Are concrete countertop materials the same for interior and exterior use?
Yes. Concrete countertops have proven to be very resilient in the Minnesota area where we see extreme summer heat and winter cold temperatures. The only thing to consider with exterior countertops is that they are subject to the elements – rain, hail, snow, freezing and sunlight. These factors should be put into consideration when planning and building an exterior grade concrete countertop. The only thing that may change from indoors to outdoors is the type of pigments and sealer used, as some may fade in the sun.
