As concrete countertops become more mainstream, many professionals as well as DIYers are seeking a better alternative to the “mix your own” formulations and are choosing to go with more proven, consistent pre-packages concrete countertop mixes. While some mixes require special liquid polymer additives the more advanced mixes only require water, and will provide a smooth flowable consistency that will cure rock hard.

The manufacturing process of a concrete countertop can entail many different details and processes. Today, it’s nice to know that even if you haven’t developed a prefect consistent mix formula of your own, enCOUNTER® concrete countertop mix will provide a pre-packaged formula that is guaranteed to work time after time. So now you can focus on your creative elements, coloration and other details far more exciting than making a concrete mix.

A prepackaged bag of concrete countertop mix will yield a very specific amount of material and will deliver consistent results with little fuss. Each countertop, once cured will provide high strength, non-shrinking, and aesthetically appealing finish that is ready to be polished or sealed as a finished product.

enCOUNTER® Professional Concrete Countertop Mix

Concrete from your local hardware store will provide a rock hard surface, but lets consider how the countertop will be used. High strength concrete will work in pours of 3-6 inches thick and will be ideal for sidewalks and patios, but a countertop needs a few characteristics that make it more of a functional and designer piece of work.

Concrete countertops should be high strength, and be rated to 7000 psi or greater, have little to no cracking due to shrinkage, offer a quality product that has a lighter weight than typical concrete, cures faster for quicker installs, and be strong even though the actual slab is as thin as 1-2 inches.

enCOUNTER® concrete countertop mix is a blend of limestone, aggregates, cement and high performance admixtures that improve flowability, increase strength, minimize shrinkage and cracking while delivering a product that reaches 8000 psi in strength after a full cure period.

Coloration for concrete countertops can be achieved with integral coloration, surface dyes and/or concrete stains. By combining different coloration techniques you can achieve virtually limitless colors and hues.

Start with the enCOUNTER mix. This is the mix that forms entire countertop.
For a textured look you can add enMAGIC to the countertop  (optional).
If you want a solid color you can use enCOLOR to dye the concrete before it’s poured (optional).
For textured edges you can use enFORMS for a nontraditional look (optional).
After your concrete is poured, you can use enPOXY or enSPARTIC to protect it from stains and give it a professional finish.
To form surfaces thinner than 1 inch (such as a sink mold), use enFLOW to make the concrete fluid and moldable, and then enFORCE to create strength.
