Concrete isn’t just for sidewalks anymore. High-end concrete is making itself known indoors these days with outstanding, lasting and unforgettable results. One of Canada’s most talented concrete designers is Charles (Chuck) Fournier, owner of Creative Concrete Industries, located in Elizabethtown-Kitley Township. “I love what I do because I get to build something new and one-of-a-kind every day,” says Chuck of his creations, many of which are on a grand scale. For example, he has created a triple island kitchen counter with three waterfalls along with many other functional pieces you have to see to believe, such as hearths, sinks and showers. Two major commercial projects, identifiable by many for their uniqueness, are bar and table surfaces at 1000 Islands Brewing Company, in Brockville’s downtown core, and the Rabbit Hole on Ottawa’s Sparks Street.
