Ft.).

We recommend Granicrete as a new alternative.  It has the look & feel of stone but is actually an engineered, light-weight acrylic concrete that is sealed with clear acrylic resin.  It can replicate the look of almost any kind of stone, tile, or cultured cement. 

Some of its characteristics are:

  • tough & resilient
  • overlay system to surface new counters & floors or to resurface existing ones
  • scorch & stain resistant
  • non-porous and foodsafe
  • easily installed without seams
  • customizable with unlimited colour palette
  • simple to maintain and clean
  • quieter and easier on dishes
  • a fraction of the cost

This overlay system allows you to resurface your counters or floors without demolition and added wastes to our landfill.  Further, there is no radon emissions or VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and production is in eco-friendly plants. 

You can also use it outside on patios, driveways, pool surrounds, walkways, garage floors, outdoor kitchens, etc.
