I've had concrete countertops in my house since moving in (2004), and though we sealed them moderately with a sealer...its a very very porous surface--expect things to get in the little dips and crevices. breadmaking or pasta making isnt so great on it for those reasons. it doesnt really stay cold the way stone does. <br /><br />it will stain, so clean it immediately. paper will stick to it and leave some behind if its wet and accidentally left to dry. it will definitely shatter a glass if put down too hard..lol. <br /><br />i know this advice comes a bit too late, but i wish i would have heard this. we'll be replacing the countertop as soon as we're able, likely with something like paperstone.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362964176852247883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255949970787463496.post-27863270600217388922011-02-03T07:13:33.179-05:002011-02-03T07:13:33.179-05:00Looks pretty good so far!
