 Relatively
new to the world of statuary is the art of casting
statues with fiberglass resin, a very durable
synthetic polymer. Resin statues are able to retain
all of the detail of the original works while
offering many other benefits. They weigh less
than cast-stone statues and, therefore, cost less
to ship. They have a greater strength than some
of the other materials that can be cast. And,
the resin statues are suitable for indoor and
outdoor use.
There is also a considerable amount of flexibility
in regards to the finishing options for cast resin
sculptures. In fact resin statues can be created
to mimic the look of ancient stone, marble, bronze,
or porcelain sculptures. Hand-painted poly-chrome
finishes can even be achieved.
It is important to note that while resin statues
and sculpture do well in rain and can handle temperatures
above freezing, they are not as resistant to harsh
winter conditions. The expansion and contraction
of ice in crevices may crack the piece and it
is, therefore, recommended that the sculpture
be brought inside when freezing temperatures threaten.
Statue.com is proud to offer an extensive selection
of resin statues and sculptures. For the most
part, these resin works are scattered around in
our various galleries.
