	title of this thread your message We've had absolutely no problems with our concrete countertops. Nada, zip, zilch. We have really loved them and the big concrete tub has also been a blast. It even got published in a coffee table book about modern bath design. That being said though, I don't think we'll use concrete for the counters in our new home in New Mexico. Concrete flooring is used often there as it's a perfect choice for radiant heat flooring, which is the norm and for staying cool in the warmer months. We noticed that here in Massachusetts, during the summer, our cats would nap in the tub or on the counters when we weren't looking. It's a nice friendly surface and it is a marvelous heat sink. Warm when you want warm, cool when you want cool. We're thinking about silestone, ceasarstone or possibly paperstone next. For a year or so we'll be in a rental so we'll se what that comes with and if we like it. Granite is out for me and so is marble or butcherblock. Stainless steel is a possibility, but it's so unforgiving and easily scratched. And copper would just give me a headache. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
