Slate vs Concrete | Countertop Comparison

Slate and concrete can both provide a matte industrial style as kitchen countertops, however, they are significantly different in composition and durability. Homeowners who demand convenience and class can appreciate natural slate countertops. Though strong and long lasting, slate countertops are equally fragile and susceptible to chipping from heavy pots or pans. Acidic liquids, like wine and powerful cleaners, can stain or etch both slate and concrete countertops. Even when sealed, concrete countertops can still appear damp from loose liquids because of its high porosity. Concrete countertops are also prone to cracking, making large areas a potential issue.
