Information About Our Concrete

Trueform Concrete has found the middle ground between beauty and practicality. Everywhere our product is placed is a different environment with different requirements and therefore each and every piece is customized for the end user. Our objective is to create concrete products that have a natural look, require little to no maintenance, and are tough enough for everyday use. Each concrete piece is not only practical; it is a beautiful, one of a kind work of art - a look that you will not find anywhere else!

One of the main advantages to using concrete is its customizability. When you choose concrete, you are designing your piece from start to finish. Every aspect of the product can be tailored to fit your lifestyle. The things that are really important to you can be addressed on an individual basis. For example, if cutting on your countertop is something that you really want to do, ask us about integral cutting boards. If you want a conference room table with your company logo incorporated into it or you want to display your grandfather's coin collection in your table top, ask us about decorative inlays. Anything is possible - all you need to do is ask! So let us know what is important to you and Trueform Concrete will create a custom piece that will meet all of your needs.

Trueform Concrete's proprietary mix design and curing process allows us to label our concrete as high strength concrete, with a compressive strength of over 6,000 psi.  Our countertops are typically a 1 ½” thick, but we can create any size thickness, even apron drops to create the illusion of an extremely thick piece. A standard 1 ½” counter top weighs approximately 18 lbs per square foot. There is no minimum or maximum length or size for our concrete countertops and other concrete products. It all depends on the size, shape, and weight of your piece, the amount of support in the cabinets or base, and the amount of access to the project site. A 1½” thick countertop can overhang 12” without any support; however larger overhangs can be made possible by using additional supports. We also use steel reinforcements in situations where safety and structural integrity may be at risk.
Our products are colored during the mixing process so that you get a solid color all the way throughout your piece. In some cases a second color is added on the top layer to accent the piece, called a glaze. Our two standard surface options are Hand Troweled and Cast.  Both surface options give your concrete a distinct look and feel.  The style that you are looking for will help you to determine which surface option is best for your project.
