ARE YOU THINKING OF CONCRETE COUNTERS?
By using a concrete based overlay product instead of a solid poured concrete slab, we have many more options of design and textures without skyrocketing the costs. (Many Custom Concrete Counters price over $100/sqft!) YET, the functionality and durability is as high of quality, if not even better!
Most concrete is poured at 2500 - 3000 psi of strength, whereas our mix is up to 6000 psi. Even though it is stronger, it has polymers that allow the concrete to "flex", flexing prevents cracks. If a slab cracks, that crack is through the entire slab, and although you may hide the crack, you can't truly fix the crack. Using Permacrete, if something out of the ordinary occurs, it is easily repaired. The crack won't be a "weak point" of the counter!
And we should finally mention the weight reduction! Lower stress on your cabinets, which isn't as big of a deal if you have solid custom built cabinets, but what if you would like to go with more affordable cabinets? Are you sure they will hold up to the weight of SOLID CONCRETE?
But finally the question is: But how does it look? Well...you tell us! Here are some updated pictures of recent Concrete Countertop Jobs we have completed using PERMA-CRETE polymer based concrete mix. Click the pics for larger pics!
