FAQs

What material is the plinth made from?

The plinth is made from quality and durable concrete, hand-cast and finished.

What is the weight of the plinth?

The plinth weighs 58 kg.

Can this plinth be used outdoors?

Yes, it is made from durable stone and robustly constructed, making it suitable for garden use. However, like all outdoor items, prolonged exposure to extreme weather might affect its appearance over time.

What kind of sculptures is this plinth best suited for?

It is particularly suited for heavy statuary, classic figures, and gentle woman sculptures due to its size, weight, and classic design.

How should I clean the plinth?

Clean the plinth with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the hand-finished appearance.

Is the grey color consistent across all plinths?

Each plinth is hand-finished to give a unique, perfectly aged appearance, so there may be slight variations in the exact shade and finish.

What are the dimensions of the plinth?

The plinth has a height of 50 cm and a width and length of 33 cm.

Troubleshooting

Plinth appears uneven on placement.

Ensure the ground or surface where the plinth is placed is level and stable. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by placing shims beneath the plinth if the surface is slightly uneven.

Surface scuff marks after cleaning.

Use only a damp, soft cloth for cleaning. If scuff marks persist, try a very mild, diluted soap solution, and rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

Difficulty moving the plinth.

This is due to the plinth's intended stability. It is designed to be heavy. Use appropriate lifting techniques or enlist the help of another person when moving it. Avoid dragging it across surfaces to prevent damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a stable and secure base for heavy statues.
  • Elegant, classic design complements traditional decor and sculptures.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in both indoor and outdoor settings.
  • Hand-finished aesthetic offers a unique, aged appearance.
  • Sustainably manufactured in the UK.

Cons

  • Significant weight (58 kg) makes it difficult to move once placed.
  • Specific classic design may not suit modern minimalist aesthetics.
  • Concrete material, while durable, can be susceptible to chipping if mishandled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Due to its weight, careful consideration should be given to the final placement of the plinth before positioning any statuary. It is recommended to have assistance when moving the plinth to its desired location to avoid injury or damage to surfaces.

Compatibility:

This plinth is highly compatible with heavy statuary, classic figures, and gentle woman sculptures. Its broad, stable top surface accommodates a wide range of base sizes for ornaments.

Care:

Clean the plinth with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which could damage the hand-finished surface. For outdoor use, while durable, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may eventually affect the appearance; consider occasional cleaning and protection if necessary.
