All of our products will work in concrete. 

 

• Tumbled Glass & Hi-Tumbled glass ... The easiest product because you simply "seed" (toss/sprinkle) them over the top of your troweled concrete, re-trowel lightly to tamp them in, and you're done because they have no sharp edges.  Our GLOW Glass is safe for concrete retardants and muriatic acid uses and exposure.

• ​Chips, glass… These Chips are small enough that some pieces are more like shavings.  Seed this over the concrete easily because they’re such a light product.  A sealant is a good idea because they won’t actually be set into the concrete, but are more on top of it.  Choose high quality, non-yellowing sealants so it will not affect the light-absorbancy of your GLOW Stones.  Safe for a muriatic acid clean/scrub after the concrete dries.

• Plastic Stones in the Classic, Bead, Cobble, and River shapes. Safe for use in concrete, but not recommended for use with or around muriatic acids.

  • This may mar the surface and affect the ability to absorb light and then GLOW. Plastic Chips have a shorter lifespan, which should be considered when setting in concrete.

  • We have contractors who have successfully used retardants with the plastic GLOW Stones products, but we have not tried it ourselves. Use with caution and at your own risk! 

• The GLOW goes all the way through all our products, so you can grind all surfaces flat and level if you desire.

• In order to successfully grind your concrete to a smooth polished surface with a GLOW glass installation, be sure to install concrete at 3000 psi.

• Below is a video that demonstrates a recommended process for polishing concrete with an embedded glass aggregate.​
