Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use concrete in my home?

  • Fry Home Solutions crafts concrete kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, sinks, showers, fireplaces, tables and more.
  • Concrete can also be used in vertical applications such as backsplashes, shower surrounds, and fireplace surrounds.
  • Concrete can be used both indoor and outdoor.

Who would want concrete countertops?

You like bath or kitchen countertop options that are unique and personalized.

You want something that looks natural and has character.

You appreciate high quality, hand crafted items.

You think granite and quartz are too shiny, too formal and too common.

You think synthetic solid surface materials look and feel like plastic.

You need a color or visual texture that is not available with other materials.

Custom concrete countertops can be your solution.



Advantages

  • Custom: Your countertop will be unique to you and highly personalized.
  • Versatile: Can enhance any design style; the possibilities are endless.
  • Practical: Fry Home Solutions uses a sealer that is extremely stain resistant and low maintenance.  The sealer does not degrade and does not need to be reapplied year after year.  It is very heat resistant.
  • Imperfections: Concrete countertops are hand made and hand finished.  Since concrete is a heterogeneous mixture of many different ingredients, subtle variations in color, shade, texture and overall appearance should be expected.  All concrete is susceptible to harmless hairline cracks.  They will sometimes appear months or years after installation and are generally the result of seasonal movement of the cabinets and the house itself. These should be considered part of the aesthetic charm of concrete and not a defect.  Concrete exhibits natural beauty rather than plastic perfection.


Disadvantages

  • Staining: Concrete countertops actually behave similar to granite in this regard. Our sealer provides superior protection to common household spills.  Food, acids and oil will not stain your countertop if wiped up immediately.
  • Scratching: While the sealer is very durable, it is possible to scratch the surface. Use cutting boards and do not cut directly on countertops.
  • Lead time: Because concrete countertops are completely hand crafted for each client, they take longer than sheet goods that are simply cut by a machine.  

How much do countertops cost?

Concrete countertops are completely custom and competitive in price with high end granite.  We are happy to work with you and your designer to give you an estimate on your project, and can help you with options to fit your budget.

What colors are available?

Any color!  Any color can be produced in a solid, speckled or variegated pattern. You can add embedded stone, glass or other objects. We can work with you to customize existing colors or match the color of a paint chip or fabric.  Providing color samples may take up to 3 weeks.  We will then produce a 12" x 12" concrete tile  for your approval.  See the next page for color samples.
