A. Each piece within the CN collection is meticulously hand crafted in Burleigh Heads QLD by trained artisans from start to completion.
Concrete Nation has spent the last 10 years perfecting their high-performance concrete mix to maintain the natural look of concrete while infusing it with beautiful colours. Tinted oxide is added to the concrete mix so the colour runs through the product.
A. All Concrete Nation products go through a stringent sealing process, using several coats of a penetrative sealer which is absorbed into the concrete. A topical sealer is then applied to give it a smooth and silky finish.
A. The focus at Concrete Nation is to maintain the natural beauty of concrete. This includes colour movement/variation and the potential for small air pockets (also known as pitting) on the exterior of the product. Any air pockets on the interior of the product will always be filled in to achieve a smooth surface. Please note, we cannot guarantee that the product will or will not have air pockets, as each product is different.
A. All CN products should be cleaned using a mild non-abrasive cleanser. We love Koh Universal Cleaner but any multi-purpose cleanser will do the trick. Please refrain from using scour pads on the concrete, as it can scratch your basin and breakdown the sealer
Avoid exposure to products with high levels of PH such as bleach and nail polish remover as they can strip the sealer and will expose the concrete to staining.
