General
Will my concrete piece crack?
Traditional concrete can be prone to cracking. We don't use traditional concrete to create our pieces, we use fibre reinforced concrete (FRC). The fibres used in FRC increase the strength of our concrete pieces and significantly reduce the likelihood of cracking.
The unique and natural qualities of concrete mean that concrete surfaces develop character overtime. Although rare, this may include hairline cracking (very small, shallow lines) which do not impact the structural integrity of a piece. We believe these only add to the character of a piece and make it more unique.
Will my concrete piece scratch or stain?
Concrete is a naturally porous material and is susceptible to staining. We protect our concrete from stains and scratches by applying layers of a high-quality sealant which has a two-part sealing system. If you spill your cup of coffee, simply wipe the spill as soon as you can.
Like other materials, such as stone, you’ll stain the sealer (not the concrete) if you leave spills on your concrete surface for a long period of time.
What sealers do you use on your concrete pieces?
We use two different types of sealers depending upon the use of a piece and its surface finish. Both of these sealers provide a layer of protection against staining and scratching.They each work slightly differently. A topical sealer is layered on top of a concrete surface, whilst a penetrating sealer penetrates the surface and closes the concrete pours.

What are some other important considerations for installation?
Please ensure the dimensions of the furniture are able to be installed I.e. ensure tables can fit through doorways required to pass through to reach the installation location.
Please ensure clear and safe access for delivery, especially considering the size and weight of the table.
Standard installation is for ground floor delivery. If additional handling is required (e.g., stairs, tight spaces, or special equipment), extra charges may apply.
