Concrete Benches

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Your colour choice is almost unlimited and we can do things with concrete that seems impossible! Once committed to a concrete bench, you can be provided with a concrete colour sample showing you the colour you have chosen, not just showing you a colour chart. However, the final concrete colour can sometimes have a slight change, influenced by factors such as the temperature, humidity and variations in the products used.

We can make it up to 5m long without a join. We can create a custom drain board with curves or straight. Make matching back splash to sit behind your cooktop.

One of the most unique products we offer is the custom stone edge and colour look. Looks and feels like stone, but with the versatility of concrete.

We don’t limit the colours, we make our colours custom to the order. 

Samples can be made prior to the final production.

Approximately 3 weeks from the time we receive your deposit. 

We don’t have a set cost per square metre, the degree of difficulty and complexity of each job will decide the final price.

Our mix design allows us to produce a much denser concrete which is then sealed which impregnates and chemically alters the concrete to create a hardened crystal-like surface.  This makes our tops highly stain resistant with a high resistance to etching from acidic products such as wine and lemon juice. Our sealer is considered one of the best in the world.

It’s very unlikely – the density of our concrete makes it highly crack resistant and as it ages, it becomes even more so. The concrete may chip but it is something that can be fixed quite easily.

No, this may create micro cracks but unlikely.If you put pots on it, it may need to be resealed which is a very simple process. We recommend some sort of mat between the bench and the pot.  Or you could have stainless steel trivets permanently inlaid into the surface when the bench is made!

Yes, but it will depend on the size and location of the job, sometimes we use an indoor gantry crane as some large benches can get to 300+kg .

Although all our tops are sealed which make them highly stain resistant, we recommend that all spills are wiped up as soon as they occur, especially in the first 4-6 weeks following installation. We will supply a cleaning product for you to use after install.  Bench tops can be wiped down with any eco-friendly products – definitely NO products containing bleach or caustic substances.

We service all areas of Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast.

 

Even as a child I never chose the easy way – I always challenged myself in everything I did. I was always good at fixing things so becoming a diesel fitter just seemed to make sense.
