QUOTE(pakutekan @ Apr 30 2014, 12:38 PM) after some reading, im interested to diy my countertop.. but still not sure how to design the leg part as i want to install cabinet after that. sourcing material is another problem. hahaaa need smooth surface for molding. normally hardware only got plywood. How is your countertop coming? I am thinking the samethings on how to connect the concrete slab/leg to the countertop and to the floor. I saw many solid surface did this. But I don't know their tricks. Most of the example only design countertop without the leg. |

QUOTE(weikee @ Sep 13 2011, 02:12 PM) Minimal 1000 sqft, and some transporation fees. Already know the quote. One simple floor will cost you minimal 10k Whats concrete mix you use? Mix on your own or buying premix? Is using white cement enough to make it white? |

QUOTE(S'aimer @ May 18 2014, 11:02 PM) I think can use hollow concrete block? I'm not sure how it is done in Malaysia but I saw online, Singapore build the leg support first with hollow concrete blocks while waiting for the concrete countertop mould to be cured. Hi bro u still have the link? ? Thanks |

QUOTE(S'aimer @ May 20 2014, 07:44 PM) The concrete casting done in sg, I understand that they will put in the rebars inside the mould template first, then pour the mixed concrete and aggegrates. Or else the concrete top will not be strong enough even after being cured. I do think the drilling part for our side is messier, spoils the look because of the tile alignment that comes after that. Sometimes, some malaysian contractors will leave a gap between the tiles for the rebars, then much more easier. However, I feel that it is better to tile the leg support first, at least the alignment from top to bottom is neater based on my kitchen reno experience and comapring pictures. Seem like no one doing it like the western methods. Which they make a concrete slab that strong enough to be top and support. Both leg and countertop is one pieces with rebar enforced so the end product look like a furniture rather than permanently jointed to wall or floor. Western method is more science to it because they use very strong concrete mix 5000psi (fiber glass, polymer and more cement less water ratio)and reinforced with properly placed rebar to make the concrete have better blending characteristics. Rebar, wood mold will make it in one piece to create one piece concrete furniture. I so wanted to try this. |
