ANTIQUES GARDENING

Different Forms of Commercial Garden Planters

In recent years, the popularity of commercial planters has increased dramatically as a fantastic way to make a welcoming entranceway and warm greetings in public locations. For concerns with al fresco areas, lovely planters overflowing with rich displays of flowers and foliage invite customers to relish and spend time.

Garden planters are an impressive way to adorn the backyard, a window shelf or even the interior of your home. Planters are far less messy and further compact than conventional gardens. They can be moved around and placed in artistically pleasing displays. A good thing is that they are available in an assortment of shapes and sizes and are made from many materials. Thus, you can find one that complements your home’s motif. Below are just a few.

Fiberglass Planter

Fiberglass is a great material for garden planters for several distinct reasons. Firstly, they are lightweight. Secondly, being a compliant material, they are available in all different sizes. Paired with the lightweight quality, that makes fiberglass garden planters an ultimate choice for larger planters, trees and bushes. Ultimately, fiberglass is a long-lasting durable material that can be molded to emulate a bouquet of colors and finishes, including glossy, metallic and matte.

Plastic Planters

In general, plastic planters are quite cheap and flimsy. In contrast, polyethylene is a quite durable and lovely plastic polymer that works superb with exterior furniture and garden planters.
Akin to fiberglass, polyethylene is lightweight, but it is quite impervious to cracking and falling apart. This material is generally used for commercial garden planters in hotels and malls. Another positive aspect about plastics is that polyethylene used is recycled to a greater extent, so you can make a nice purchase while being environmental. Plastics are superior for indoor and outdoor use, and sustain against weather damage and temperature flux.

Ceramic Planters

When you think of those lovely traditional and antique garden planters lavishly painted and displayed in palaces and whatnot, you’re thinking about ceramic. Generally hand-cast, ceramic planters are some of the rich and exotic types available. With these garden planters, the colors and designs are virtually everlasting, and a good number of ceramic holders come with a high-shine finish. There are some negatives, though. Ceramic does not sustain well under prolonged exterior display. Colors will fade in the long run, plus the flimsy material is apt to crack, especially when the temperature changes fast. In addition, they’re heavier than their counterparts, so moving ceramic planters can be risky. However, for interior or temporary al fresco use, ceramic is a great choice.

Wooden Planters

Wooden glass planters are generally hand-made and limited to rectangular shapes. However, their sizes can be small to large.  These planters can either be left finished or unfinished, and they generally come with a sort of drainage system. For the external use, teak and cedar woods work better than others.
