I have tile counter tops and although they are beautiful, I do not like them. Wine glasses tip over if you dont place them exactly on the tile. Everything wobbles on them. The grout is difficult to clean. I love the Mexican tile but I personally don't think that they are good for counter tops. If I did mine over I would only use the tiles for back splash.

Sharks....Gorgeous Place!

Gee, thanx...


too bad I'm stuck here. I think our weather here on the OR. coast has to be the best around tho.

The bar in the above pics was included in the contractors quote when I rebuffed the house. The place sat unattened since the hurricane and subsequent flood.

Thank god for cinder block. A little salt incursion but wasn't a big deal.

The tile used was just some left-over remnants that I asked them to be creative with.

Of course bars are not built like that stateside but it's been in over a year and no cracks.

Tile is a b-tch to keep perfect but is so pretty and condusive I can't resist. Just gotta watch the coffee stains.:lol:

You know what they say...when in Rome. The Mexican tile is so beautiful and I've had the 'fun' of keeping up with the cement. Tile...even with the grout....is for me. Stateside we have a white solid surface sink and if you can get your hands on Clorox Clean up spray it's great and it beaches out nicely. Great for grout as well.:light:

If you are interested in concrete countertops, you should look at this book: "Concrete Countertops" by Fu-Tung Cheng, published by Taunton Press. It's a serious how-to book with great photos.

use a grout sealer on the tile and it will be easy to take care of.
