Polystone figurines

On the counters of modern stores and on the pages of Internet sites, you can often find souvenir and decorative products from polystone. What this material is and how to choose a suitable figurine from it - read below.

Polystone is an artificial (polymer) stone that looks like a natural one, but is devoid of the latter's shortcomings. It includes:

• acrylic resins;
• crushed natural stone;

It is thanks to all of the above that polystone is chosen by large companies and handmade craftsmen for making figurines and garden figurines. Let's talk about their range.

• garden gnomes;
• animals: cats, horses, frogs, elephants, dogs, snails, ducks, turtles, chickens, pigs;
• heroes of cartoons and fairy tales.

A huge advantage of polystone over other similar materials is its amazing color rendition. The figures are very bright, with expressive features, which is why they look like living ones. Colors do not fade over time, since the impact of external factors on the product does not affect its appearance in any way.
