Considered Craftsmanship
Concrete Studio basins are made from Glass-Fibre Reinforced Concrete. This remarkable material boasts impressive strength and durability, while remaining relatively lightweight and easier to handle and install.
From mould-making to polishing and sealing: the hand-made concrete from our factory involves eight steps. We treat each step as importantly as the last to ensure the end product is as close to perfect as concrete will allow.
Our bathware is manufactured using a virtually zero waste process, which sets it apart from mass-produced alternatives that rely on non-recyclable materials and resource-intensive methods.
Concrete Studio FAQs
Are the concrete items very heavy?
All of Concrete Studio items are made from either GFRC or UHPC concrete (see separate questions lower down).
These advanced materials allow us to make concrete much thinner than traditional concrete, usually 12 to 30mm thick.
This keeps the weight right down. Our integrated tops are a similar weight to high quality ceramic.
Our vessel basins weight 8kg to 15kg.
Will my cabinets be strong enough?
Yes. All good quality cabinets are suitable for our vessel basins and integrated vanity tops. This includes correctly assembled cabinets from Ikea.
For ‘floating’ wall mounted cabinets ensure you use appropriate fixings and adhesive behind the cabinet.
Once the cabinet is in place simply place the vessel basin or integrated vanity onto it and glue into place with a small amount of adhesive.
All of our integrated tops can be wall mounted onto cabinets, frames or brackets.
What do you mean by GFRC and UHPC?
Concrete Studio uses two advanced materials known as glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) and ultra high performance concrete (UHPC).
These are made from sand (42%), cement (42%), water (10%) and 6% additives and reinforcements. It’s these additives that bring the superior properties of our mix..
No steel is used in any of our concrete; we reinforce using natural basalt fibres or glass fibres.
How strong and chip resistant is the concrete?
Concrete Studio products have a similar impact resistance as high quality granite and a higher overall strength than steel reinforced concrete.
The durability of our concrete is why our bathroom-ware and street furniture can be found in so many shopping centres and public spaces around Australia.

Will my product stain?
Our products sealed with CS Active Low VOC sealer and is considered to have class leading stain, acid and scratch resistance.
Sealer guarantees are sold subject to terms of use.
Is resealing required?
Resealing is generally not required with either of our sealers provided the care and use guidelines are followed.
We consider concrete that requires resealing to have not been sealed fully to begin with, and our sealers stand apart from others for this reason.
Designers, specifiers and builders regularly return to us because our unique sealer means trouble-free installations and satisfied clients.
Are products repairable?
Yes, we sell resin repair kits in the unlikely event that you chip a piece of concrete.
Can you seal/repair a basin or table I bought from someone else?
Many high street bought tables are delivered unsealed or with chipped corners. In some cases – and if you are able to bring the item(s) to us – we may be able to help you. Please get in touch prior to coming to the factory.
If you have bought a concrete basin from elsewhere and find the sealer is flaking off (often around the 18 month mark) we may be able to send you a sealer kit.
Do you import your materials?
The majority of our raw materials are sourced from Western Australia. We only import materials – whether from interstate or overseas – if there is no viable local alternative.
