About Concrete

Concrete is exactly what the name says: an even mid-grey quartz with no veining, made to read like poured concrete. It gives you the industrial, minimal look without the cracking, sealing and staining that real concrete counters bring.

A solid color is also the most forgiving surface to fabricate. Seams are simple, there is no pattern to match, and offcuts are usable, which often makes a kitchen in a plain color more economical than one in a bold pattern.

What is quartz?

Quartz slabs are engineered from crushed natural quartz bound with resin and pigment. The result is a non-porous surface with consistent color and pattern that never needs sealing, making it a practical choice for kitchens and baths.

Concrete questions we get asked

Is quartz better than real concrete for a countertop?

For a working kitchen, yes. Poured concrete is porous, needs sealing and will hairline crack as it cures; this gives you the same flat grey look in a non-porous surface that never needs sealing.

Does a solid color show scratches more?

Scratches are rare on quartz, but any mark shows more on a flat color than in a busy pattern. Use a cutting board and it will look the same in ten years.

Is Concrete available in a matte finish?

Finish availability changes by shipment, and matte suits this color particularly well. Call (704) 394-1221 and we will tell you which finishes are on the floor.

Does Concrete need to be sealed?

No. Engineered quartz is non-porous, so there is nothing to seal. Warm water, a soft cloth and a mild soap if needed is the whole routine; skip abrasive pads, bleach and any sealer or topical treatment.

Can I put a hot pan on Concrete?

No. The resin binder in every engineered quartz can scorch or discolor, so use a trivet. If hot pans routinely land on your counter, granite or porcelain is the safer surface.
