In this episode, Seth interviews Simon Tippel from Phoenix Concrete Works. Simon specializes in decorative concrete, including countertops, fire bowls, wall claddings, and more. They discuss the advantages
of concrete countertops over other materials, such as customization and flexibility.
Simon also explains the different reinforcement and
technologies used in his work, including glass fiber and post-tensioning. They touch on the importance of precast vs. cast-in-place methods and the various sealers and coatings used to protect concrete countertops.
