Concrete countertops · Made in Norfolk

Custom concrete countertops.
Made in Norfolk.

Hâpax designs and precasts concrete countertops, islands, vanities, and hospitality surfaces around exact dimensions, daily use, structure, finish, delivery, and installation—not a standard slab catalog.

The useful starting point

A custom countertop should solve the room’s dimensions and function while remaining honest about concrete’s weight, variation, and care.

Project fit

Where custom concrete becomes useful.

Concrete is most compelling when its form, thickness, color, texture, or integrated details do something a standard manufactured surface cannot.

01

Kitchens + islands

Residential worktops and islands designed around cabinetry, appliances, sinks, overhangs, seams, and the way the room is used.

02

Baths + vanities

Countertops and integrated-basin concepts where proportion, water exposure, mounting, and wall conditions need to be resolved together.

03

Hospitality + commercial

Bars, service counters, reception surfaces, and large-format focal points coordinated with equipment, circulation, branding, and installation access.

Decisions that matter

Custom dimensions create real responsibilities.

Proportion, reinforcement, support, seams, penetrations, handling, and maintenance are part of the design—not details to solve after casting.

01

Scale + thickness

The visual weight of the surface is balanced against handling, support, span, edge conditions, and the architecture around it.

02

Color + character

Mix, pigment, finishing, and handwork establish direction while natural variation keeps each cast piece from looking manufactured.

03

Seams + integrated details

Piece size, sinks, faucets, outlets, equipment, backsplashes, waterfall legs, and access determine where joints and penetrations belong.

04

Protection + care

Sealer selection and maintenance expectations are discussed around staining, heat, abrasion, water, and the client’s tolerance for patina.

How Hâpax approaches it

A clear path.
Before the work begins.

  1. 01

    Begin with the room

    Share plans, dimensions, cabinetry, equipment, references, schedule, and what the surface needs to accomplish.

  2. 02

    Resolve the design

    Hâpax develops proportion, layout, structure, finish, samples, handling, and installation requirements.

  3. 03

    Cast in Norfolk

    Approved pieces move through forming, reinforcement, casting, curing, finishing, sealing, and final review in the Hâpax studio.

  4. 04

    Plan the placement

    Delivery, access, support, seams, field conditions, and installation responsibilities are confirmed before the piece leaves the studio.

Useful questions

What clients usually want to know.

What do custom concrete countertops cost?

Hâpax’s published countertop planning range is $225–$350 or more per square foot; custom commissions start at $3,500. Geometry, finish, integrated sinks, reinforcement, access, delivery and installation affect the proposal. Share a sketch or cabinet plan, approximate dimensions, sink information and project location so we can review the scope before giving project-specific pricing.

Will concrete countertops stain?

Concrete countertops can stain, but the materials and sealing system make a significant difference. A dense, high-performance mix such as Kodiak Pro Maker Mix, properly cured, processed and treated with ICT reactive sealer, provides strong resistance to everyday spills while preserving concrete’s natural appearance. Stain-resistant does not mean stain-proof. Protection depends on proper application and curing, the substance spilled and how long it remains on the surface. Wipe up spills promptly—especially acidic foods, oils and strongly colored liquids—and follow the care instructions supplied with your countertop. Extra care is important while the reactive sealer develops its full protection.

Can I put hot pans on concrete or cut directly on it?

Use trivets for hot cookware and cutting boards for food preparation. Concrete’s heat resistance does not mean its sealer is immune to heat or scratching. Product-specific resistance varies, so follow the care instructions for the actual finish rather than treating the countertop as an unprotected concrete slab.

Will a concrete countertop crack?

Concrete can develop fine cracking and natural variation. Reinforcement, geometry, support, handling and installation are designed to manage that risk, not eliminate every possibility. Hâpax reviews the intended use and appearance expectations before approval; new damage or a change in a crack should be assessed rather than assumed to be cosmetic.

Will a large island or bar have seams?

Not necessarily. Site access is often the biggest factor: doorways, stairs, elevators, turns and the route into the room determine what can realistically be delivered and installed in one piece. The next consideration is value. A seamless piece may be achievable, but fabrication, handling and installation can add significant cost. We help you weigh that investment against thoughtfully placed seams, considering the design, support requirements and how the surface will be used.

Can my existing cabinets support a concrete countertop?

In many cases, yes. Our concrete countertops typically weigh around 10 pounds per square foot, often less than granite or other stone surfaces. Actual weight depends on the design and thickness. The condition and construction of the cabinets still matter, along with spans, overhangs and sink openings. We review those details to identify any support needed before installation.

Can the sink be integrated into the concrete?

Integrated basins and drain details are possible when the use, geometry, plumbing, maintenance and installation plan support them. A separate undermount or other sink may be a better fit for some projects. Share the intended basin or sink model early so the surrounding concrete and penetrations can be designed together.

Does Hâpax template, deliver and install the countertop?

Yes. Hâpax offers templating, delivery and installation. Customers can also supply their own template and arrange pickup from our Norfolk studio to reduce the overall investment. We confirm template requirements, dimensions, handling and installation responsibilities before fabrication so everyone understands what is included.

How should I clean concrete countertops, and when do they need resealing?

Clean spills promptly and use gentle, nonabrasive cleaning appropriate to the selected finish. Avoid experimenting with harsh cleaners, acids or abrasive pads. Resealing and repair needs depend on the protective system and wear; there is no single schedule for every concrete countertop. Follow the project-specific care instructions and contact Hâpax if the finish is damaged.

Are financing options available?

Financing is available for all Hâpax offerings, subject to approval and applicable terms. Availability, approval and terms are reviewed separately from Hâpax’s project recommendation and written proposal.
