Custom-Built Concrete Kitchen Benchtops
Bespoke concrete kitchen benchtops, islands and BBQ benchtops, templated against your joinery, cast full-depth in our Mordialloc studio, installed nationally. If a standard surface fits, browse Concrete Benchtops & Countertops first.
The Process
Brief, template, cast, install. Four stages.
Every custom kitchen benchtop runs through four stages: brief (joinery drawings, cut-out positions), site template against installed cabinetry, cast and cure on a four-to-six-week studio schedule, then two-person delivery and install. Slabs are 20 mm cast throughout with a built-up apron sized to the design (60 mm reads contemporary, 100 mm reads architectural).
01 / Brief
You send the joinery drawings.
Cabinetry plan, cut-out positions, splashback context. We respond within two business days with the questions we need answered before quoting.
02 / Template
Site templating once joinery is installed.
We template against your installed cabinetry, never against a drawing alone. Templating sets the cure date.
03 / Cast & cure
Six-to-ten-week studio schedule.
Full-depth cast in a single pour where possible. Cured on schedule. Finished by hand. Pigment and polish chosen at quote.
04 / Install
Two-person delivery and place.
Our 20 mm cast slab plus built-up apron is meaningfully lighter than a full-depth concrete top, which suits standard kitchen cabinetry. Two-person site place. Plumber and electrician coordinate around the install.
Featured project / Elsternwick, VIC
A bone white concrete kitchen and laundry.
For an SG2 Architects design in Elsternwick, we cast a series of bone white concrete benchtops from our silica-free formulation. The brief covered a coffee and breakfast station built into the main kitchen, plus a flowing laundry run, all in the same pigment and the same finish.
Concrete carries weight. Timber softens it. The bone white pigment was chosen to sit alongside the oak joinery rather than push against it, a kitchen benchtop that recedes when the room is in use and steps forward when it's bare. The concrete handles the work surfaces (coffee station, prep area, laundry top) and the timber handles everything else.
The joins are clean, the pigment is even through the full depth of the slab, and the seal is food-safe for daily kitchen use. Cast in our Mordialloc studio, templated against installed cabinetry, delivered and installed by our two-person team.
Location: Elsternwick, Victoria. Design: SG2 Architects. Build: Silverstream Constructions. Material: bone white concrete, silica-free formulation. Application: coffee and breakfast station (main kitchen) plus laundry run.
National Delivery / All cities
Concrete kitchen benchtops, delivered Australia-wide.
We deliver and install concrete kitchen benchtops and concrete countertops to every capital and major regional centre. Melbourne metro is included in the studio quote; other locations are quoted per piece against the cast complexity, the delivery distance, and the install requirements. Two-person install team always.

Material / The composition
Silica-free; full-depth; cast for the cabinetry brief.
Every concrete kitchen benchtop or polished concrete countertop is cast from the same composition we use across the studio: silica-free, full-depth, roughly four times the strength of standard concrete. Pigment, polish (honed or satin), edge profile, and overall dimensions specified at quote. Cooktop and sink sit in the perimeter run in another material; the concrete carries the island top.
The studio seal is food-safe and built for ordinary household use.
Send the Joinery Drawings

Two business days to a hand-prepared quote. Studio schedule from quote acceptance.
Common Questions
Custom-built kitchen benchtops, what people ask.
-
Do you template against drawings, or against the installed cabinetry? +
Always against installed cabinetry. Drawings are useful for the brief and the quote, but the cure is committed only after a physical template. This avoids cabinetry tolerance issues and ensures the benchtop sits flush.
-
How long after templating does the benchtop arrive? +
Four to six weeks from template date. The studio schedule does not rush the cure. Full strength comes from a deliberate timeline. Plumber and electrician are coordinated against the install date once the cure completes.
-
Can the cast include a sink, drainboard, or recessed cooktop? +
No. We don't cast integrated sinks, drainboards, or recessed cooktops into the slab. The longest-lived concrete benchtops we've installed are the ones that stay out of the wet zone: daily acid contact from citrus, vinegar and wine etches sealed concrete over years, and built-in basins pool water at the seal line. Site the sink and cooktop in the perimeter run in Caesarstone, granite, stainless or porcelain, and keep the concrete for the island top. That's the install that lasts.
-
What's the load on the cabinetry? +
Our kitchen benchtops are a 20 mm cast slab throughout, with a built-up apron sized to the visible front edge (60 mm contemporary, 100 mm architectural). The 20 mm slab is meaningfully lighter than a full-depth concrete top, which suits standard cabinetry. We supply exact load specs at quote so your kitchen joiner or builder can confirm the sub-structure.
-
Do you install in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast? +
Yes. See the National Delivery section above. Melbourne metro is included in the studio quote; other cities are quoted per piece against the cast complexity, the delivery distance, and the install requirements. Two-person install team always.
-
Is the concrete silica-free? +
Yes. Our composition is silica-free. We developed it in-house for full-depth casting and food-safe sealing. It's roughly four times the compressive strength of standard concrete.
-
What protections do I have if something goes wrong? +
Your protection is the consumer guarantees set out in the Australian Consumer Law. Manufacturing fault and structural failure are covered; hairline crazing is part of cast concrete's character and is not. Damage from impact, misuse, or unauthorised modification sits outside that.
