Terra Cotta Planters
Whether you place them outside a building on a sidewalk or plaza or you display them in a hotel lobby, dining area in a restaurant, or along a shopping promenade, planters provide a way to include greenery, such as flowers, small trees, shrubbery and succulents.
A favorite among planter materials is terra cotta for its color and ability to be embellished with many details. The somewhat porous material is also good for the greenery that it houses. However, these terra cotta planters may not last due to exposure to all types of elements. That’s why TerraGlas offers a great alternative.
Why Terra Cotta Planters Deteriorate
While terra cotta is beautiful and is good for plants, shrubs, and small trees, it does not hold up over time. That’s because when it is exposed to weather, water, and chemicals, the terra cotta material begins to break down, including crumbling, cracking, and chipping.
No one wants to have a deteriorating planter on display as part of their exterior design because it takes away from that reputation of excellence and quality that a business wants. Even worse, the deterioration of the terra cotta planters can harm the plants and shrubs in the planters, further damaging the surrounding beauty.
Long-Lasting Beautiful Planters
When it comes to new planters to match your existing décor, including fountains and columns, TerraGlas has the solution for you.
