1/2" Thick Concrete







My favorite thing about the GFRC techonology is that it opens up the range of what i can do with concrete. Although it has become commonplace to pour concrete countertops as thin as 1-1/2" thick with traditional methods, Use of the homogeneous glass reinforcement has enabled me to break out of this range. I knew I could make it 3/4" thick, and I had become fairly confident with 1/2" thick backsplashes, but I wasnt sure if it would work as a countertop. Wow, what a surprise. It is strong, stable, and fantastic. In this particular case, we added an integral sink as well.
