Our standard length for a 1½” thick countertop is 7’. In certain cases, we may exceed that length, but we will always ensure structural safety. A 1½” thick counter top can be overhang 12” without any support. Larger overhangs are made possible by using supports. We use steel rein­forcement in cases where safety and structural integrity may be at risk. See similar questions...

Our counters are generally cast 2” thick, or more, which gives them a pleasing sense of mass and sets them apart from the common 1 1/2” thickness of most other countertops. This thickness also provides enough material for integral drain boards and integral cutting boards. Drop edges of 8 inches or more may be incorporated for a heavier look, without adding appreciably to the weight, while our backsplashes are usually 5/8” thick. See similar questions...

When one hears the word concrete, the vision of a sidewalk almost always enters the mind. Although this is a common use for concrete, it does the fabricated stone no justice.

Concrete comes into its own. Concrete is not a static material. If you seek a surface that will not evolve or acquire character over time, choose another material. Rather, concrete is what Amelia Concrete Fusion, Inc. calls "high affect." Handmade and tactile, it is influenced by its interaction with the craftsman and eventual user. For the many people who love concrete, the unpredictability is part of its attraction. See similar questions...

We seal all of our countertops to ensure water and stain resistance. But this does not mean that they are totally stain proof. Acidic substances such as lemon juice, vinegar, or red wine should not be left on the countertop for more than several hours if spilled to avoid staining. Cutting directly on the countertops or placing extremely hot pots on the countertops may compromise the sealer allowing liquids to seep in and stain the concrete. See similar questions...
