​8. POLISHED & INDUSTRIAL FINISH CONCRETE PRODUCTS Every one of our handmade concrete firepits will be unique and each may be permeated by a rich complexity of colour or shade variation. No single sample or image can tell the whole story. Our six colours offer a balanced range in a contemporary design - rich and natural - but every firepit will be different to a certain extent.
8.1 As with all polished/industrial-finish concrete, the final appearance will be influenced by the hand-finishing and curing process.
8.2 Urban Outdoors concrete products are manufactured in a closed environment but variables must be taken into consideration such as; weather/ambient temperatures on the day of the pour, for example. However, this is one of the many beauties of concrete as it will be completely individual to the next product, even of the same colour.
8.3 ​Concrete products do not come with any warranty and all types of purchasers agree to this when ordering the product. Each is inherently strong, but like many materials cannot withstand rough handling in transit or during the installation process. We provide exceptional export-grade crating for transit. If the crate is damaged please inspect the products inside immediately and report to us in writing within 48 hours. If placed heavily on a hard surface, concrete can be stres, resulting in fissures which may open during frosty weather or under hot conditions, or even when the fire is in use. It is permissible to fill any such fissures with proprietary fillers available from any DIY store.
