From a wet and gritty mass of slurry, we make concrete into almost anything.  With inlays such as fiber-optics, colored glass, seashells, even personal items and corporate logos.  Poured into just about any shape, it can replicate any texture, and be given any edge profile to look at home in a wide variety of spaces.


Each piece is handcrafted, with an artisanal quality that other manufactured materials lack.  It all begins with an idea, a concept, that we make concrete.

Ordering



Our work can be made to fit nearly any budget. Custom colors or inlays, exposing different levels of aggregate, installation and other features add to the cost.  Each piece is unique, there are unlimited design options and many details to cover. We will help to offer you more specific pricing when you follow these easy steps:

  1. Bullet e-mail a diagram of your project and include dimensions. The drawings do not need to be architecturally correct and the dimensions can be approximate. If you are drawing the diagram yourself, do so as if you’re looking down on the project and give approximate locations of sinks, ranges, walls, Inlays, added features, etc.

  2. Bullet In your e-mail, please include a project name, location and phone number where we can confirm details.  We will use the information you provide to generate a proposal.

  3. Bullet We’ll then make an appointment with you to see the showroom, where we begin to discuss mix design possibilities. Your project is all about design style, colors, finishes, inlays, aggregates and edge details.

  4. Bullet Projects require a template be made on-site with cabinets in place for exact dimensions.  We also require that all sinks, faucets, drop in ranges et-cetera be on site. The templates are used to build the forms. We’ll work together as a team with you, your contractor, designer and/or architect on the timing to make sure it’s all completed on schedule. From the time we template, depending on design complexity please allow approximately three to six weeks for delivery.
