What materials do you use to make your products?

We use a high performance blend of concrete with special additives to achieve a durable and long lasting product. A lot of effort goes into every project so we feel it's important to start with the best materials. Our concrete can be blended with various pigments and aggregates to achieve the desired look and feel.

We offer a wide range of color options, including natural grays, whites, blacks, and various earth tones. See our Sink Design Catalog for some of our color options. We can also create custom colors beyond our standard palette. We use pigments that are blended into the concrete and integral throughout the mix.
Can you match the concrete color to existing elements in my home?

Yes. We can match or complement the color of existing elements, such as countertops, flooring, or cabinetry. We may ask for samples to ensure an accurate match.
Can you incorporate embedded materials or inlays into the concrete?

Yes. We can embed a variety of materials, such as glass, stone, and metal into the concrete surface for a unique and personalized touch.
What is the weight of a concrete sink or table?

Our sinks are about 12-15 lbs per sqft. depending on the design, and our tables will be about 9 to 12 lbs per sqft. We provide specific weight estimates during the design phase.
Can concrete be used outdoors?

Our concrete products are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. We use a specialized sealer that protect the concrete from weathering, UV rays, and moisture, making them perfect for patios and other exterior spaces.
How is my concrete product shipped?

We carefully crate each product and ship them from our studio in Huntsville, AL using trusted freight carriers. We ship our products throughout the US and internationally.
How do I care for and maintain my concrete product?

Our products are easy to maintain with proper care. See our Care and Use Guide for details. We recommend cleaning them with a soft cloth or sponge and a pH-neutral cleaner, or soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Are concrete sinks and tables prone to staining or scratching?

While concrete is a durable material, it is naturally porous. All our products are sealed with a high performance food grade sealer that resists common household liquids. We do recommend cleaning up spills promptly and avoid placing sharp or heavy objects directly on the surface to prevent scratches.
