Countertop Issues & Solution (Porcelain Overlay)

What happens here

After the concrete has cured and the forms are removed, significant cracking and shrinkage are observed on the countertops, likely due to improper curing conditions (too hot). The team decides that the countertops are not salvageable as a finished surface in their current state. Instead of removing and re-pouring, they opt to install a porcelain tile overlay directly onto the existing concrete. This decision is made to salvage the project's timeline and budget while still achieving a durable and aesthetically pleasing countertop surface.

Goal: Address concrete cracking and implement a porcelain overlay solution.
