Stone furniture is the ideal way to keep your exterior landscape in tune with Mother Nature. As a patio decoration or focal point in your garden with a practical purpose, stone benches are the natural way to create a fantastic environment to entertain and enjoy your garden.
Natural Stone benches can be manufactured in the UK using either Sandstone (Buff and Blue/Grey predominantly) or Limestone (Purbeck or Derbyshire Grey). <a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.stonecreation.co.uk/stone-furniture-ornaments-and-features/benches-and-furniture/silvergrey-granite-curved-bench”>Granite Stone Benches</a> are fantastic garden features which are imported from overseas. These are mainly available in the most prominent Granite colour – Silver/Grey.
<a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.stonecreation.co.uk/stone-furniture-ornaments-and-features/benches-and-furniture”>Stone Benches</a>can be hand carved which gives them an elegant, stunning appearance or broken naturally from the quarry, with rough edges keeping there natural charm in tact. Hand carved benches can have superbly detailed scrolled feet, whereas for a natural bench top we would recommend rockery stone feet.
Hand-cast, reconstituted stone is another option worth considering when deciding on the right stone bench for your garden. These pieces are made from a reconstituted limestone material and are available in a range of colours and styles, ranging from classic to contemporary. As these products are made from mouldings they lack the unique quality of natural stone benches, but are often more cost effective.
Stone benches are very popular as commemorative pieces, it is possible to have anything engraved / chiselled onto the face of the bench, giving the piece the ability to distinguish a person, event or location for hundreds of years.
It also possible to purchase table and stool sets with reconstituted stone tops. Whichever option you decide on Stone Furniture is a fantastic way to enhance your exterior environment.
