75+ Years of Concrete Craftsmanship
Hand-Antiquing Process
- Each item is hand built and faux finished by hand.
- Products are made of natural materials, so variation in color appearance due to degree of texture, size, shape of area and lighting can occur.
- The finishing process follows a basic antiquing principal: antique faux finish is applied over a base color or original gray concrete and wiped by hand. This accent color creates a highlight that compliments the base color as well as the significant detail in the design as more of the antique accent color remains in the contours and only a slight film remains over smooth surfaces.
- An ornament with a rough surface will feature more antique and may result in the overall color to appear lighter or darker depending on its color and that of the base.
- A smooth surface, on the other hand, will hold much less antique and thus it reveals more of the base color.
Stain vs. Paint
These 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.
Stains are are specially formulated to enhance with the passage of time as they patina from exposure to surrounding elements and conditions.
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 on color samples and in catalogs, promotional materials, digital screens and online as every single product is handcrafted and stained.
- Curing time, the weather on the day the finish is applied, and material textures all determine the unique outcome of each finish.
There are no warranties on applied finishes or guarantee that a finish will exactly match a color medallion or media photography.

Hard-to-Reach Addresses for Pallet Shipments
- Most LTL carriers use a standard 28-foot trailer, and it is the driver's discretion if they can safely drive down your street.
- For hard-to-reach addresses (i.e., narrow or dead-end streets) or unusual driveway configurations, some carriers may charge extra or require the shipment to be "rescued" by a different carrier. If this happens, we'll relay the additional cost for which you are responsible.
Help prevent an unplanned extra cost by using the Order & Delivery Instructions box on the Shopping Cart page to give us a heads up about any potential delivery considerations before the order is ready to ship.
➤ When in doubt, opt for the Threshold Upgrade, as this covers a lot of tricky delivery requirements with the freight carrier.
Misc. Delivery Terms (pallet shipments only)
| Special Instructions | If there are special delivery instructions for the freight carrier, please let us know at the time of order so accommodations may be made. There may be additional charges for special requests or you may need to make your own delivery accommodations once the piece arrives to your area. This is especially true for high-rise buildings. Cancellation of an order after it arrives and is subsequently determined to be undeliverable is subject to courtesy partial refund only after a Policy Exception is authorized. |
| Delivery Appt. & Holds/Storage | Similar to furniture deliveries, the carrier may call you before delivery to schedule drop off. If you commit to an appointment and are not present to accept delivery, or if you confirm a delivery date and subsequently reschedule, a re-delivery fee may be charged for which you are responsible. If the carrier must hold your pallet beyond their standard courtesy period, you are responsible for any storage fees. If a shipment is at risk of being returned to the design studio because you cannot be reached, Fountainful may update the service level to No Signature Required to spare you from shipping costs should a pallet be returned. |
| Change of Address | Any fee charged by the carrier for a change/re-consign of the original delivery address is your responsibility. |
| Forklift |
A small handful of items will require you to agree to the Forklift Delivery Terms before you can add the item to your cart. In these cases, the pallet(s) cannot be lowered on the lift gate and must be removed from the truck with a forklift. Plan ahead by contacting a local contractor or small equipment rental outfit (e.g., Lowes) if you're not already working with a landscaper who has this equipment. |
Always inspect your delivery. See the Refund Policy for a Delivery Inspection Checklist.
