Protection, Wide Range of Textures, Wide Range of Colors, Natural Quartz.
Been in for 12 yeas and still looks fantastic. Its worth a look! We love it!
Any good advice for installing large stone tiles for a countertop? Not marble, possibly quartz. Cabinets supposed to be installed first week in May but the quartz countertops can't even be ordered till cabinets are installed, then a minimum of 2-5 weeks to get them. Meanwhile, appliances & sink are just sitting here. We have marble tiles on a side countertop now, they don't have any grout, just installed tight and held in place with wooden edge strip. We've done a lot of tile over the years and one advantage of using the tile is our countertops are going to be abut 28-30" deep with a 6" window ledge on the 10' window. We could have everything ready to install as soon as the cabinets are in.
A formed glass countertop has been recommended by our cabinet man, they're pretty but I think it would cost more than he implied. Plus I suspect they will take as long as the quartz since they make a template once the counters are in. We'll know later today or tomorrow.
