Stonex maintenance

What Is Stonex?

Stonex is a durable and innovative material for outdoor furniture, offering the look of natural stone. It’s made from multiple layers of micro-mortar, lime and minerals, and features the appearance of concrete with a handcrafted finish.

Thanks to its waterproof, dirt-repellent coating, Stonex develops a subtle cloud effect and a unique colour variation – making it both long-lasting and stylish.

Properties of Stonex

Waterproof & Weather-Resistant
Thanks to its solid structure and transparent coating, Stonex is resistant to rain, moisture and UV rays. To prevent wear, use a protective cover during winter or when the furniture is not in use for extended periods.

Low Maintenance
Although the coating offers protection, stains like wine or tea can still absorb into the surface. Always wipe up spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth.

Luxurious Appearance
The hand-applied plastering technique gives each piece a unique, artisanal finish with subtle colour variations – giving Stonex a refined and elegant look.

The Best Way to Care for Stonex Garden Furniture

While Stonex is known for being low maintenance, a few simple steps will help keep your garden furniture in top condition:

Regular Cleaning
For everyday care, simply wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Food, drink or dirt stains can be removed easily without the need for harsh cleaning agents.

Avoid Abrasive Cleaners
Do not use scouring pads or hard brushes, as these can damage the protective coating. A soft cloth and lukewarm water are usually all you need to clean the surface.

Protect Against Direct Heat
Avoid placing hot items directly onto the Stonex surface. Always use coasters or heat-resistant mats to help preserve the protective finish.

Seasonal Protection
Stonex is weather-resistant, but during winter or prolonged rain, use a protective cover or place the furniture under a canopy. Move decorative objects around occasionally to prevent marks or rings from forming.

What you’ll need:

Allow the furniture to dry completely, then apply a protective layer using a Ceramic Protector for long-lasting protection.
