Frequently Asked Questions

How does concrete compare to granite on price?

Liquid Stone Studios
If calculated on a square foot basis, our countertops can cost less, the same or more than granite, which is becoming more affordable and readily available to the masses. Just as paintings are not sold by the square foot, we tend to price our countertops per project, not by size, as not all square feet are created equal. More creative and technically complex projects require more complex forms and a more sophisticated mold making process.

What about concrete?

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete is a commonly requested material. To be honest, we don't know much about gluing to concrete. You could check with some building sites. Cement is the adhesive that holds concrete together. It will take some research on our part but we are thinking about doing concrete. A very cool and specialized glue! It does its job then you can roll it into ball and ... well, have a ball with it. The glue that is used for "tip ins" (magazine jargon) is referred to as a Peel and Stick glue.

Why choose concrete over granite, corian or solid surface?

Liquid Stone Studios
Concrete is handmade especially for you. Cast concrete is a refreshing alternative for those seeking a look or design different to the usual mass-produced materials that are becoming commonplace and which, compared to concrete, can lack personality and soul. Versatile concrete lends itself to almost limitless design possibilities. By modifying its color, surface texture and form, it is adaptable to any setting or style, it can add warmth to a room, or make a design statement.

How do cast concrete countertops compare with granite in price?

Roy Burch Concrete - Countertop FAQ
Answer: The cost of producing a cast concrete countertop has very little to do with the size of the piece and everything to do with the complexity of the form, the mold making process, and the desired finish. Our countertops are priced for the individual, unique sculptural forms that they are, not as a commodity product that is priced by the lineal or square foot.
