Award-Winning, Food-Safe Countertop Systems
The iCoat award-winning Countertop System is our most popular product and usually catches the eye and excitement of anyone who experiences the unbelievable resemblance to expensive White, Stone and Granite.

iCoat has emerged as the leader in decorative concrete countertop technology. iCoat not only invented the concrete resurfacing technology for countertops back in 2004 but has continually improved it as advances in concrete additives and colorants have become commercially available.
Increase Your Home’s Value – Here’s How it Works
This product is made of very thin layers of concrete that go directly over ugly Formica, Laminate, Tile, Wood, and traditional concrete. The topcoat is a 2 part Epoxy that self-levels and has additives for scratch resistance and scorch proof. Of course, if you wanted to build a new countertop you can use MDF or a water-resistant fiberboard call MDX or Medex as your substrate.
iCoat Countertop systems have been used both in commercial and residential applications with great success. They are a great choice for bathroom vanities, kitchen counters, tabletops, and even outdoor kitchens. iCoat countertop products can be made to replicate nearly any type of stone or granite, concrete, or even wood.
The iCoat Countertop System is an easy 4-step process that any tradesman, handyman, or DIY enthusiast can do.

We provide a simple 4-step process to upgrade your old countertops to make them beautiful.
PREP
We are looking to work on a clean and sound substrate. Clean off the existing countertops and remove any caulking. If there is anything damaged on the surface, fix that first. Sink removal is optional, and this is a great moment to replace an old sink and fixtures. The area is masked off to protect the cabinets and other kitchen appliances, and craft paper is taped all around the floor. Make sure to do a great job prepping your work area; it will save a lot of unnecessary cleanup later.
PRIME
A thin layer of Countertop Composite cement is brushed on as a primer in preparation for a second, slightly thicker concrete coat that may be molded and texturized. Make sure to cover the backsplashes, edges, and the sink cutout. This concrete dries fast and creates a flat surface. Stone lightly to knock off any excess peaks, and then the dust is removed. Now you can prime the entire surface with iCoat Metal Illusion Primer in either Black or White as a base coat primer.
COLOR
Each kit includes the colors you see in the sample. Color can be added in a variety of ways to get your desired effect. You can color directly onto the primed surface or include color into the epoxy topcoat. Color can be brushed, dabbed, rolled, or sprayed onto the surface. (Use quality tools every time.)
SEAL
If the color is not going to be included in the iCoat Countertop Epoxy topcoat, it is time to add the durable epoxy finish. It is added liberally across the top surfaces and smoothed over the entire surface and down the edges with a plastic knife, finished with an edge brush. Epoxy self-levels. Brush epoxy onto the edges and let the excess drip onto your prep paper. Lightly torch the epoxy to release any small bubbles and to get the surface to sparkle.
To work in color with the epoxy topcoat, add the vein colors with a knife, spray, or drip, and work in with a chip brush to blend areas for the desired effect.
iCoat offers the ability to match any gloss reflection scale with iCoat Honing Oil to make the look to the desired customer’s request.
Once all paper is removed and the kitchen hardware and sink are in place, the customer gets to see their new kitchen in all its iCoat countertop systems glory, all in about 48 hours.
