Prospect Block Bench

Featuring striking asymmetrical forms and robust materials that are based on our competition-winning designs for the Western Sydney Parklands Trust, the Prospect block bench is ideal for parkland and urban environments. With a solid precast concrete base that grounds the design, the bench is available in 5 hardwood and 5 Duraslat™ XG batten colours with steel framing details in 27 powder-coat colours or a galvanised finish to blend in or contrast with the landscape it sits in.

Certified Hardwood
All hardwood is sourced from sustainable forests certified by the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), the world’s largest forestry certification system.

Recycled Materials
We locally source our steel. It means we know it uses recycled content and is 100% recyclable.

Duraslat™ XG is made from 90% of recycled hardwood fibres and reclaimed plastic materials, which reduces demand for virgin materials. 

Low Pollutants
Our powder-coating process doesn’t emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and has Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

Hardwood
Cleaning
Remove any loose surface deposits with a soft bristled brush and wipe down with fresh water and a non-abrasive cloth. 

Oiling
Oiling of timber will postpone natural greying, repel moisture, improve mould resistance, help maintain a smooth surface texture and enhance the grain and colour. 

To maintain, lightly sand rough areas of timber and brush on one coat of timber decking oil every 6 months or as required.

Duraslat™ XG
Cleaning
Simply wash down occasionally. Do not use high pressure cleaners.

Powder-Coat
Cleaning
Carefully remove any loose surface deposits with a wet sponge or soft bristled brush.

Use a soft (non-abrasive) cloth or brush and a diluted solution of mild detergent and warm water.

Ensure surfaces are thoroughly rinsed with clean fresh water after cleaning to remove all residues.

Never use thinners, abrasive cleaning agents, alcohol-based, acid or alkali cleaning agents.

Hot-Dip Galvanised Steel
For general cleaning of bulk contaminants such as dirt and the like, ordinary laundry soaps can be satisfactorily used. 

For more stubborn or larger areas, the use of a low-pressure wash (eg. a gurney gun) with just pure water or in conjunction with proprietary cleaning materials, such as car wash or truck wash, can be effective. It is important that the steel be washed down with fresh water after cleaning.

The cleaning treatment of the galvanising should be conservative at first and then if the situation demands, the treatment can become steadily more aggressive. Also, wherever some form of mechanical abrasion or “scrubbing” is required, the use of a hard, plastic bristle brush is recommended. Steel bristle brushes are not to be used since they will cause discolouration.

Mechanical methods of cleaning zinc surfaces can cause aesthetic issues. The “cleaned” areas are likely to contrast with adjacent untreated surfaces and may take a significant period of time to weather to a uniform colour. If aesthetics is a large concern, it is advisable to first test the cleaning method in an inconspicuous area in case the aesthetic effect is unappealing.

Option: left or right-hand cantilever (when seated).
