Many homeowners and designers are finding that concrete makes a perfect fit for achieving distinctive-looking bench tops.
Shape and Size
Because we pre-cast from a template benchtops can be tailor-made to meet most requirements however concrete is complemented by square designs and simple lines.
A Choice of Style and Colour
You can choose between polished (honed) concrete or a plain concrete finish. Just about any look can be achieved for benchtops with a choice of pebbles, aggregates, and sea shells.
Coloured oxides are often used in concrete benchtops to highlight concrete’s natural properties and complement interior designs. Grey and white oxides are most popular because they enhance the natural look and style of aggregate.
Durability
The durability of concrete is one of concrete’s greatest assets. Concrete is a very robust material although we recommend that concrete bench tops be sealed with a urethane sealer to avoid staining and to make completely non-porous. Please see our frequently asked questions area for further information on the benchtop process and limitations.
Sinks and Hobs
Most benchtops incorporate sinks and hobs. Sinks can flush or drop mounted. Hobs are top mounted.
Construction
The majority of our concrete benchtops are pre-cast off site. First we make a template from your cabinetry, then form, polish and seal the bench top in our workshop. The benchtop is delivered and installed within 4-6 weeks of templating.
Price Comparison
You can achieve this great look in your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry for less than most composite stone benchtops.
