There’s some advantages in suspending your concrete sink from the wall.  It eliminates the need for any cabinetry below, allows for integrated towel racks and creates a very clean, modern look.  Suspended sinks are also great to accomodate wheelchair accessability, if that is a requirement. The sinks can be suspended using metal brackets lagged to the wall and/or  wood stripping around the perimeter if there are side walls.   The sinks usually have a deeper drop down edge to hide most of the plumbing and a wood skirt can be added to complement the design.

One of our clients had a really unique idea and commissioned us to make a sink the same shape as the lake their cottage was on.  We used  a topographical map to assist, although we did “cheat” from reality a bit in some areas just to make sure all the water made it smoothly to the drain.  Just another example of the versatility of concrete.

Many thanks to all who visited us at the Cottage Life Show.  Although we’re a little sore from moving so much concrete in and out of the International Centre, it was great to introduce some of our new sink designs, colours and styles.  The show was a resounding success and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Fabric Forming Techniques

Fabric-forming is the future of concrete, now. It is an amazing method that can be employed in the creation of custom sinks, planters, wall panels, fireplace surrounds, etc. There is a strong argument that fabric is the optimal material for creating forms, with the primary being that it creates a natural shape, a form that cannot be created any other way.  We recently learned this technique at a workshop put on by Brandon Gore of Gore Design, located in Phoenix.  This now allows us to create unique custom shapes to fit almost any application.
