    I would have done a 1/4” to 1/2” plywood underlayment atop the cabinets and then attached the rockboard. This would ensure the sink weight, when it has water in it will be strong and it won’t deflect or stress the concrete top and possibly cause cracking/ spalling. If the cabinets are 33” tall then you need a full 3” top to get to 36” finished height.

    Beautiful! I’ve always thought about creating a concrete countertop, but have shied away from the complexity involved. The method you used looks very doable, though. It would be interesting to see a one year review of this project about how it has held up and how satisfied your are with the performance of your countertop.

    • @DesignRhythm
      @DesignRhythm Před 3 měsíci

      That is definitely the one drawback - especially in the kitchen. We would use an organic based sealant, but it wasn't strong enough to resist stains - especially wine and citrus. If you don't wipe it immediately, they etch. We used stronger industrial level sealant, but then it's not the best for health reasons. Catch 22. They are beautiful when 1st installed though for sure.

      @DesignRhythm Před 3 měsíci

      @@succubiuseisspin3707 Honestly, it looks crappy. Unfortunately it is not a patinaed look that you are thinking of... Basically picture all kinds of sweat rings from glasses that you can't get rid of without re-sanding/polishing/sealing. However, the feeling of density with concrete, which we all love, still remains. Like I said, you just have to really watch it like a hawk / use coasters, clean up spills immediately. But one party, and it is etched.

  • @japansh
    @japansh Před 12 dny

    great job, I've found that vibration is a key to a great concrete countertop, you can carefully use a reciprocating saw without a blade as makeshift concrete vibrator. Also to have a finish without any voids even super small one, concrete topping can be used after the first pass of sanding/polishing with 60/80 grid.

    The only thing I would’ve done additionally?: silicon caulk around the bottoms & edges of the foam forms prior to screwing then in-place.
    & (no joke intended although it sounds funny) I would have used a vibrating massage device from underneath several passes in lieu of just tapping the edges.

That's a small brittle bit that needs something
