    Faux May Be The Way To Go

    "Faux May Be The Way To Go" will be the topic of the July Fixie Chick blog series. Twice a week I'll be posting ideas and information on some of the coolest and innovative new "faux" products for your home and yard.


    Polyresin
    Polyresin is an all weather material. It is a great choice for outdoor furniture and statuary. Polyresin can be mold and mildew resistant and withstands UV rays and hot temperatures. It comes in a variety of colors, from bright yellow to natural wood tones.

    FYI
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Polyresin is a resin compound generally used for statues, figurines, and decorative furniture. It is a sturdy material that can be intricately molded, allowing a great level of detail with consistent texture.

    Additives can be incorporated into the compound to enhance the material's strength, reduce its weight, add heat stability, decorative effects, and so on. Polyresin is also compatible with a large range of different finishes, including paint and metallic finishes, which is why many decorative pieces are made from this material.

    One form of polyresin often used is Alabastrite. It is a stone-based material, easy to sculpt, takes paint well, and has a similar appearance to porcelain and pottery.

    Good to know!
