introducing our cube table

So, we've been playing with shapes and colors again.  Our newest addition to MODE CONCRETE is this Cube Table in Kalmalka Blue.  They look amazing with our Dream Lounger, or as shown here, they carry quite the impact inside the home as well.

 And here we were playing with our newest color - Kalmalka Blue and we were wondering how it would look like on our Dream Lounger.  We love how this vibrant the color is, and it is the same exact beautiful teal/aqua color the most beautiful lake in the Okangan is, Kalmalka Lake.  Would look stunning on your dock, your private beach, around a pool, or in your garden.  Remember they also create a gorgeous lounge chair inside the home as well.

A close up of our Kalmalka Blue concrete products.  We offer lots of colors, finishes, additives and everything is totally customizable.  Please contact us for more information.

introducing our DREAM LOUNGER

introducing our dream lounger, comfortable and hip—our lounger looks great everywhere.  And at nearly 400 lbs it’s not going anywhere, the tide surely won’t wash this away.  It looks amazing beachfront, on your dock or poolside.  Around a fire or in a garden, the dream lounger even looks stunning inside the home with cushions on top.  This modern lounger is as lounge worthy as it is stylish looking.  Ergonomically designed, we promise you won’t want to move once you sit in this lounger.

All of our creations are made in the Okanagan Valley by skilled craftsmen.

concrete furniture

Just a quick update - MODE CONCRETE is in the process of designing and creating concrete furniture (think super posh beach loungers, minimalistic, modern) and other concrete items for your garden or beach.  Stay tuned, we should have pictures posted in the next few weeks.

We get constant inspiration, from the beauty of where we live in the Okanagan - we had to share what our backyard looks like!

Stay tuned, we are going to be developing some really exciting, modern products this summer!!

who chooses concrete?

• Concrete is totally customizable.  From the color, to the rocks or recycled glass that is added, to the amount of exposed stone in your concrete project - it is totally flexible depending on what the customer wants or the look they are trying to achieve.  These personalized options are usually unavailable or limited in other countertop or tiles options.
• Some things that customers should consider when deciding what kind of concrete they should get for their project:
• do you want a unique look, a modern look, or something more traditional?
• do you want a natural stone like finish, or a glossy or shiny finish
• Concrete can be made to look like anything you can imagine.
• Concrete has come a long way recently, and it is a goregous, hip, and you can customize it to your taste or style.
• If you choose a good concrete contractor, your concrete should not warp, stain, or crack.  Sometimes you'll hear horror stories about concrete, and most of them are probably true, but all of those horror stories shouldn't happen to you if you choose a reputable concrete contractor.   
• MODE CONCRETE products are:
• Easy to clean. When poured correctly, concrete has very little porosity, which makes it extremely easy to clean.
• Don't stain. If you choose a good concrete contractor, he or she will use a sealer and finishing process that guarantees the concrete won't stain.
• Don't crack. Typically, concrete is prone to cracking. But if you choose a good concrete contractor, he or she can guarantee your concrete countertop won't crack.
• Come in a wide variety of colors. Concrete countertops can be made in any color your wish. Typically, a concrete contractor offers a set of standard colors. If you don't see one you like, ask to have a color custom made.
• Can be formed into any shape. Because concrete is poured, concrete countertops can be formed into any shape you can imagine.
• Easy to Repair. If you accidentally chip your concrete countertop, it's easy to repair. A good concrete contractor will save your mix design, which is the information regarding the materials used to create your concrete countertop. With that mix design, the concrete contractor can reproduce the finish he initially used on your countertop. While you may still be able to notice where the repair was made, your guests won't.
• Feel amazing. It might be the most shocking concrete countertop benefit, and it's completely true. Concrete feels amazingly soft and smooth to the touch. Once you run your hand across it once, you won't be able to stop.
• Concrete is a great option, but if you choose to go ahead with concrete, research the company you are planning on using and make sure they have a good reputation.  MODE services the Okanagan Valley and Interior BC, but there are lots of great concrete companies, just make sure you do your research.

terrazzo concrete countertops

MODE CONCRETE also specializes in terrazzo concrete countertops, fully customizable to your color preferences.  We can use any color concrete and add any color of recycled glass that you choose.  We can even add glow rocks to your countertop or concrete tiles, creating a starry atmosphere when you turn the lights out.  The best thing about concrete - it is totally up to you what you colors and rocks are exposed, our craftsmen can adjust the entire project to whatever you desire.

Here are few choices of colored glass from one of our suppliers.
