In addition to the soap dish contract from Basil Read, we were asked to make windowsills for the Nurses’ Residence in Pretoria too. We made them in 2 different sizes, 600x195mm & 600x155mm, with the front long side a bullnose to allow for water run off. We have since started using them in domestic applications too. Please contact us to enquire about pricing, and remember we can make them in any of the standard 41 colours that we have! Please see the picture gallery below for photo's of the 2 different size windowsills.

We have completed a contract for Basil Read, making concrete soap dishes for a Nurses’ Residence in Pretoria. We had an order of over 500 to complete, which we did in 3 days.

The concern here was that because the ablutions would be used by many people often that they would break & need replacing before long. We manufactured a positive, got the moulds pulled & were soon casting concrete soap dishes! We can make these…

This week I decided to do a bit of DIY, and create a new garden path outside the showroom. This consisted of making 110x110 garden cobbles in Karoo 3 colour which created a border of sorts, and using 460x230mm pavers in Angola 9 colour which I had. To fill in the spaces between the pavers I used crushed stone which you can buy at most large hardware stores. I also planted a succulent which was just dying to be noticed into an old pot that was standing empty (see the pic below) and the idea is to eventually mosaic the…

I was asked recently to manufacture large grey tiles for a driveway area in Greenside. This was made possible because the area under the tiles was relatively flat & a concrete screed was laid to act as a surface bed for the tiles. The job came out really nicely, and the acrylic sealer which has been applied to the tiles will prevent any oil from soaking into the tiles. If a concrete screed is thrown beneath the tiles, any size tile would be suitable for a driveway, namely 230x230mm, 340x340mm & 230x460mm & 460x460mm. I would recommend the darker shade…

I have been making concrete hearts for some time now, but recently decided to put a few inspirational sayings onto them as I have done with my larger pavers.

Anything can be written onto them so if you have something special in mind for someone special please contact me to create a one of a kind gift! They measure 135x120mm & weigh approx 460 grams. They retail for R40 each & make lovely gifts for family & friends See the picture…
