Sink Crete Class Preview
- Class ONLY available through Pro Course
Perfection of Concrete Sink fabrication and a completion in efficiencies in sink products that allows the end user more options on the install and design capabilities.Sinks can be installed as an over mount, under mount or high end Vessel.
Monolithic sinks in counters can be saved for special orders, increasing efficiency. Sink Crete benefits range from higher densities & 100% stain free/chemical resistant mixes allowing quick and easy cleaning for all sink designs as well as long term newness. Sink Crete's material formulation ranges surpass all previous industry strengths & overall weights are significantly lighter than standard GFRC and other common mix designs. Another efficiency is that attachment brackets are no longer needed, simply attach adequate screws from underneath outer sink ring directly into counter for under mounts & screw through counter into bottom of sink rings for over mounts. Sink Crete also has spin off benefits that are extremely beneficial for high end oversized bath tubs. In addition to the Sink Crete fabrication systems, mold designs have an exclusive SBC design that allows a much faster and consistently stress free demold experience. Those interested in larger production runs will also be able to increase profit margins by using our extreme outer edging sink forms along with our 2 hour demold/polishing formulations.
