What should I clean my counters with?
We recommend using any non-abrasive mild soap. Simple Green or diluted Dr. Bronners are some good choices but there are many others.
How is my counter sealed?
We seal all our counters with a penetrating sealer and then put multiple layers of wax over that. A good waxing every 4 months will maintain the luster of your counter. Sealer can be applied every 2 years.
Can my counter crack?
Hairline cracking can occur, these cracks do not affect the structural integrity and will add to the character of the piece.
Can I cut on it?
You can but you may damage the wax sealant as well as your knives.
Will my counter have seams?
It will depend on the piece itself. Some counters will have seams due to logistics on size and the installation of monolithic pieces. Seams are carefully thought out in our designs and only add to the beauty of piece.
What are the different colours?
See our colours section for options available.
Can you put hot objects on the counters?
Hot pots and pans can be put on your counter but may yellow the finish, trivets can be inlaid to accommodate pots and pans.
What about integral sinks and back splashes?
We will make custom integral sinks for bathrooms only, custom back splashes can be made to order.
Who will deliver and install my counter?
Concrete Cat does offer delivery and installation of the counters we design and manufacture. Anyone with experience installing granite, marble or other stone counters can install our counters.
