More FAQs on Decorative Concrete

Do I need to re-enforce my cabinets?
As long as the concrete top are in the 1-1/2" to 2” thick no additional cabinet support is needed.

What is the thickness of the concrete top?
Tops are generally 1-1/2” thick although 2” is also common. Depending on the size and layout 1-1/4” is possible. If you would desire a thicker top, a drop face can be integrated to give the appearance of a solid, thick concrete countertop. As for a wish for a thinner concrete top, special considerations and possible reinforcements are needed.

Do you pour the countertops over my existing tops?
No, all of our countertops are precast off site and then brought to your home and installed in about a day. There is a little mess with this application. Your old tops will need to be removed.

What if my concrete scratches?
Concrete tops depending on the exposure can be polished to remove any deep scratches. Most scratches can be burnished out as they are most likely in the sealer surface.


The list 4 FAQs will come Monday!
