DIY Concrete Kitchen Countertop Tutorial

Ready to get started on your own concrete kitchen countertop transformation? Here’s how to make concrete countertops.







Clean up existing kitchen countertops.





Sand the countertops with coarse sandpaper.





Mix up a small amount of Ardex Feather Finish.





Working in small sections at a time (maybe 1’ x 1’), spread concrete over countertop surface.





While you don’t want to run your trowel over and over the same concrete mix (it will start to dry out, and your efforts at smoothing everything out will be thwarted), I found it to be a good idea to drag my trowel in the perpendicular direction after a section was covered.





Using the smaller putty knife, spread concrete on the edges of the countertop.





Let dry. Keep in mind as you’re going that any irregularities or imperfections can be sanded out later on





Wrap your sandpaper around a sanding block for greater control and smooth sanding





Allow everything to dry and fully cure.
