Granicrete
Bringing Beauty and Durability to the Surface
By D. Fran Morley
Gulf Coast Granicrete offers a new way to create the look of
stone, marble or granite, with an elegant and more durable surface
that is quick to install, environmentally safe, and affordable.
Rocky Williams, the locally certified distributor of Granicrete
International, notes that the product won the Most Innovative
Product Award at the World of Concrete in 2007 and has been
featured on various TV shows, including Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition, HGTV’s Designed to Sell, and others.
Granicrete is a polymer-modified concrete overlay, Williams
explained. “It is an engineered concrete intended to resurface nearly
any existing solid surface. It can be applied over concrete, laminate,
tile, granite, solid surfaces - just about any surface.”
The Granicrete systems can be used to create countertops, floors, 3-
D structures, and showers. “We can replicate the highest end natural
stones, including travertine, marble, or granite, or you can match it to
any color in your home,” Williams said, adding that the product is not a
“faux” surface. “It’s not just a painted surface that looks like marble. It
is a completely new and more durable surface.”
