History

Concrete has been a mainstay of civilization since the height of the Roman Empire. Made of the stuff that built the earth, concrete is one of the greenest building materials. It provides strength and beauty in buildings and bridges. Concrete is as strong as solid rock, yet can be shaped in a multitude of designs. Concrete is recyclable, yet can last thousands of years.

About Concrete Countertops

A versatile medium, concrete begins as a loose, wet mud, which is shaped or stamped into a virtually limitless number of shapes. Concrete can be stained or colored. It can resemble rough rock, or can be ground and polished into a glass-like smoothness. Concrete has recently seen a renaissance in how it’s used. Mainly seen outside and beneath buildings and other structures, fixtures of concrete now reside inside the home—as countertops, vessel sinks, wall panels, tables, benches and many other creative applications.

Concrete Countertops – Timeless Beauty

Concrete Countertopos are beautiful—and timeless. From common ingredients, uncommon beauty and durability is born. We at ConcretePoetry are dedicated to the development of different techniques and applications transforming what many perceive to be a plain, everyday material into an extraordinary substance. Resembling natural stone, the warm surface of concrete countertops adds a rustic, yet refined finish that blends in with any décor.

Versatility

Concrete Countertops offer a number of advantages over traditional countertop materials, including laminates and solid materials such as granite or marble. Concrete countertops can be formed, polished  or stamped into almost any shape, embellished with the most intricate of details. It can be permanently inlaid with design elements, such as shells or fossils, tiles, natural stone, metals or small keepsakes—making each countertop unique and personalized. It can be colored to coordinate with the rest of your décor. The sealers we add don’t offer mere protection, but also work to alter the concrete’s molecular structure, resulting in different effects and adding unexpected depth.

 Customize

Because of its versatility, concrete is a great material for vessel sinks. Molded in shapes traditional, contemporary, modern or fanciful, the material can be colored and textured to resemble stone. As with  concrete countertops, the same customization can be done for vessel sinks to make yours as individual as a fingerprint.

Tables

Large dining tables of molded concrete add a touch of sophistication in the dining room. Outdoors on the patio, a concrete bistro table can weather almost any storm. In the sunroom or under the gazebo, the morning rays give the concrete a warm glow.

Panels

Concrete wall panels are a wonderful alternative to traditional fencing. Often molded on-site, wall panels of concrete can be made to blend in or stand out, depending on the colors and shapes you choose.

Outdoors

A garden isn’t complete without a beautiful garden bench. Simple or fanciful, garden benches made from concrete are weatherproof. Over time, the little surface cracks and patina that develop in the concrete lend a unique identity to the piece, adding character.
