Poured in Place Concrete Countertop
Some Pros and Cons

Are you considering a poured in place concrete countertop(cast in place) for your kitchen, bathroom, or other counter surface? I would like to help you with your planning so you know what you can expect.

Pros for Poured in Place:

No heavy tops to move

Longer lengths are possible without seams

Less labor intensive

No large shop or space needed

No large truck for transporting needed

Less muscle or manpower needed to get the job done

Cons for Poured in Place:

More of a mess in existing house/room

Lots of protecting to do for walls, floors and cabinets

Some of the looks you can get with pre-cast counters are not possible with poured in place

Requires an expert finisher to have a really great finish which will last for years to come

Pros for Precast Counters:

Mess is contained in your shop/garage or your contractor's shop

More looks and designs are possible

Better quality control of products

Easier to mix/pour concrete and dyes without worries of other indoor surfaces

Cons for Precast Counters:

Transportation of product from your shop/garage requires more manpower depending on the size and length of the top

Large shop area required for pouring area and/or multiple pieces for your project

Must be cured before product can be moved

Poured in place countertops are a great option for your remodeling projects for your bathroom countertops, kitchen countertops, wet bar, craft room, and even an outdoor counter for your BBQ area.
