Durability

Durability and warranty

Durability does not depend on the surface alone. It depends on the whole system hidden beneath the finish.

Technology

How we build objects that last for years

We build artificial rockwork, sculptures and themed façades as a complete system, not as surface decoration. Every layer is chosen for loads, weather, water contact and intensity of use.

Outdoor rockwork, façades, waterside features and interior scenery call for different technical decisions. We do not apply one system to everything.

  1. Load-bearing structuresteel or concrete
  2. Lightweight coreEPS / XPS where weight matters
  3. Reinforced layersmeshes and composites
  4. Sculpted surfacehand-shaped architectural concrete
  5. Colour and patinascenic painting
  6. Protectionsealers and exterior coatings

The system depends on the project: outdoor, waterside and interior work use different layers.

Warranty

We provide a warranty on completed work within the agreed scope. The warranty period and terms depend on the type of project, materials, location, exposure, technical specification and contract.

Maintenance

We build durable, low-maintenance systems, but we are honest that no outdoor feature is entirely maintenance-free. We help plan inspections and carry out repairs.

Questions

Materials, maintenance, warranty

What materials do you use?

We select materials to suit the project's requirements, location, exposure and expected durability. Depending on the project, these include reinforced concrete systems, cement-based sculptural layers, EPS/XPS cores, steel reinforcement or mesh, waterproofing, mineral coatings, impregnating sealers, paints and patinas. There is no single universal system for every project.

Are outdoor features maintenance-free?

No outdoor artistic or building element can honestly be described as entirely maintenance-free. We build durable, low-maintenance systems, but long-term durability also depends on proper use, drainage, waterproofing, site conditions, inspections, cleaning and protection from damage.

Do you provide a warranty?

Yes. We provide a warranty on completed work within the agreed scope. The warranty period and terms depend on the type of project, materials, location, exposure, technical specification and contract. The warranty does not cover, among other things, damage resulting from structural movement of existing buildings, moisture from unrelated building defects, vandalism, mechanical damage, improper use, lack of maintenance or alterations made by others.
