    The craftsmen did a great job and the result looked very cool. I never understand why I go into million dollar homes that all have the same tired granite counter tops and honed showers.

    I don't watch even cable TV anymore for the last 3 years or so due growing personal intolerance to adds...
    This is the ONLY product advertisement I not only watch, but I've subscribed to, even though I'm not even allowed to purchase your products

    Wow! That is amazing! It is so convincing as reclaimed wood but with the material properties of concrete and without needing to find and purchase distressed wood. This is very cool stuff.

    This is a great demo video. Aside from the fact that this is used in a bathroom, it demonstrates how the product is used and can be adapted.
    A job well done.

    I like your stand for pouring out of buckets. I was a gelcoat sprayer for almost 7 yrs. Poured uncountable mixes from pails and found the only mess came from other workers needing some gel for fillers or repairs. After pulling the little seal under the cap I would always pour with the spout orientated at the 12 o'clock position. You can get the bucket almost to 90° before it comes out. If you pour from a full pail into a mixing cup holding the spout at the bottom a little bit always dribbles out onto the lid. I always knew when somebody was in my booth. I stopped caring after about 5yrs cause I figured it out. You cant fix stupid.

    amazing indeed. Not just texturing, but i've had artistic and decorative ideas. Even with things like silicone decorative linings, 3D textured. I think there's a good market for it.

    Impressive surface guys. The complete lack of waterproofing, and bare plywood substrate made me want to cry though. Constriction glue?!?!? Are you kidding me? Hopefully no one is in there when one of those monsters finally peels off.

      i agree, I don't believe this is up to code. Definetly requires a steel mesh with mud.

  • @confiscator

    Impressive. I'm skeptical as to its time and $ value over sourcing and treating reclaimed wood, but I guess if you had a ton of orders it would make sense.

  • @taylorlangan6712
    @taylorlangan6712 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can it be cleaned like a normal shower? And what is the life expectancy on the water resistant coating? Will it ever need to be recoated?

    • @smoothon
      @smoothon  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For regular cleaning, abrasives should be avoided, but other traditional non-abrasive cleaners like Clorox, Mr Clean, etc, would be fine. As for maintenance, the sealer would not need to be reapplied, but an annual coating of paste wax would be beneficial…carnauba wax will work.

      Hello Sam, Thank you for your interest in our materials. All of the detail that you are seeing came from the original model. In the attached link it will show you how to make a mold, and how the material picks up the detail from the model. th-cam.com/video/8HyVCVfZ_g8/w-d-xo.html

    I find it better to mix the white Portland cement into the liquids before adding sand. Otherwise we end up with cement clumps.

    too Jonesy for Me, first spaces allow for mold and pest to hide and cement absorbs cold like a magnet and will freeze up the Water lines. pressure treated lumber and Polyester and galvanized tin and fiberglass Is the way to go. I use a Ice shelter as a shower room and soon hope to get a Clam Insulated Ice shelter which should be even warmer. cement Is good for a Summer time shower room but Not Winter.

    • @Studio-62
      @Studio-62 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +lewandlo I have a porcelain tile shower and all I ever do is squeegee after the shower and it never gets dirty. It's 4 years old and still pristine, except the grout, which is slightly discoloured but can also be cleaned. I am about to do a concrete shower in my basement. I imagine with all the detail in those panels some stuff can collect in the nooks and crannies. I think if it is rinsed it off after the shower and it's cleaned with a little dish soap and a soft brush every few months it should stay clean. I'm pretty sure it can be re-sealed as well.
