Concrete Counter Tops (Overlay & Cast)
Concrete is a unique material that is durable, easy to shape, and takes textures and colors beautifully. These are the characteristics that make concrete a perfect material for creating countertops, table tops, vanities and bar tops. What may be even more impressive is that concrete is very practical and fits in both traditional and contemporary settings while creating an impressive aesthetic. With increasing frequency, designers are bringing concrete into homes, offices, restaurants, hospitals, health clubs and industrial environments in beautiful and creative ways.
Concrete Countertops are among the most popular applications of decorative concrete. And with the premium Concrete Countertop systems that Architectural Enhancements has created, they are easy to cast or shape, color, and add decorative inserts or aggregates to – to match any style décor.
Architectural Enhancements’ Concrete Countertop Products include:
- Tru Top Overlay – creates the elegance of stone countertops without the weight or cost of granite. Tru Top Overlay is designed to be overlayed on an existing countertop surface material such as formica, tile, cement board, or wood to create a concrete countertop. It is applied in an easy one-step, mix-with-water formula that is fast setting and can be colored, stained, textured, and decorated with glass, aggregates, agates, and other materials. Tru Top Overlay is a very “tight” mix, so it will not leave voids or have long cure times. Tru Top Overlay can be applied as thin as 1/16” or as thick as 3/8” and comes in Gray or White.
- Tru Top Cast – creates the beauty of a concrete countertop with a mix that is specially designed for poured cast-in-place or pre-cast applications. When casting in place, Tru Top Cast is placed upon a base plate that remains in place as part of the countertop. When pouring pre-cast, a melamine form is used and can be removed within 24 hours of pouring. Tru Top Cast is designed to be poured at between 1 ½” to 2” depths. It is mixed in an easy one-step, mix-with-water formula that is fast setting and can be colored, stained, and decorated with glass, aggregates, agates, and other materials. It comes in Gray or White.
