Know before you buy
JANUStone is a proprietary, eco-friendly composite material designed to offer the aesthetic appeal of stone while being significantly more durable and lightweight than cast concrete. It is engineered to resist cracking and weathering, making it a more resilient choice for long-term outdoor use.
Yes, the Knossos Urn is a substantial piece with a 36-inch diameter, providing a stable, floor-standing base. While it is lighter than traditional stone, its size and weight are sufficient to remain secure in most standard garden or patio environments.
The Venetian Bronze finish is designed for outdoor durability and does not require specialized maintenance. To keep the urn looking its best, simply clean it periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dust or debris.
As a standard decorative urn, it is recommended to check the base for drainage capabilities upon arrival or consult with a professional installer if you intend to plant directly inside. If you are using it for live plants, you may need to add a drainage layer or use an internal liner to manage water levels.
Yes, the urn is weather-resistant and built to withstand various outdoor conditions. However, in climates with extreme freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend ensuring the planter is not holding standing water, which can expand and potentially damage the material.
