Cold-Weather States

While high-density cast stone concrete is designed to produce a strong and durable product, proper maintenance is recommended to protect our product from the freeze-thaw cycles that occur in winter.

Any piece which can hold water, snow or ice, (e.g., fountain top or bowl, birdbath, planter, saucer) AND any piece placed directly onto the ground surface (e.g., statue, fountain/birdbath base, planter, bench leg) can be damaged by the winter freeze-thaw cycles.

Visit our Cleaning & Care page for specific guidance.

Placement & Safety

• A concrete fountain must be placed on a level and firm surface and not raised off the ground more than the inch or two that would occur if using a base.
• A base or concrete slab will additionally help prevent unplanned erosion from the weather, sprinkler system, and fountain splash.
• For both safety and optimal performance, do not place fountain on a pedestal or riser, unless included as part of the fountain design. 
• If building the fountain into a wall or structure, use professional contractors who understand concrete expansion principles and the required joint spacing and materials to help with the buildup of stress when concrete naturally expands and contracts seasonally. 

CAUTION: Excessive weight or pressure on a concrete fountain may cause it to fall. Keep children & others from climbing, sitting, or leaning on the fountain.

The Beauty of Authenticity

• Campania’s patinas are hand-applied in a multi-step process which produces unique and beautiful surface finishes intended to replicate naturally aged materials.
• Like stains for wood, each piece will accept the patina in varying degrees of intensity, creating surface variations with distinctive character.
• Even when applied with the same process, this artisanal technique gives each piece a unique beauty and permits natural aging to occur seamlessly in an outdoor environment.
• Remember: these color finishes are stains – not paint. Stains are formulated to enhance and complement the hand-sculpted concrete, not hide it! It’s natural for the cast stone to show through in parts.

Campania's finishes are another testament to the true beauty of products handcrafted by the company for more than 40 years.

Color Representation

• Products are photographed in a variety of settings, including natural and artificial lighting.
  
• When viewed in person, the actual color, shape, size and texture of products will vary from those shown in catalogs, promotional materials, digital screens and online as every single product is handcrafted and painted.
  

These factors add to the uniqueness and authenticity of your product! No two are alike, and variations are normal.

There are no warranties on applied finishes or guarantee that a finish will exactly match a product's photography.
