Over time, countertops can begin to look old and worn out. Even if your countertops are not worn looking, they may still begin to appear dated. Unfortunately, ripping out and replacing your countertops can be both time-consuming and costly. If you’re looking for an easier and more affordable solution for updating your countertops, concrete countertop resurfacing could be just answer to your problems.

Whether you have laminate, Formica, tile, Corian, granite, marble, or concrete, countertop resurfacing can be an effective method for giving your countertops an updated appearance. With special concrete countertop resurfacing products, it is possible to benefit from the look of entirely new countertops without the need to tear out your existing countertops and reconstruct them.

This type of option typically involves using a proprietary blend of polymers and cement powders that are troweled onto the existing countertop in ultra-thin layers. The result is a durable surface that can then be customized to any texture or color you like. Countertop resurfacing is suitable for both indoor kitchens as well as outdoor kitchens.

Even homeowners who do not have prior experience in countertop resurfacing will find that this type of system is extremely easy to use. At Moon Decorative, we are also always pleased to provide instruction and training to assist both contractors and DIY homeowners in designing and installing these types of countertop resurfacing systems.

                                                      

Application Tips for Concrete Countertop Resurfacing

When applying a concrete overlay or countertop resurfacing solution, it should be kept in mind that although the process itself does not take a lot of time, it does require patience, so it is best not to rush. Prior to getting started, it is best to line all of the surrounding appliances, walls, underlying cabinets, and sink with plastic sheeting. This will provide protection from the concrete overlay mixture.

Design options are virtually unlimited with countertop resurfacing. After the concrete overlay has dried, it is possible to customize countertops with a variety of products, including concrete dye, acid stain, and more. The key to maintaining the new look of your countertops is to seal them to prevent possible damage from moisture or scratches. This will ensure that your new countertops will continue to look great for many years to come.

 

Even if new countertops are not in your budget, countertop resurfacing can prove to be an affordable and relatively easy solution for outdated or worn countertops.
