The choice of durability with ‘IMAGE’IN’ sustainable planters
Back on site almost 10 years after installation
We’re delighted to see that the pots haven’t aged a day!
A customer who is completely satisfied with his long-lasting planters shares his experience with us here. Happy to see that the planters he installed at the beginning of 2015 have not changed over time, he would now like to complete his landscaping.
As part of our commitment to sensible consumption, we choose to use sustainable materials to ensure the quality and longevity of our products.
Our durable IMAGE’IN planters are made from fibre cement, a particularly durable material that’s ideal for outdoor planters. Fibre cement is frost-proof, rot-proof and non-combustible (classified M0 / A2-s1,d0 according to EN 13-501-1). It is also impervious to saline or chlorinated environments, making it ideal for use by the sea or poolside.
Fairly heavy, the advantage of this material is that pots are perfectly stable in windy conditions. Finally, fibre cement has a low thermal conductivity, which is an advantage in hot weather compared with sheet metal pots, where the high conductivity of the material will dry out the soil more quickly.
Fibre cement is also environmentally friendly
Eternit fibre cement is a mineral material that contributes to eco-construction thanks to its intrinsic qualities. Eternit is itself an eco-responsible supplier, with ISO14001 certification. The fibre cement manufacturing process is non-polluting. Eterboard® fibre cement panels are made from a mixture of cement, mineral fillers, natural fibres and additives. Its composition makes it perfectly ecological throughout the manufacturing, installation and deconstruction cycle. It can easily be recycled as inert rubble. For example, our off-cuts, if they cannot be reused in new products or for the production of samples, are recycled as rubble by a local earthworks company.
We produce all our IMAGE’IN planters to order in France, in our workshop in Touraine
You are free to choose the shape, dimensions and options, as well as the colour and finish. And colourfastness over time is also a very important factor in longevity. To achieve this, we use two-component polyurethane paints and varnishes. This ‘car-like’ system of primer + paint + varnish guarantees perfect UV resistance and ensures that the colour stays beautiful for years.
We are committed to producing quality pots
That’s why our team is ready to listen to your detailed requirements and offer you a customised service. So don’t hesitate to ask us for a quote for your project. > Request a quote

Water management
The base of the pots is draining. Perforations in the bottom allow excess water to drain away under the planter.
