GRANITE
Royal Botania uses solid granite. Granite is one of the hardest types of stone in the
world. The unusual pattern and structure of the stone gives every bollard its own special
look and character. simply clean with water and natural soap.
POLYETHYLENE
PE, or Polyethylene, is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of long hydrocarbon chains
which is very durable and ideal for outdoor use.
PVC COVERED FIBREGLASS
The PVC covered fiber provides a solid core. This material requires a strong tensile and
tear strengths, waterproofing, and heat and mildew resistance.
3D FABRIC
Made of synthetic fibers with a spacer layer of polyester microfilaments, absorbs little
water and dries very fast in open air.
ARABESCATO CARRARA
The translucent material highlights the natural beauty of marble.
POLYOLEFIN
This is a synthetic fibre made from polyethylene. The advantage of this fibre is its
strength, colour fastness. Also it is very resistant to staining and different weather
conditions.
MATERIALS
MATERIALS
TEAK
Because Royal Botania makes no concessions when it comes to quality, we only use
carefully selected, fully grown teak, which is harvested in accordance with the strictest
environmental standards. The wood comes from the Tectona Grandis, a tree that can
grow to a height of 45m under the right conditions with a trunk diameter of up to 2.4
metres. The reason for its generally commended durability is the high levels of natural
oils it contains. The resulting minimal moisture absorption prevents warping which gives
it great stability. Moreover, the wood is extremely resistant to the influences of chemi-
cals, as well as against attacks by vermin. Because of these qualities, combined with its
exceptionally-beautiful colour and structure, teak is classed as the most premium wood
on our precious planet.
CORIAN ®
Corian® is a ‘solid surface’ material made of mass-dyed composite material, they com-
bine mass with homogeneity, yet without seams or joints. The basic ingredient of this
product is aluminium trihydrate (ATH). Other components are acrylic resins, which are
used as a binder. Aluminium hydroxide makes the material very sturdy and also more
heat-resistant than other synthetic materials. 5 good reasons for choosing this material:
1. hard-wearing 2. non-porous 3. hygienic 4. impact-resistant 5. uV-resistant.
ZINC
The zinc alloy used to manufacture Royal Botania lighting will look white in colour when
first installed in the landscape. This is due to the acidification of the zinc oxide. At a later
stage, this white deposit will wash off and will turn into a lovely darkgrey patina.
PORCELAIN
Porcelain, refined and produced with modern and sophisticated techniques remains
stable in all temperatures. It’s extremely hard, wear-resistant and colorfast. This sus-
tainable and lifelong porcelain is very suitable for indoor- and outdoor use.
CAST IRON
Royal Botania uses a cast iron alloy with a small percentage of copper and chrome.
This prevents any layer of oxidation created by contact with air and water from flaking
off. The result is an even, rust-coloured patina that blends in perfectly with the natural
surroundings.
