Concrete Network Highlights Cantilevered Countertops as the Latest Trend in Decorative Concrete
Calimesa, Calif. (PRWEB) August 24, 2015 -- In a recent edition of their monthly newsletter, Concrete Network provided an in-depth look at cantilevered countertop projects. Despite the typical notion of concrete being extremely heavy and dense, these projects show that the material is surprisingly flexible. Through the use of specialty mix designs and advanced reinforcement techniques, gravity-defying countertops can be created, for both indoor and outdoor applications, without the use of additional supports.
According to Concrete Network, countertop slabs are being made longer with fewer seams, allowing for more complex structures and fewer cracks. “Despite their weight, concrete countertops can extend well beyond their support base to create cantilevers that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes,” mentions Jim Peterson, company president.
For those interested in trying their hand at creating a cantilevered countertop, Concrete Network offers educational information on high-strength, low-weight mix designs as well as reinforcement methods and a photo gallery.
