Specialty Concrete

[/specialty-concrete/ →](/specialty-concrete/)

 is the catch-all for decorative projects that aren’t standard flooring or counters. Common projects:

-   **Concrete shower walls** — vertical overlays for shower surrounds. Modern, monolithic look.
-   **Vertical wall overlays** — feature walls in living spaces, entryways, accent areas.
-   **Terrazzo surfaces** — modern epoxy terrazzo or traditional cementitious terrazzo for floors or surfaces.
-   **Custom cast furniture** — coffee tables, side tables, fire pit surrounds, planters, vanity tops.
-   **Concrete sinks and tubs** — integrated or stand-alone sink and tub designs.
-   **Fireplace surrounds** — modern monolithic concrete surrounds.

## How specialty projects work

Most are shop-built. We design with you, fabricate in the shop where curing is controlled, then deliver and install. The exception is vertical wall overlays and shower walls — those are built on-site.

Materials vary by project. GFRC (glass-fiber reinforced concrete) is common for furniture and counters. Traditional concrete is used for cast-in-place architectural elements. Polymer-modified mixes are used for vertical overlays.

If you have a project that’s beyond standard flooring and counters, get in touch. We’ve done a wide range of specialty work over 21 years and we’ll scope honestly what’s possible.
