anyone else done such concrete tops share some insights?

My contractor does it by driling metal rebars into the wall, and use plywood for the molding..after curing///then only use red brick for the leg

i am referring to bathroom sink vainty

my plan is to tile my vanity, but hate tiles punya joint lines...so i need to find one big piece of tile big enuff to cover my length of countertop.
After that how to tile the leg without joints....haha i am clueless

Have a look at artificail granite. It is without joint. Your top and leg can look like 1 piece monolithic structure.

Yes, at my parking area. If you looking for blink blink glossy it going to be hard to maintain, matt will be easy. Depending the finishing.

In the US is been years they doing it. And we in Malaysia still see this as miracle come from the sky. And so hard to find the material use it for. I managed to make some acid for one or two color but not large enough for entire house. End up i pay premium for the setup.

I hope the material can now easily be purchase and used in Malaysia. I may one day make my entire indoor with acid stain.
