What's This Countertop Idea?

By now, you're saying, "Whoa, this guy has flipped his lid. Zinc countertops?" Sure, why not? You want unique? This is unique.

Zinc countertops, typically 1/16" thick, develop a fine patina of hairline scratches over time. These countertops have been used for a long time for bar surfaces.

Why It's a Great Idea

Got issues with your zinc countertop surface? No problem. Just sand it out.

Why It's Not a Great Idea

An extreme specialty countertop idea. Your kitchen countertop shop around the shop won't be fabricating zinc countertops.
