Ep 10: Making Concrete Countertops! How to make your own concrete counter - DIY Kitchen Cabinets

Alright! Concrete countertops are awesome, and in this video I show how to build a highly custom countertop by creating a unique mold. This countertop has an integrated drainboard, large round corners surrounding a deep double hole granite farmhouse sink, and a nice thick look. I embedded some unique accents that you won't see anywhere else: a crescent wrench, fork and spoon! This countertop was cast with the Concrete Exchange's DFRC: a fiber reinforced concrete that allows you to skip using rebar and steel as a reinforcement. It creates a countertop that is a lot lighter than standard concrete, and uses less materials.

Materials:
I purchased the concrete mix from the Concrete Exchange in Berkeley, CA. They have a website and will ship: http://www.concreteexchange.com. I used the XS Precast mix , in white, as I was told it gives the most vibrant black. The liquid is "Surecrete Xtreme Modifier", not just normal water; it is formulated to work with the mix. The color is the "Jet Black", also by Surecete; 1 package per bag of mix.
