TOUGH SEALER
We use a proven sealer made for concrete benchtops, called ICT. We import it from the United States, where concrete benchtops have been in homes for 20 odd years now. The sealer is very clear, like a window into your benchtop. Its renowned for its scratch resistance and stain resistance. It has a unique application method, check it out here.
Colours
We will try to match any colour you desire through the use of pigments, and concrete stains for brighter colours. Your benchtops will also be influenced by the amount of sand and aggregate exposed with grinding. Most people today prefer no grinding. Leaving the cream layer for a natural concrete look.
Glossiness, you have a choice of:
glossy
semi-gloss
matt
Embedding and effects
We encourage people to embed small wall tiles, fossils, gems, brass strips etc. They often become the favorite part of the benchtop.
Great effects can be achieved by;
mixing subtle colour differences,
swirling the casted concrete
shifting the mould as it start to set
creating voids with a very dry mix and later back filling the voids with different colours.
WEIGHT
Our High Performance Concrete is a little lighter than normal concrete, but we also use alot of hidden cavities to reduce the weight of thicker benches. Most standard cabinets will support our benches.
Prices
Our standard price is $1100 per square meter, installed. Most kitchens, up to 50mm thickness, are charged at this rate.
Undermount sinks cutouts are $300
60-80mm thickness is $1250psm
Difficult installations, such as crane hire, are an obvious expense.
