Unique Product Characteristics

Product Information
|
- Benzini sandstone and concrete products are hand-made using traditional craftsmanship
techniques and natural materials. As a result variations, which may affect surface
texture, colour and thickness can occur.
- Sandstone ornamental pieces and Mediterranean paving range are dry-cast. This refers
to the aggregate mix being a very low water level making the product stronger. The
dry-mix is then rammed or compressed into moulds. The Atlantic stone paver range
is wet-cast using low levels of water:cement ratio to maintain strength.
- Many Benzini pieces are steel reinforced to give them added strength e.g. pots,
urns pedestals. Water feature pieces use galvanised steel reinforcing.
- All of our urns, planters and water feature bowls are internally sealed ready for
planting or water feature use before delivery.
- Benzini products are manufactured at Nerang on the Gold Coast using locally sourced
aggregates, sandstone and natural pigments.
