Two new applications for slip-cast countertops
We just got photos back from a couple more early slip-cast countertop projects. Time for Show and Tell!
This first job was very simple, a straightforward seven foot long slab of cast zinc to be used as the front bar in a basement den. This was the very first slip-cast counter we sold, and it looks beautiful! The homeowners had actually already ordered a top bar from their granite manufacturer, which they cancelled after seeing our samples and hearing the story of the process — hows that for a great client satisfaction story?
While our bar was fairly simple, we think that it integrated perfectly into the surroundings. We didn’t do the installation, so these photos were the first we actually saw of the completed room. The barrel stave stools and pendant lighting from Napa Style really help bring everything together, too. Beautiful use of metal as an accent material.

This second counter, which I just photographed yesterday during installation, is a little bit more complicated. We templated and built a two-level bar to fit cabinetry in a wet bar in Bryn Mar, PA. The counter is gorgeous; we used an edge mold which basically matched the cabinetry trim, and took it from there.
Included was a zinc overlay treatment we cast over an Elkay top-mount bar sink.
Oak leaves and pearls. A brushed nickel faucet contrasts nicely with the smooth polish zinc counter.
