Gone are the days when concrete only made an appearance on the garage floor. Today, home construction professionals have found a plethora of ways to bring this sturdy material inside as well as outside. Having a hard time picturing it beyond the garage? Here, the creative professionals at Roider Contracting in Columbia, IL, list just a few of the ways they’ve used stained concrete in their projects.

3 Uses for Stained Concrete in Your Home

1. Kitchen Countertops

Concrete is a great material if you’re looking to put in a new countertop. Not only is it durable, but it can also bring a look of fluidity and continuity to your kitchen. With just a single pour, your new concrete countertop will blend in perfectly with your sink, leaving virtually no room for water to seep into any cracks. Plus, with stained concrete, your new countertop can be made to match any color scheme or style you have in your kitchen.

2. Fireplace

If you’ve only ever pictured your fireplace’s mantel and hearth made out of rock, it’s time to broaden your horizons. A concrete hearth can be stained to look just as natural as any other material, whether it’s brick or stone, while also being able to retain heat better.

3. Shower Walls

Concrete can even be brought into your shower. While you may spend a little more upfront to put stained concrete in as your shower walls or bathroom floors, just think of the money and time you’ll save when you won’t have to replace it—or even clean it!—as often as you would other materials, such as tile.
