HPC Terrazzo concrete bench BS-195 | Urban Premium Collection

HPC Terrazzo Concrete Bench without Backrest BS-195 | Urban Premium Collection

Expressive architectural form, the refined aesthetics of polished natural stone and high-performance HPC concrete – BS-195 from the Urban Premium Collection is a modern Terrazzo concrete bench without backrest, designed to enhance contemporary urban, public and landscape spaces.

BS-195 is a contemporary HPC Terrazzo concrete bench without backrest, combining minimalist aesthetics with a strong and durable structure. Its distinctive form gives the bench an architectural character, transforming it from a functional seating solution into a striking design element for modern outdoor environments.

The bench is manufactured from High Performance Concrete (HPC) – premium-quality fibre-reinforced concrete characterised by excellent structural strength, stability and resistance to intensive use. These properties make BS-195 a reliable choice for long-term street furniture, urban design and landscape architecture projects.

The distinctive HPC Terrazzo concrete structure is created using carefully selected natural marble or granite aggregates of defined sizes. Natural stone particles in different colours can be combined to create a wide range of terrazzo colour variations. This allows BS-195 to be coordinated with the architecture, façades, paving, landscaping and overall colour concept of each individual project.

The entire concrete surface is carefully ground and polished. The polishing process reveals the natural structure and beauty of the marble or granite aggregates, creating an elegant, smooth and premium-quality terrazzo finish. Natural variations in stone colour and texture can give each BS-195 bench a subtle individual character.

The polished HPC concrete is additionally treated with a special protective coating that improves resistance to demanding weather conditions. This protective treatment helps reduce dirt accumulation, simplifies maintenance and enhances the hydrophobic properties of the concrete, contributing to the long-term appearance and performance of the bench.

The backless design of BS-195 provides greater flexibility when planning public and private outdoor spaces. The bench can be installed as a standalone architectural feature, arranged together with multiple seating elements or combined with other products from the Urban Premium Collection to create a coordinated urban environment.

Its expressive design allows BS-195 to become an element that defines and enhances the character of an outdoor space. The combination of monumental concrete, natural stone texture and clean geometric lines works particularly well with contemporary architecture and modern urban landscape projects.

BS-195 is ideally suited for parks, urban squares, plazas, promenades, pedestrian zones, business centres, commercial areas, residential developments, hotels, contemporary architectural and landscape projects, as well as other public and private outdoor spaces.

The BS-195 HPC Terrazzo concrete bench combines functionality, durability and distinctive contemporary design. Polished HPC concrete, natural marble or granite aggregates, customisable colour combinations and protective surface treatment make this model an exceptional outdoor concrete bench and modern street furniture element.

HPC Terrazzo Concrete Technology:

• High Performance Concrete (HPC) is a fibre-reinforced architectural concrete manufactured using high-quality grey or white Portland cement, natural marble or granite aggregates, and carefully selected mineral materials. This advanced concrete technology provides exceptional structural strength, long-term durability, and outstanding resistance to intensive daily use.
• The distinctive terrazzo structure is created by integrating multi-coloured natural marble or granite aggregates throughout the entire concrete mass. The stone aggregates are not glued or applied to the surface but become an integral part of the product, ensuring an authentic terrazzo appearance and lasting performance.
• After production, the surface is carefully ground and polished to expose the natural stone aggregates, creating a seamless terrazzo finish distinguished by its refined aesthetics, natural stone texture, and excellent wear resistance.
• Depending on the product model, the surface may also be finished using Embossed Aggregate technology. This treatment enhances the natural texture of the marble or granite aggregates, adding depth, character, and a distinctive architectural appearance.
• All surfaces are additionally protected with a hydrophobic impregnating treatment and protective lacquer, reducing water absorption, limiting dirt accumulation, and improving resistance to UV radiation, corrosion, frost, and other harsh environmental conditions.
• Thanks to the fibre-reinforced HPC technology, the products offer outstanding resistance to mechanical damage, freeze–thaw cycles, weathering, and vandalism, making them ideal for intensively used public spaces as well as private outdoor environments.
• HPC terrazzo concrete is fully recyclable, as its production process does not involve resins or polymer-based adhesives. Manufactured from natural mineral materials, it meets modern requirements for sustainability, durability, and responsible architectural design.

Terrazzo – premium-quality decorative surface made from marble and granite aggregates

Terrazzo is a luxurious, long-lasting and high-quality composite stone material made from marble, granite, quartz or other natural stone aggregates, bound with cement or epoxy. Due to its high content of decorative stone, Terrazzo delivers unique aesthetics and superior technical performance that clearly surpasses traditional concrete products.

Its surface is refined through a meticulous grinding and polishing process, revealing the natural stone mosaic and creating a premium, seamless finish. Terrazzo is denser, smoother, moisture-resistant and far more durable than ordinary concrete, making it ideal for both interior and exterior use.

Thanks to these qualities, Terrazzo is widely used for outdoor furniture, small architectural elements, planters, benches, countertops, stairs, façade details and other decorative products. It maintains its beauty and durability for many years, even under heavy use and changing weather conditions.

Differences between Terrazzo and traditional concrete products with granite aggregate

1. Composition
   • Terrazzo: contains a high amount of marble and granite aggregate, giving the surface a seamless, luxurious look with rich colors. Each product is like a natural stone mosaic, where the stone is the main component and the binder only strengthens the structure.
   • Traditional concrete: the stone component is only a small fraction, while the base consists of cement and gravel. As a result, the surface often looks monotonous, flat, and less aesthetic.
2. Structure and density
   • Terrazzo: due to its dense structure and low porosity, the material does not absorb moisture, dirt, or other contaminants. This provides durability and resistance to frost, heat, and mechanical impact.
   • Concrete: is porous and more absorbent, so it wears out faster, cracks, or accumulates dirt, especially outdoors. Moisture can also damage the structure, particularly in cold climates.
3. Surface finishing
   • Terrazzo: the surface is ground and polished in several stages, revealing the natural stone pattern, colors, and texture. This finish not only enhances beauty but also makes cleaning easier.
   • Concrete: the surface is usually rough or only minimally smoothed, resulting in uneven light reflection and more difficult maintenance.
4. Aesthetics
   • Terrazzo: provides a luxurious, rich, mosaic effect appreciated by architects and designers. Each product is unique – the aggregate pattern never repeats, creating a distinctive impression.
   • Concrete: looks simpler, uniform, and less decorative, so it does not always give interior or exterior spaces a distinctive look.
5. Durability and longevity
   • Terrazzo: can last for decades as the surface retains its color, shine, and texture. Its wear resistance allows intensive use – both indoors and outdoors.
   • Concrete: wears out faster, loses color, absorbs dirt and moisture, and requires more maintenance and frequent renovation or restoration.

By choosing Terrazzo, you select a premium material that brings long-lasting beauty, uniqueness, and professional, architect-approved design to your space.
