FAQ’s About Concrete

May 8, 2015 by admin

 

Kitchen-concrete-countertop-Vero Beach, FLWhen you think of Concrete as a surface for your kitchen/bath or any other area of your home. Don’t think of traditional concrete applications like your driveway or patio area. Think of unlimited possibilities. Think of creativity and custom designs. Think of natural looks with a modern twist.

Concrete surfaces can be polished to a glass like finish all the way up to a 3000 grit shine, or they can be left in their natural state, sealed and waxed for a more casual, relaxed look. Regardless of your taste and style, concrete allows you to create a feel and look entirely your own. We will work with you to create and design a functional and beautiful addition to your home. Modern concrete fabrication for interior and exterior applications has changed dramatically over the past 25 years. At Designer Concrete Counters we’ve studied under the master of Interior Concrete Design. Fu-Tung Cheng.

FAQs For Homeowners and Designers
Q1: Why should I entertain concrete as a material for interior applications like kitchen or bathroom counters?

Concrete is an extraordinary material that is practical, expressive, and aesthetic all at once. From a primal and formless slurry, you can transform it into virtually any shape  which hardens into a solid mass. The possibilities for creative expression are endless. You can grind, polish, stamp, or stain it and you can embed meaningful objects within it the choice is yours! [Read more…]

Florida’s Favorite – Concrete Counter Tops

April 29, 2015 by admin

Decorative concrete counters might not seem like a luxury choice, until you see one. They are made from special concrete that is mixed with pigments and poured into molds. The top surface is then evened out, or screed, and troweled smooth. After the concrete hardens for several days, it will become extremely strong and can be cut down to expose special aggregates and artwork which have been imbedded within the concrete.  We then wax the counter tops to prevent staining.

Whether you want to enhance the look and feel of your entire kitchen using concrete countertops or  You simply want to an accent piece your choices are only limited by your imagination and our creativity. The possibilities are endless! Every design we create is a one of a kind piece. We can create: Integrated drain boards, cutting boards, soap dishes, in your custom blended choice of color, They can be smooth and sleek, or we can use aggregate or blended stone. Need something more unique? How about adding pieces of art, or perhaps a few fossils, trivets, or geodes. We live near the ocean, so maybe some sea shells?

decorative concrete counter tops for kitchens and baths, Vero Beach FloridaIn this photo we created a smooth white counter top, all one piece, to complement the coral stone counter top surrounding the sink, and to contrast with the custom smoked bamboo cabinets. We did this project for a great customer in Melbourne, FL.

There are 32 basic colors in our pallette and we have the ability to blend those to suit your particular taste and design. We also do acid staining to make those colors even more unique. Here is a photo of just one style of acid staining we did on a counter top for a client in Vero Beach.  Acid Stained Counter Tops

Concrete for What?

April 29, 2015 by admin

Outdoor_BBq_hc19-254x330concrete counter tops with inlaid NautilisI bet if someone had told you 20 years ago that decorative concrete would be replacing tile and stone for counter tops you would have gently suggested they have their heads examined. Today, concrete is the medium of choice when our customers want something unique to their home. As you will see here on the site, the colors, applications and ways to spice up plain ole concrete are only limited by our imaginations.

DCCFY

April 29, 2015 by admin

Designer Concrete by DCCFY in Vero Beach FloridaI started my company in  1984 as a painting contractor,  but eventually, while the demand for  qualified HPC coatings contractors (high performance coating)  began to grow, we migrated over into the filed of decorative concrete. They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and in our case it is absolutely true. Concrete and Epoxy became the mediums of our passion. It allowed for collaboration and creativity when working with customers. Our concrete kitchens, countertops and Epoxy floors look more like art then you might think.  We also use our talents to create our Hawaiian Wall art, and we truly believe that we create some of the most beautiful epoxy floor installations that you will ever see.

Concrete Nation Part 2.

March 29, 2015 by admin

Facing the Future

A light-rail transit station in Calgary, Alberta, (above) and face sculptures adorning a condominium complex in Vancouver, British Columbia, (below) are made from new high-tech concrete materials.

designer industrial concreteFor instance, consider some of the new materials developed by concrete giant Lafarge, headquartered in Paris.  “Governments are finding they’re having to spend more and more on maintaining their infrastructure,” says Vic Perry of Lafarge North America. “That means you need to build things that last longer and are cheaper to maintain.” He’s talking about big things: bridges, highways, and buildings.

Perry leads the company’s North American operation producing Ductal, one of Lafarge’s newest concrete products. Unlike regular concrete, which is brittle and can rupture suddenly under a heavy load, Ductal can bend. “It will deflect and show signs of cracking before it fails,” says Perry. “You can see in advance that you’ve got a problem.”

What’s more, Ductal is five times as strong as regular concrete. That extra oomph comes from the addition of small fibers dispersed throughout the matrix. These fibers, made of either steel or polymer, reinforce the concrete and eliminate the need for reinforcing steel bars, or rebar. A bridge made out of Ductal can be lighter and thinner than a traditional bridge, Perry says.

Eliminating the need for steel bars has other advantages, including lengthening the lifetime of structures. Consider the deck of a bridge. In the winter, when ice-clearing salt dissolves and seeps into the concrete, it corrodes the steel. The corrosion causes the concrete to detach itself from the reinforcing metal and to crack. A conventional concrete deck needs major repairs or reconstruction after about 25 years, says Perry. “A Ductal deck should last at least twice as long,” he adds.

The material has already found its way into several pedestrian bridges around the world, as well as a light rail transit station in Calgary, Alberta. The canopies that form the roof over the station’s platform and the roof’s support columns are made entirely of Ductal. The canopies provide protection from the elements, can withstand high winds, and support heavy snow loads.

 

The labor market is another driving force behind concrete  innovations. Many people in the industry are anticipating or already  witnessing a shortage of laborers who mix, pour, and otherwise  work with concrete. The average age of these workers is increasing as few young people enter the field. “So, you have to look at new  methods and materials to reduce the amount of labor needed to build things,” says Perry.

In response to this concern, Lafarge has developed Agilia.  According to the company, laying a 60-cubic-meter slab of regular  concrete—enough for a floor in an office building—requires eight  people and takes about 8 hours. Placing the same-size slab of Agilia could require as few as two people and take a couple of hours.

Normally, after concrete is poured, the mason passes a vibrating machine over the surface to squeeze out all the air bubbles. It’s a loud and time-consuming process. However, Agilia contains a mix of additives: superplasticizers that keep the concrete fluid and other chemicals that cut down on the water needed. These enable the concrete to consolidate under its own weight without mechanical vibration.

Because the self-consolidating concrete flows when poured, it can fill intricate molds and wrap around complex structures all the while leaving a smooth finish. The increased fluidity also makes the material ideal for construction in areas of high seismic activity, where structures usually are heavily reinforced with rebar, says Jack Holley, vice president for new product development at Lafarge North America. Trying to use vibration to consolidate standard concrete riddled with a mesh of rebar can be awkward, if not impossible, he says.
