Wow that looks so goood, and looks easier and achievable than I expected! I’d love to see how you made and attached the box-gutter, even a more detailed sketch would be amazing, if you have the time! Good job, and thanks for sharing!👏🏼😃⚜️
I LOVE THIS! but... If this is a bathroom sink, wouldn't the box gutter collect so much shaving cream, soap, hair, toothpaste, etc? And get smelly and full of bacteria? How can you get in there and clean?
I tried googling for the proper name of this type of design, and as best as I can tell it's called a "ramp sink". Sometimes they're called "infinity sinks", but the problem is there are also other types of "infinity sinks" that don't have a ramp, but instead they're flat and have an overflow surrounding the entire sink, or sometimes they only *look* flat but there's an almost imperceptible gradient down to the backsplash, and a hidden overflow. Anyway, I'd love to try this. I'm currently learning about tadelakt plastering, so I'd like to try incorporating this design with that plastering technique.
I so want a client to ask for microcement in their bathroom, but it’s just not popular enough and it’s hard to push a client to do something just cause I want to experiment. But I’ll follow your steps if I do. Could you make a pdf of the specs for the sink and attach it in the notes?
@@antoniablunt5866 Hey Antonia! Thank you. It's holding up really well. Still looks great. Think I may re-seal the water plane again in the next few months. If I were to build another one, I'd just be sure to do 3 - 4 really good coats of sealer where the water hits the sink.
@@FraserandCoDesigns I often try to push clients in a direction that I would like to try out haha. If I find some time, I'll put the specs in a pdf and I'll let you know.
It was a product that came from the supplier that sold us the microcement. Who are you purchasing your microcement from? They should have a product they recommend.
I live in Malaysia and it is pretty limited here, the one that i can find only is microcement lotos plaster skim. It say how to prepare the micro but in area high humidity they just recommend to apply additional protective coating, nothing specific. Can i use a cement sealer on microcement?
Literally using this to make our own! You didn't mention which sealers you used. I'm getting a bit lost and confused with all the different brands. Which ones did you use ?
Hey dude, Just about to start renovating my gaff after i got flooded by my upstairs neighbour, fellow chippy but just wondering what solvent based sealer you used at the end? Was it a 2 pack polyurethane? Many thanks and great job mate, looks ace!
Cheers Matt. It wasn’t a 2 pack poly. I’m actually not sure of the brand. I got it from the same place I purchased the microcement from. Maybe ask your supplier what they recommend?
Ah sweet you’re a legend, thanks for the speedy reply, I didn’t know if you’d randomly used one you had in the typical chippys hoard of materials, I’ll give my supplier a buzz in the morning. Take care bud
Hey Steve, sorry for the late reply mate. You can get a bottle cleaner down there to give it a clean. Next time I'd probably make the catchment area as small as possible to reduce water sitting but so far it been pretty good. Sealers are from the Venetian plaster gallery in Sydney.
Hey! Thanks. I’d probably recommend using a small strip drain over the box I used for drainage. Something with a pop out grate that is easier to clean from above.
This is awesome thanks so much for the effort in showing the whole process - one question - how do you catch things like jewellery or like cotton tips from the trap?
Awesome video, i want to do the kitchen counter top and if succeed at that. I might do the bathroom walls. How is it holding up so far and how do you maintain the microcement surfaces?
The majority of it is holding up very well. However the bathroom floor is getting some scratches and it does show dirt quite easily which can be annoying when you have 2 young boys 😆 The bathroom walls are great, basically no maintenance. If I were going again, I'd tile the floor, microcement the walls. 👌
@viking.designs Thank you for your reply. I was already thinking of tiling the floor, but now i know for sure. Your video's are from high quality and a pleasure to watch
