Concrete Counter Tops
Comments (8)According to my dh who makes concrete countertops; re weight; if your cabinets are old and rickety you definitely have to reenforce them if going with concrete. however the weight of the concrete is spread out over the surface area so if they are in reasonable condition it shouldn't be a problem re difficulty in getting the right mix; if it's being professionally made this is not an issue. we have formulas recorded to ensure the right mix. re porous; the beauty of concrete is it's versatility, it can be rough and porous or as smooth as glass and completely impermeable and anything in between. note that the high price of concrete countertops is due to the fact that it's relatively new, there are fewer tradesmen so the prices are at a premium....See MoreHELP! My new quartz countertop has a "melt" spot!!!
Comments (31)Hi I have an update for anyone that is curious. I have other construction/remodel priorities now to finish things around the house (like the bathroom on the first floor and staining the new staircase) and I don't have extra money to repair a chip that is really a cosmetic issue/concern. So after someone suggested the outrageous sum of $1k to repair a chip for a counter that cost about twice that, I was left with just estimates from purported "pros" and the chip. So I decided to do research and I found something that looks promising: http://www.discoveredit.com/procaliberproducts.aspx. I emailed them and they suggested the PRO paste since it was so close to the edge (vertical surface). They also have pretty cool cleaning/polishing products that I will buy and try. I will post pictures of the results when I get a chance. I was really impressed that Stone Tooling (a company out in CA that I ordered my Laticrete products from when I was waterproofing my bathroom) posted a review and trial of this stuff on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2f7GOTb_Mw. Anyway stay tuned for pics in about 2 weeks (I plan to order it today)....See MoreHas anyone installed Caesarstone Noble Grey countertops?
