HPC Terrazzo Concrete Bench without Backrest with Wooden Seat BS-332 | Urban Premium Collection

Contemporary urban aesthetics, the character of natural stone and the warmth of wood – BS-332 from the Urban Premium Collection is a modern HPC Terrazzo concrete bench without backrest with a wooden seating surface, designed for parks, urban squares, promenades and contemporary landscape architecture projects.

BS-332 is a modern HPC Terrazzo concrete bench without backrest with a wooden seat, combining the strength of architectural concrete, the distinctive texture of natural stone and the warm aesthetics of wood. Its balanced construction and clean geometric lines allow the bench to integrate naturally into both minimalist contemporary architecture and more organic landscape environments.

The supporting legs are manufactured from High Performance Concrete (HPC) – premium-quality fibre-reinforced concrete characterised by excellent structural strength, stability and long-term durability. The concrete structure incorporates carefully selected natural marble or granite aggregates of defined sizes. Different natural stone colours can be combined to create a variety of customised finishes, allowing BS-332 to complement the architectural style, paving, façades and overall colour concept of each project.

A distinctive feature of this model is its finely textured concrete surface. The subtle relief finish emphasises the natural character of the material and gives the concrete elements additional architectural expression. The combination of different surface textures, solid HPC concrete and warm wood creates a visually balanced piece of contemporary street furniture and urban landscape design.

The comfortable wooden seating surface visually softens the solid concrete structure and introduces a natural element into the design. Depending on the project requirements and desired aesthetic, the seat can be manufactured from softwood, Iroko, bamboo or Resysta® composite wood.

Softwood provides a natural and welcoming appearance, while Iroko offers the rich and elegant character associated with exotic hardwood. Bamboo delivers a contemporary aesthetic with an attractive natural texture. For projects where long-term durability and reduced maintenance are particularly important, Resysta® composite wood is an excellent alternative. It provides the warm appearance of natural wood while offering excellent outdoor performance. Resysta® does not crack, swell or rot, making it particularly suitable for intensively used public spaces.

The concrete and wooden components of BS-332 are additionally treated with special protective coatings, increasing their resistance to demanding weather conditions and helping preserve the appearance of the materials over time. This makes the bench particularly suitable for outdoor environments where street furniture is exposed to year-round use.

The backless design gives BS-332 excellent versatility when planning public and private outdoor spaces. It can be installed as a standalone seating element, positioned along pedestrian routes, arranged in groups or combined with other products from the Urban Premium Collection to create a coordinated urban environment.

BS-332 is designed to reflect the dynamic character of contemporary urban life while remaining complementary to modern landscape design. The contrast between monumental concrete, natural stone texture and warm wood allows the bench to integrate beautifully with greenery, contemporary building façades, natural stone paving and modern architectural environments.

BS-332 is ideally suited for parks, urban squares, plazas, promenades, alleys, pedestrian zones, residential developments, business centres, hotels, shopping centre surroundings, recreational areas and other public or private outdoor spaces.

The BS-332 HPC Terrazzo concrete bench combines contemporary design, comfort and long-term durability. Finely textured HPC concrete with natural marble or granite aggregates and a choice of softwood, Iroko, bamboo or Resysta® composite wood seating provide architects and landscape designers with extensive customisation possibilities.

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.
