Materials
The Groove bench is crafted from top-tier Elecrete architectural concrete, known for its superior technical attributes.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor use (sealed), this bench is constructed from premium cement mixes, quartz aggregates, modern plasticizers, and next-gen polymers, all reinforced with HP 62/4 12 mm glass fiber. The concrete mix used is enhanced for greater compressive and bending strength, making it resistant to frost and water, with increased durability against wear and tear, and also includes a surface sealant.
When compared with standard concrete B30, its compressive strength is 3 to 4 times greater, enabling the production of slender yet robust elements.
| Concrete B30 | |
| Compressive strength Rc [MPa]. | 30 |
| Flexural tensile strength Rg [MPa]. | 2-4 |
| Split tensile strength Rr [MPa]. | 1,5-2 |
| Abrasiveness [cm] | 0,6 |
| Water absorption [cm] | 4-8 |
Colors
Elecrete concrete (seat and wheel) - Available in 4 primary colors.
Stainless steel (legs) - Satin finish.
Black steel (legs) - Can be painted in any shade from the RAL color spectrum.
Additionally, the benches can be coated with a special paint that includes a sealer, offered in numerous extra colors. This includes options for transparent dyeing of the concrete, customizable within approximately 10% to 50% ranges.
* - Components include quartz, a natural material that might have trace amounts of iron oxide impurities, leading to minor spot changes on the surface that resemble rust. These changes do not compromise the product’s quality and represent a small issue that is beyond our control. The color of various batches might slightly differ due to variations in the raw materials utilized during manufacturing.
The debut of the GROOVE bench occurred at the International Design Festival Gdynia DesignDay in June 2010.
This project received high praise and conveniently provided a resting spot for folks passing by.
