Jesmonite AC730: The Sustainable Micro-Concrete Redefining Craft, Design, and Architecture

Jesmonite AC730 isn’t just another casting material—it’s a micro-concrete revolutionizing both the craft and construction industries. With its stunning stone-like finish, durability, and eco-friendly composition, AC730 is bridging the gap between architectural applications and small-scale creative projects. 

What is Jesmonite AC730 Micro-Concrete?

AC730 is a water-based, rapid-setting micro-concrete that has been used worldwide in construction settings for nearly 40 years. With its lightweight properties and high strength, it has been a favorite among builders for decorative elements like columns, facades, and ornamental stone replacements. Unlike traditional concrete, AC730 is specially formulated to cure quickly—typically within 3-4 hours—while maintaining incredible surface detail, making it an excellent choice for both large-scale architectural pieces and intricate, small-scale designs. 

The Evolution of Micro-Concrete: From Construction to Design & Craft

Micro-concrete has long been valued in construction for its versatility and durability. Historically, it has been used for decorative facades, garden sculptures, and intricate architectural details where traditional concrete would be too bulky or slow to cure. As the design world increasingly embraces industrial-inspired materials, micro-concrete has surged in popularity beyond construction and into home decor, interior design, and DIY crafts. 

Crafters and designers have discovered that Jesmonite AC730 offers the perfect balance of strength and workability, allowing them to create everything from modern tabletops to sculptural home accessories. More recently, it has gained traction in custom-colored sinks, tub basins, and even skim-coating walls, proving its adaptability in both functional and aesthetic applications. Its natural, stone-like finish adds an artisanal and high-end feel to handmade pieces, making it a sought-after material for creators looking to offer something unique. 

What Crafters and Designers Love AC730

Whether you're a professional maker or a DIY enthusiast, AC730 offers several benefits that set it apart from other casting materials: 

The rise of minimalist and industrial aesthetics has led to an explosion of micro-concrete in interior design. From terrazzo-inspired furniture to sleek, monolithic vases, AC730 is at the forefront of this movement. Designers and creators are integrating the material into sinks, tub basins, skim-coated walls, lighting fixtures, planters, coasters, and even large-scale art pieces. Its natural stone texture adds a touch of luxury to handmade creations, making it a must-have material for modern makers.
