Why PolyMade's Planters Outlast the Seasons
Can you believe it’s already fall, and winter is right around the corner? Before you know it, we’ll be swapping the fall decorations for holiday ones, grabbing thicker coats and gloves, and winter weather will arrive. Whether you live in Kansas City or across the country, each season brings different weather: warm summers, cool falls, crisp winters, and mild springs.
Odds are you have plants of some kind in or around your commercial property or inside/outside your home, and keeping them moist and healthy year-round can be challenging. Did you know that your planters play a major role in how well your plants thrive each season? Many commercial planters aren’t built to withstand the elements and get damaged as the seasons change, hindering the plant’s health.
PolyMade’s customized planters are different. With our lightweight designs and durable finishes, every custom planter made by PolyMade is built to withstand all weather, remaining unaffected by exposure to the elements, never cracking, chipping, or fading. Keep reading to learn why PolyMade’s planters outlast the seasons and what sets them apart from the rest.
What are Customized Planters?
Before we explain how our planters outlast the seasons, let’s learn a bit more about customized planters. Unlike the planters you can purchase at home improvement or big box stores, custom planters are built to meet specific size, material, branding, and design requirements. Whether you want indoor or outdoor greenery or blooms throughout your commercial building or home, customized planters are a great way to add personality and complement your aesthetic.
Customized planters are designed by a custom planter company like PolyMade, which works closely with clients to create the perfect planter that brings their vision to life. Some planters are made from molds in materials like concrete or fiberglass planters, while others are made originally without molds and are made from lightweight materials.
How PolyMade’s Planters Stand Out From the Rest
PolyMade’s custom planters are different than other commercial planters in many ways: they’re never made from molds, are handmade in the United States, and are made with a three-layer construction. Below are just some of the many ways PolyMade’s custom planters stand out from the rest:
- Made from lightweight and flexible high-density polystyrene with a polyurea coating and DryVit™ finish 
- Most PolyMade planters weigh less than 6 lbs per cubic foot, significantly lighter than other custom planters 
- Entirely customizable, including paint finishes and engraved logos, text, or full-color graphics 
- Large planters & small planters - no size or quantity limitations 
- Installation support 
- Our material resists chipping, fading, and cracking 
PolyMade’s custom-made planters are the highest quality, most durable planters custom-made to outlast the seasons, regardless of harsh winters, extremely hot summers, or severe weather.
Why PolyMade’s Planters Outlast the Seasons
PolyMade’s planters outlast the seasons regardless of region and temperature for several reasons. Below are just some of the many things that make our customized planters durable and weather-resistant:
Made with a Three-Layer Construction
Every custom planter from PolyMade is uniquely designed, and custom molds are made to bring each client’s vision to life. Our planters are constructed from three layers, including a high-density polystyrene for insulation and lightness, a polyurea coating for durability and added strength, and a finish that allows our clients to customize their premium planter. All these layers protect your planter year-round, withstanding all weather conditions, UV exposure, and moisture.
Lightweight Designs
Our custom planters are lightweight, never heavy or made from concrete/ wood that will crack or fade from exposure. Our lightweight designs outlast the seasons because each layer is carefully crafted to ensure complete protection against the elements. A bonus to a lightweight design is that you can move or handle your planters without having to rent heavy equipment or hire professional movers.
Extraordinarily Durable Finishes
Another reason our custom planters outlast the seasons is thanks to our extraordinarily durable finishes. Once your customized commercial planter is built, a DryVit™ stucco finish is applied, giving it the appearance of stucco without the risk of cracks or damage. Because our products are lightweight and made from polystyrene and polyurea, they can expand and contract with fluctuating temperatures. They’ll never crack, chip, or fade regardless of extreme temperatures, severe weather, or humidity.
PolyMade’s planters are built to last for decades, never needing to be replaced annually or sooner. Thanks to our advanced technology and customized molds, your customized planter will withstand all weather, looking good as new year after year.
