Two basic finish styles are available:
Trowel Finish
The classic look of concrete, characterized by a smooth surface with an occasional trowel mark. Handmade appearance with varied color tones. Trowel finishes compliment colors in the gray family. All pieces are done by hand with a steel trowel.

Honed Finish
Pieces are finished in a wet grind process to produce a machined surface. This finish also introduces another element of design; different aggregates can be added to produce striking effects. Glass, metal bits, stone, and even plastic can be used as aggregates.

Facts about our concrete:
Iron Oxide pigments are used to provide a vast array of color possibilities.

We also use chemical Acid Stains to offer a more varied appearance as desired.

Our countertops are sealed to prevent staining and hand finished to produce a soft, luxurious yet natural look and feel.

Although most of our work is pre-cast, we can pour “on-site” when necessary.

The standard thickness of our countertops are 1 1/2”, and wall panels are 3/4”.

Weight per square foot 1 1/2” is 16 lbs.

Most mid to upper range cabinets are more than adequate to support concrete tops.

Estimating costs for custom concrete.
Countertop price range: $75 — $95 per. sq. ft.

Acid Staining for existing slabs: starts at $4.50 per. sq. ft.

Concrete  Sinks: $750—$1600

 

Warranty Information

We stand behind all of our work and thus guarantee it to be free of any defects in workmanship. We also shall repair or replace any product that is found to have structural defects. In this regard, our warranty is unconditional. However, there are certain characteristics of concrete that are inherent to the nature of the material including but nor limited to non-structural hairline cracks, and color variations. It is the responsibility of the customer to be aware of concrete's imperfections prior to choosing it as a surface. We believe that part of the beauty of concrete lies in the tiny imperfections that are part of any handmade item.

Remember, nearly anything can be created using concrete. From elaborate inlays to irregular shapes, the possibilities are endless! Contact us to see what concrete by BDWG can add to your next project.
