Elevate Your Space with Custom Crafted Concrete Benchtops

It’s all about the finer details. Creating the perfect kitchen is not just about the aesthetics, although we understand that the kitchen is often the centrepiece of the home, and having a showstopper for a kitchen island is often high on the priority list. 

The feel to the touch and the look of architectural concrete is unlike no other material available on the market. Texture and movement in your piece will visually stimulate, and the feel of the bench when you run your hands over it will be just like running your hands over silk. 

Our ability to shape and form the concrete, teamed with our intimate knowledge of the organic nature of concrete, and how it performs in certain environments, has allowed us to achieve some truly mind blowing feats in creating some breathtakingly stunning pieces. 

Because we make every single one of our pieces by hand from beginning to end, we are not limited to “slab” sizes like other materials. We will work with you to ensure your design is structurally viable, and when required, we will offer you suggestions to adjust the design, whilst ensuring the desired end result is achieved for you. 

Collaboration is key to our process. Share your vision with us, and watch as it evolves into a unique masterpiece. Our range of finishes spans from sleek and polished to raw and industrial, each available in a spectrum of captivating colours. Tailored to the precise measurements of your project, we ensure a perfect fit for every concrete benchtop we create in Illawarra, making each piece as unique as you.

MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT WITH A HANDMADE, BESPOKE CONCRETE BENCHTOP

We craft custom pieces at our workshop to minimise on-site mess. For more challenging locations or larger benchtop sizes over 5m, we offer on-site pouring with our signature unique finish. Our service caters to the distinct needs of residential and commercial clients, including architects and designers working on special projects.

We are no longer limited to the traditional bulkiness and look that regular concrete offers. Our engineered concrete mixes have been refined and improved over the years. The mastery of skill combined with thorough product knowledge and an understanding of the limitations of architectural concrete, have brought us to a point in the architectural design space where we can really step outside of what were once the limits of architectural kitchen design.

Choosing a handcrafted architectural concrete kitchen made especially for you, just the way you want, is an investment. We understand that. We also know that we will create a space that will become the central focal point of your home, where you will create life long memories with your family and friends over the years, and that you will be proud of.
At Set In Steel we love a challenge; Very rarely will we be presented with a design idea that we are not willing to take on. We are constantly pushing the envelope beyond the traditional, truly taking the concept of a kitchen island, and elevating it to an artistic experience, evoking emotion and passion captured in the piece.

A niche product, we are focused on educating the general public on the endless possibilities that architectural concrete offers as an option. When faced with the choice of materials being considered for an upcoming renovation or new build project, consider the FEEL of the material you choose, the TEXTURE, the DURABILITY, the LONGEVITY, the sheer SIZE of your kitchen island, as well as HOW you intend on using this area of your home.

The Unmatched Quality of Our Concrete Benchtops

Our commitment to quality shines through our partnership with Domcrete, a leading supplier in the industry. Each benchtop is:

Sealed to Perfection: Our sealers are not a general concrete sealer. Specifically designed for the application to architectural concrete benchtops, our sealers have been pushed to the limits through numerous tests conducted. The primer coats provide protection by penetrating the surface, of which two are applied. The final three coats of sealer we apply creates a thin film acting as a barrier, providing additional protection from the elements, and spills. Our sealers provide the added protection ensuring longevity, whilst maintaining the raw, organic feel and texure of concrete.

Customisable Dimensions: Our high-density mixes are specifically designed for their application in the construction of high-end, luxurious architectural benches and furniture. Displaying flexurual strength and sealed for high use areas, there is no limitation to thickness, our benchtops can be made as thin as 15mm and can be made as thick as the project requires, or you desire.

A Palette of Colours and Finishes to Choose From

Personalise your concrete benchtop with any colour – be it classic white, bold black, or a rich, dark hue. We also offer Terrazzo finishes, providing a variety of aggregates to reflect your personality perfectly.
