Designing Green Concrete Countertops.

Email cornerstone.surface.designs@gmail.com for design ideas, questions, estimates on concrete countertops!

Green building is no longer just an option for concrete countertops, to me its becoming more of a standard. In fact, with the use of recycled materials, like glass and tiles, the end results are even more beautiful and add uniqueness to whole project.

Its the little things like, re-using countertop forms, buying materials from local sources, and using an eco-friendly mix design that help to improve a positive global impact. Compared to other alternatives, concrete is at the forefront of green countertop choices.

Though all materials used to build these beautiful creations are not yet recycled, using a conscious design and build process is key.

The next posts will describe how to design your own green concrete countertops in three steps:
1. Design Ideas.
2. Building Green Concrete Countertops.
3. Protecting and Maintaining your New Concrete Countertops.
