What should you expect from a concrete countertop? How flat is flat? What are the expectations for surface quality? Stain resistance? Edge straightness?

Due to the relatively young nature of the concrete countertop industry these answers were most often subjective and rarely documented. This has left many a consumer with little recourse when problems arise. Often fabricators will attempt to explain away flawed work with a simple “it’s concrete, what did you expect?”.

Thanks to the Concrete Countertop Institute you now have a set of quality standards for concrete countertops. Fundo Design now utilizes this document as baseline for our standard products. When selecting a concrete countertop fabricator ask what their quality standards are.
