Contemporary Concrete Kitchen with Waterfall Countertop - made by MODE CONCRETE in BC

This is a renovated kitchen that we recently worked on. This countertop was overextended and a waterfall edge was added. Waterfall edges are great because they finish off the end of the kitchen cabinetry nicely, while providing extra livable space with the bar edge. 


Waterfall counters (also known as risers) have been THE trend in kitchens all over the world lately, both for their stylistic appeal and long-term durability when compared to other materials. When extended to the floor this countertop instantly looks more modern, clean and high-end.  The concrete surfaces that we create are incredibly durable, waterproof and easy to keep clean and germ free. All of our concrete is top quality and built to last for years!  


MODE CONCRETE specializes in creating custom concrete countertops and we can customize the concrete in a multitude of ways, to perfectly fit within your space.  As for cleaning and maintaining, like most countertops, a mild soap and a cloth are all that should be used for routine cleanup. Be sure to avoid harsh cleansers or anything abrasive.


We also can assist you refinishing or maintaining your existing concrete countertop, concrete floors and any decorative concrete surface.  Contact us today for details on any of the services discussed in this blog.

Modern Contemporary Concrete Kitchen with Waterfall Countertop - made in Kelowna BC Canada, by MODE CONCRETE

Ultra Cool and Modern Concrete Kitchen Countertops - made locally in the Okanagan by Mode Concrete

Mode Concrete loves to use bold colors to punctuate raw concrete.  We thought this bright oriental orange would be a lovely contrast against the grey bare concrete. Color blocking is a great way to punch up architectural angles or just add some personality to raw concrete elements.  We also overextended the surface of the countertop, added a waterfall edge and voila... we were able to create this breakfast bar and make some extra livable space in this kitchen.  



This modern, double farm-style, apron concrete sink is massive in size and has a built-in draining board.  Rustic, durable, modern and superb functionality.  All of our concrete is top quality and built to last for years!  


We also created the concrete backsplash out of long thin concrete tiles.  We hand stained and painted these long tiles and then applied to wall (application is similar to tile). We wanted to combine the elements of both concrete and wood, and imprinted the long concrete tiles with wood grain.  The concrete surface that goes from the countertop up to the cupboards is incredibly durable, waterproof and all of our treated concrete surfaces are easy to keep clean and germ free.


Waterfall counters (also known as risers) have been THE trend in kitchens all over the world lately, both for their stylistic appeal and long-term durability when compared to other materials. When extended to the floor this countertop instantly looks more modern, clean and high-end.  We love the look of this waterfall edge and created a plank form looking waterfall edge to match the backsplash and countertop elements.

Concrete Countertops can Refresh any Kitchen

Fall in love with your kitchen again, give it a refresher and add some new concrete countertops, like one of our latest clients.  



It's easy to fall in love with the look of a top-quality concrete countertop, you'll be addicted to running your hand over the super smooth, polished surface. It's unique, customized, and, over time, likely to age into a warm patina - we like to think of it as gaining character with age.  Concrete embraces age and evolves with time.  Make sure your contractor is using top quality products and sealers, to ensure you concrete looks great for years and is easy to maintain.



In the hands of a skilled and experienced craftsman, there is practically no shape, color or finish it can't transform into.  This is another concrete sample, though the addition of glass aggregate gives it the appearance of terrazzo. Because all concrete counters are one-of-a-kind, adding different colored glass or stone to the mix while it's being made can be just the thing if there are specific colors you'd like to integrate into your custom design.  You imagination is our creation, unlimited possibilities to suit your style.
