CEI's cement is a specially formulated proprietary mix. It is the product of years of experimentation and real-world application in hundreds of homes and businesses. We are so confident of the quality of our work and the integrity of our cmaterials that we warrant our surfaces against cracking under normal use for one-year.

CEI has developed its own line of finishes and sealers that protect your cement surface from chemicals that will normally stain unprotected cement. Household cleaners, coffee, tea, grape and tomato juice and even household chemicals damage or won't penetrate our sealer.

Cement Elegance surfaces are poured in one complete piece. There are no seams or gaps, no discoloration at seam lines, no un-true level surfaces due to improper installation or settling of separate pieces. A Cement Elegance surface will always provide a beautiful, uniform surface that is unbroken and perfectly level, and molds itself to existing elements such as backsplashes, walls and fixtures.

Cement Elegance Inc is so confident of our product that we will warrant our surfaces against cracking within one-year of its installation. If our surfaces crack within this time period due to failure of the material under normal use, we will repair it at our cost.

Cement Elegance can achieve an almost unlimited variety of colors or patterns for your cement surface. Colors can be included integrally within the cement itself to achieve a solid color to your desires. We can also use a variety of troweling techniques to achieve create or accentuate natural patterning within the cement itself. We can also use colorwashing techniques to create unique and desirable patterns, designs or textures to a client's specifications.

Our special cement formulations will seek a true level surface. This is a major advantage to pre-fabricated countertops that may have to be shimmed to correct for out-of-level cabinetry. No matter what thevariation in level of a cabinet or supporting structure, CEI surfaces will always create a true, level surface.

Most cement countertops are poured to 1½î to 2î inches thick. A Cement Elegance countertop is normally only one-half-inch thick over the substrate.

The weight of our countertops is half that of our competitors. This reduces the chance of abnormal settling of cabinetry which can crack a countertop.

Cabinets and other supporting structures do not require extra reinforcement to support the weight of our countertops.

The thinner surface are flexible andless prone to cracking. Less material means it is not subjected to the forces created by thicker, heavier countertops.
Self-Leveling

Shrinkage is one of the leading causes of cracking in a cement surface. CEI's cement mixture requires a minimal water-to-cement ratio. This reduces the amount of evaporation and shrinkage during the cement's cure time. This significant reduction in shrinkage helps to eliminate the occurrence of cracking in our surfaces.
