Customizable Mixes

Even though prepackaged countertop mixes are carefully formulated and precisely proportioned to ensure foolproof results, many products allow you to add a few of your own embellishments or enhance the performance with optional modifiers.

Concrete Countertop Insitute

For example, both the Quikrete Countertop Mix and SureCrete's Xtreme Countertop can be seeded with decorative aggregates or other decorative embedments, such as pieces of recycled glass or metal shavings. However, you will need to grind the surface after it sets to expose the aggregate. Both companies also sell acid-based stains that can be applied to the cured countertop to create a variegated stonelike finish in a variety of earth-toned shades.

To produce countertops with an extremely smooth, abrasion-resistant surface, you can enhance The Stamp Store's enCounter mix with enForce, a heavy-duty nonmetallic fiber that is said to boost long-term durability without changing the appearance. The product is packaged in premeasured water-dispersible bags that are added directly to the mix.

NeoMix, another countertop product from Cheng Concrete, has three separately packaged components that are added individually to bags of premium sacked concrete: a liquid water reducer, pigment, and an admixture with micro-reinforcement fibers and an accelerant that speed set times while making the concrete stronger and less prone to cracking. Cheng says that NeoMix is designed for concrete professionals who want to customize their mix and have greater control over variables such as set time, plasticity and color, since each component is added separately. You can mix and match NeoMix pigments or use your own pigments to produce a custom color.
