Scratch Resistance:
StoneCraft concrete is scratch-resistant. Still, we recommend using or having us build in a cutting board in order to protect your knives and your countertop’s sealer.
Heat Resistance:
Concrete is extremely heat-resistant. All StoneCraft colors are heat-resistant to at least 1200°. Furthermore, the sealers that we apply are also heat-resistant. Nevertheless, we recommend using a hot pad or having us build an attractive trivet into the counter.
Strength:
StoneCraft countertops have compressive strength of 8,000-10,000 pounds per square inch (psi), making them one of the strongest solid surface counters available.
Reinforcement w/ Flexibility:
At StoneCraft, we use high-strength, lightweight carbon and poly vinyl (pva) fibers to reinforce our concrete. This creates a counter with superior tensile strength allowing it to handle loads of over 1000 pounds on an unsupported 12-inch overhang.
Chipping:
Any solid surface may chip. In the unlikely event of a chip, it can be filled and/or sanded to original appearance.
Cracking:
As concrete matures and completes the curing process, final shrinking can cause a bit of micro cracking. These cracks are never structural; and, combined with our rich colors, they add depth and character to the piece.
Stain-Resistance:
Like any natural solid surface, StoneCraft Concrete is not totally stainless. However, our crafting process, along with the application of our sealer, minimizes surface porosity and make spills easy to clean up. Nevertheless, we recommend that you clean spills up behind you.
