LAMINATE CONCRETE PANELS FOR USE AS COUNTERTOPS OR THE LIKE

摘要

Laminate concrete countertops and methods for fabricating same employ a plywood core or substrate onto which concrete layers are applied using spray techniques. In one embodiment, a countertop template is created at the installation site, and subsequently used at a remote fabrication site to cut the core to the customized size and shape before application the sprayed concrete layers. In some embodiments, the core or substrate and overlying concrete layers are left exposed at one or more edges to provide visually contrasting layers creating a unique appearance over conventional countertops. Edge covering pieces visually contrasting the concrete itself can also be installed to further characterize the appearance of the countertop, and may be removably installed to allow swapping out of different edge pieces to reconfigure the countertop appearance over time.
