Stove And Sink Support

Recommended Posts

There are many way to eat a chocolate, nevertheless, the reason you want it to be concrete support is due to chopping purpose? or for water résistance?

we will design the concrete support accordingly not to touch the existing work top if is not necessary . :good:

Tiler Seng, tks for replying. It's more for water resistance as my washing machine is just right beside it. My sink occupies 2 cabinet doors. Like to get quotation from you, what info do you need from me in order to quote?

Hi all,

I also researched quite a bit on this topic and decided to go for a concrete kitchen countertop.

Unfortunately, I think my contractor is not very experienced and messed up the construction of the concrete counter top.

I need an honest and experienced second opinion on my cracking concrete kitchen countertop as I'm not sure if the structure will be stable in future.

The problem (see picture):

We want a second opinion as we are worried that the contractor’s method of rectifying the issue may cause problems in the future.

Here’s what happened:

We asked our contractor to build a concrete kitchen countertop. He built the concrete support too low. Thankfully, we found out before our carpentry & granite top was installed. So we asked him to rectify it.

We were surprised that he rectified it by hacking the top of the granite support off and topping up the legs of the vertical support with bricks and cement to reach the agreed height (see picture).

He then patched up the joints with more cement and covered up the tiles.

A week later, we noticed that the joints cracked and the tiles cracked as well.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

We are really quite worried.

Cyanjachoc,

The problem is the tiles that you used, i believe your tiles are porcelain, they are known to crack very easily under heavy use. not rec for stone top. should have used homogeneous tiles instead.
