Is Concrete Right For You?
All of the concrete products we manufacture are made using our own hands. It’s always bespoke. We use small portable power tools like mixers, polishers etc. but we don’t have equipment capable of reproducing on an industrial scale. Our concrete is an honest reflection of who we are, crafted by hand.
Due to the nature of concrete and the hand-crafted process used in the production of the products, variations will occur in colour and surface texture. Our product will have pinholes, colour variation and different surface details.
Concrete inherently has marks, swirls, patterns and imperfections as a result of the casting and finishing process, this is what makes it so unique and appealing as it has a refined rawness which has been handmade.
When comparing concrete to say granite, marble, quartz or acrylic (Corian, Staron, Tristone etc.) Concrete is different. Why? Granite, quartz, acrylic etc. are all different but all variations on a theme. In essence they’re all perfect.
They are either manufactured or processed in such a way that allows the edges to be perfect. With concrete there will be small imperfections.
Look after your concrete – maintain it, enjoy it, embrace it for what it is. It’s not made by machines. It’s handcrafted honestly and earnestly.
We always encourage our clients to come and visit our workshop prior to placing an order to make sure our concrete products will achieve your expectations.
