Poured in place or concrete slab

11 years ago

Would these be installed one piece at a time over a wood base or poured in place around a form? Also, what type of cement is used for strength and finish?

Hi There,

Yes, precast, one at the time over a wooden or metal structure (wood in this case)

With regards to the mix, well... a secret recipe with special additives for flexibility and micro fibers.

What also helps is the stainless frame around.

Hope this helps

Are the stainless frames custom? I've been trying to source a stainless bullnose.
