DCI Concrete Countertop Mix was designed with all our customers in mind and can be successfully applied by DIYer’s and professional contractors alike. DCI Countertop Mix is suitable for both indoor and outdoor precast or cast-in-place projects.

DCI Countertop Mix is high quality concrete blended with superplasticizers which ensure excellent flowability while maintaining a low water-to-concrete ratio (3 to 4 quarts per 50 lb. box). Additional mix additives work to prevent surface cracking, promote even cure rates, and increase the countertop crush and flex strength by approximately 20%.

DCI Countertop Mix can also be colored with Concrete Pigments for more uniform shades or with Concrete Acid stain or Deco Gel Acid Stain for that multi-toned appearance. Decorative Aggregates – glass or natural stone - can also be used to accent the countertop surface.

Mixing and Application Instructions
Add three to four pints of water to each per 50 lb. box of countertop mix. If using concrete pigment, mix in the color dry and add water. Blend the mixture with a Collomix or egg beater mixing paddle until smooth (thickness of mixture depends on amount of water applied). Pour into your countertop form, vibrate thoroughly and allow at least four days to completely cure. Additional cure time should be allowed for in more humid climates.

After curing, your concrete countertop can be removed from the mold. The countertop should cure for an additional 15 days outside the mold prior to grinding. Grinding is required for polished countertops and recommended to reveal decorative aggregates or to smooth rough edges. Select polishing pad grit levels appropriate to the countertop project. If acid staining, acid stain before polishing above a 200-grit level.
