Concrete Countertops

E-mail Print PDF
So we've been working on a project lately that is a bit unique. Owner wanted concrete countertops and the design was such that they needed to be built in place.  The tops needed  to be less than 2 inches thick and integrated backsplashes needed to be less than an inch thick. There was a want for caps on two areas that the owner wanted darker, almost black with the rest to be grey an bit darker than your basic sidewalk.  We added black and white granite to expose in the tops.

With the thin tops and backs there should have been cracks. Pouring these counters in place and grinding and polishing is not an easy process.
