Recently I have been consulting on a countertop job. Studiobuild is renovating a 1890's house in the Hyde park neighborhood of Kansas City. The owner has black concrete countertops in his current home and wanted them in the new home. So, I came on to coordinate placing the countertops for the new house.
Here we are with the molds setup in at the Studiobuild shop.
Damon, the owner, handled the dirty work. We used a modified quikrete mix with latex, fibers, and black dye.
Molds were standard melamine reinforced with plaster mesh.
Damon's wife makes Murano glass jewelry. He inlaid some glass rods and granite into the surface.
Jerad and Ryan of Studiobuild assisting damon's friends placing.
Mmmm, black concrete.
This kitchen had six pieces and took about 9 cubic feet of concrete.
Not a bad finished surface.
