GFRC is the perfect non-combustible, sustainable and minimal choice for multiple fireplace surround options. Our clients also have the ability to choose from our selection of beautiful standard concrete colour-ways, or can provide us with a paint chip and we can custom match for you to any colour.

Hatch Design Studio has worked with many different clients over the years and can offer our design and construction expertise to see your plans from concept stage all the way through to installation. Rather than having to organise multiple trades, Hatch Design Studio can organise all the trades involved (including licensed fireplace installation!), minimising the complicated logistics and cost that can be involved with building custom fireplace walls.

We can ensure your design will be appropriately project managed and be designed to pass the appropriate building regulations and fireplace model installation requirements..

We currently offer installations within a 120km radius of Inverloch. Contact us if you are further afield.

Here‘s what to love about our GFRC benchtops;

  • Using GFRC over traditional concrete (which is poured in-situ) - means we are able to pour off-site into custom formwork (based on joinery templates provided by cabinet makers) and install once the pieces have been through all their various stages of stripping, filling, sanding, and sealing. This ensures an efficient and seamless manufacture and installation process for the client - and no nightmare situations that are often the case with traditional concrete pours which occur on site

  • A super refined, matte, minimal, consistent finish that will outlast other benchtop trends

  • Organic in nature

  • We use a robust, food-grade, UV-resistant penetrative sealer that will withstand the test of time

  • Our product has been utilised, and tried and tested extensively over many years in the United States

  • Endless colour-way options (we can basically match our concrete to any paint or joinery chip provided, which means the options are endless for our clients!)

  • Square or rounded edge profiles

  • We are able to achieve slimmer profiles than conventional aggregate concrete (20-25mm min depending on the context and functionality of the piece)

  • Formwork can be made up in all kinds of exciting and challenging ways which simply cannot be achieved by relying on other more conventional materials

  • Tailored to Top mounted or Undermount sink options

  • Custom lengths and widths

  • We are able to create large-scale pieces without the need to have joins or unsightly bookmarks (as in the case of natural, engineered stone or other benchtop options)

  • We provide free samples to architects, designers, builders and specifiers. If you are in the design or construction industry and would like to know more about our products, or acquire samples - please get in touch! For homeowners, we can also send out colour samples from our standard colour range at a small fee to cover our costs - this can be credited towards any projects that go ahead. Custom colour-way samples are only provided for approved projects.
