We utilize a unique mix design that replaces 35% of the Portland cement with a post-industrial waste that makes the product stronger and more environmentally responsible. Concrete Countertops, Etc. also makes use of the wastewater from our polishing process in our mix design, helping to protect Florida's already fragile water supply.
