In 2006 Granicrete, a product that offers the look of granite and stone, was introduced at the Home and Garden Show in Phoenix, Arizona. Granicrete concrete is a polymer modified cementations mix designed to decorate new or existing substrates to simulate stone, tile, brick, slate, and other exotic surfaces. Any look for granite, marble or stone can be achieved and it can be applied directly over existing countertops and vanities. Granicrete is scratch and heat resistant, easy to maintain and costs $35 to $75 per square foot.
