Quattro Modern Planter

Whilst its vibrant appearance is one of the first things that draws people’s attention to our composite moulded products it’s often it’s hidden qualities that really sell it – extremely easy to clean, corrosion resistant and vandal resilient.

Yes a very extensive choice, we can manufacture the items to the BS/RAL colour of your choice.

Absolutely, our products are weatherproof being able to withstand the extremities of British weather be it the hottest of summers or the coldest of winters.

Yes, their smooth finish allows for the easy removal of everyday dirt and grime by simply wiping over with a soft cloth or sponge that has been immersed in warm water, for more stubborn stains a mild detergent can be added to the water. Following cleaning, seating products can be dried and ready for use almost immediately by wiping over with a dry soft cloth.

No, unlike many other outdoor products, our composite moulded products require no specialist treatment to protect against rust or decay. However, we would recommend the occasional application of a UV wax solution to help protect against UV exposure.

Whilst the gel coats used in the production of our furniture contains pigments with high light fastness ratings, the furniture’s colour may suffer from a slight dulling over time due to UV exposure. To help protect against this a specialist wax solution is applied to the furniture prior to it leaving our factory. However, we would recommend further applications of this wax during the course of the furniture’s life.

Types of vandalism are wide and varied however; our composite moulded furniture is capable of seeing off some of the most common forms. Tough enough to withstand harsh impact, for example that of a hammer. Whilst marker pen and graffiti can normally be removed with the use of specialist wipes, which are available from Sui Generis. Attempts to inflict damage from a cigarette lighter will often see the perpetrator inflict more damage on themselves than the furniture.

Ultimately though, as with most items, if somebody is intent on causing damage they will probably succeed. However, in the event that someone does manage to inflict surface damage, the affected areas will not rust and localised damage can often be repaired as opposed to complete replacement.
