Special planters made-to-measure in fibre cement IMAGE'IN

IMAGE’IN Special planters made to measure in fibre cement according to your requirements

# All the colours and finishes

We offer the IMAGE’IN special planters in all the colours on the standard RAL colour chart (excluding pearlescent, glitter and fluorescent shades).

Please contact us to assess the feasibility of using colours from other colour charts. In any case, it will always be possible to countertype a sample of your supply to achieve the shade you want.

More specific finishes are available, such as ‘Marron Oxyde Urbain’ to give a ‘rusty’ look, or the ‘Zinc’ patina. The latter is an option at extra cost.

Finally, all our planters are varnished as standard. The varnish comes in a choice of 4 finishes: matt, satin, gloss or micronised (also known as “sandblasted”). This latter provides optimum protection for the colour, particularly against UV rays, to ensure that the colours last over time.

# Some examples of options for special planters

A wide range of options can be added to your planters and special modules to provide the functionality you need, such as:

– System for anchoring to the ground;
– Concealed handling castors / Retractable braking foot; or visible braked castors;
– Adjustable feet;
– Installed on XPS buffers for a distributed anti-punching load;
– Ventilation grid;
– Access hatch;
– Ashtray;
– etc…

Image’in is a range of planters with a contemporary, uncluttered style.

Made from Natura ® fibre cement, our flared planters are made to measure to suit your every need.
In direct contact with the designer, we can provide you with the best possible support in defining your product.

# Fibre cement

Fibre cement is a rot-proof and frost-proof material, which are major qualities for outdoor planters. What’s more, fibre cement is impervious to salty or chlorinated environments, making it ideal for use by the sea or near swimming pools.

Our fibre cement planters are quite heavy by nature and therefore stable in the wind, despite their narrow base. In the event of heavy exposure, you can add ballast to the bottom of the high tubs for safety.

Fibre cement is rigid; it will behave rather like pottery. This material is therefore suitable for reasonably sized planters with simple functions. For larger volumes and more complex systems, we offer our STEELAB planters in sheet metal.

# The special planters

The special formats illustrated here are designed to showcase our manufacturing capabilities: corner, L-shaped or triangular planters, trapezoid, parallelepiped, inverted pyramid, bevelled corners, etc.
Our only constraint will be to keep the shapes flat. Rigid fibre cement panels cannot be bent to make cylindrical or curved containers.
If you would like us to quote for a specific shape, please enclose a dimensioned drawing.

So let your imagination run wild…

# Installation

The flared planter rests on the ground on its periphery with a hollow joint at its base. The bottom is therefore slightly raised. This means a loss of useful height of around 10cm.

# Water management

In its classic configuration, the bottom is drained. A perforation in the base allows any excess water to drain away under the planter. However, other configurations are available as options:
– Horticultural drainage system with water reserve;
– Barbican for lateral drainage;
– Watertight base for indoor use;
– Open bottom for contact with the soil.
