Product Description

The complete, step-by-step, full-colour how-to book of designing, forming, mixing, pouring and finishing concrete countertops by the undisputed master of the technique. Fu-Tung Cheng is a California architect and designer who has reinvented the kitchen/bathroom countertop using the medium of concrete. Countertops made of custom-formed, coloured, and finished concrete can look like marble, glass, granite, gold, or sculpture - the look is limited only by the imagination. Concrete Countertops covers every angle of designing, forming, mixing, pouring, colouring, trowelling, in-laying (e.g., brass rods to serve as a drainboard), and finishing decorative concrete countertops, all written by the man who basically invented the form. Unique: this is the only book of its kind on a very hot trend in kitchen and bathroom design. Complete and authoritative: author is a well-connected, internationally renowned expert who essentially invented the medium.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Written, 24 Jul 2003

By	H C Seibert-Jones (Derby, derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

In the middle of a large refurbishment project and have purchased several books to help me. Without doubt the most comprehensive and well written book in my libary. Author takes nothing for granted with excellent pictures and explantion. Now to put the words into action. If it goes wrong it wont be the books fault.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb book. Interesting even if you're not interested!!!, 2 May 2005

By	"steve-e-boy" - See all my reviews

This is the sort of book that you would pick up even if you didn't know what it was about. A lovely cover with high quality paper and loads of really good quality colour photographs.

The content is easy to read and really interesting for someone like myself who just wanted to know something about the practicalities of using concrete as a decorative product.

The book does not contain huge amounts of text nor lots of technical detail (e.g. down to the chemical level). It does however give you all the detail and knowledge that you need to know to get you going. Cheng also includes plenty of practical hints and tips to help the beginner overcome some of the basic mistakes which may be offputting. If like me you didn't know anything about making concrete worktops, this book is ideal. If you do already know something about the subject, then it may still be worthwhile for a bit of inspiration.

Overall I found this book a really pleasant read with plenty of great pictures to back up the text. It would make a great coffee-table book as even the non-engineer will find the artistic side and innumerable photographs interesting.
