Using customized techniques, polished concrete kitchen benchtops are created in-situ i.e., in their original place where it is to be installed or in the factory.

The making of concrete kitchen benchtops depends on the choice and style opted by the customer. Accordingly, using smooth surface material like melamine, a framework mold is designed for the benchtop to give precise shape to the benchtop.
The required sections for sinks and taps are provided as per the design and can also be split into smaller sections so that they may be lifted and installed easily.
Concrete material with desired color and aggregates for desired texture like granite, marble, or quartz along with, if desired, seashells or some phosphorescent may be added to concrete mix before pouring in mold.
While pouring concrete in the mold, a vibrator or vibrating machine the material is vigorously shaken to remove air bubble to ensure a smooth surface for the concrete kitchen benchtop that may take several days in setting properly.
