John Wilkes started off as a sole trader when Europlanters was established in 1990 now his team have grown into a company that employs over 25 people. We have worked especially hard to deliver consistent high quality whilst improving our site so that we can provide an even better, faster service to all customers. In 2014 we opened a new manufacturing area which has hugely increased our production and capacity for larger bespoke items; we are continually adding to the 12,500 sq.ft. main production area, office and warehousing buildings. This has vastly extended our storage space, finishing and packing areas whilst creating a larger work space for our laminators. The manufacturing team has grown in line with the site; with additional management, several new permanent full-time staff, and additional office staff to supplement the original team who have been with us for many years. During our growth and our internal re-organisation of the main manufacturing and warehousing buildings, we have recently installed a new 24 square metre industrial spray booth with baking facility to turn around bespoke colour options more efficiently. Although based in the North West we ship our planters all over the country by pallet, parcel and our own transport, adding more delivery vehicles to our fleet and weekly routes into London. We supply across Europe, United States, Africa and the Middle East, with our exports increasing by 100% over the last 12 months. As part of the company development last year we have manufactured our own fibreglass building to expand our office space and to house additional sales and admin personnel. Our product range has grown too, we can now offer high quality fire retardant and UV stable artificial hedging and topiary, illuminated planters and our latest product Root Refreshers the watering system that once installed you can almost forget! Over the past year our design team have also been busy, launching many new designs and finishes, our latest being the Berkeley, Facet, Tetragon, Flexi, Knightsbridge, Windsor, Sphere and Stadium planters plus lots of new sizes to our range of standard Troughs and Cubes.

3 3 Planter types Stainless Steel can be used outside as well as inside, it will not rust but can corrode! This is down to chemicals in the compost (e.g. fertiliser) so we recommend the use of a plastic liner or GRP. Some of the Stainless Steel Planters are already painted internally. Galvanised Steel is ideal for Exterior Landscaping where an urban look is required, although shiny to start with these planters will dull down. This type of planter can be Powder Coated to introduce colours and special effects - the choice is endless! Aluzinc is a galvanised steel but it does not dull with time or show water marks. Aluzinc has a matt silver finish and used for cladding buildings will stand the test of time! Be careful though as it goes black when chaffed against almost anything! Both can be fabricated to bespoke shapes and sizes without adding prohibitive costs, they are not watertight unless sealed or GRP lined. Steel (Zintec) is cheaper but needs to be powder coated inside and out or GRP lined. Bespoke sizes can be made and they are seamless but once scratched it will rust! To prevent rusting hot dip galvanizing is best but this adds to the cost considerably. All metals are recyclable. GRP/Glass Reinforced Plastic, can be used for Interior and Exterior projects, it is strong, watertight and light weight. Ideal for roof gardens where access is difficult and weight saving essential. Will not be damaged by frost and readily accepts different paint finishes including metallics. Glass Fibre is not easily recyclable but will last for over 20 years! So because it does not need replacing for such a long time it is very eco friendly. Rotationally Moulded Plastic, has similar characteristics as GRP although it is tougher, the finish is dull or matt and paint will not easily stick to it. These are ideal for Terracotta or Matt Granite and Sandstone Planters. These are Eco friendly as the plastic is Recyclable and Black Planters are often made from recycled plastic.. Timber looks great in the right place, but unless hardwood, needs painting or varnishing after a couple of years. Combined with Stainless Steel it looks very contemporary. Alternatively use our GRP Wood Look panels on page 23. N.B. All dimensions are in mm and the height is always the last dimension.

4 NEW GRP Products Let your imagination run wild as GRP can be moulded into any size or shape and with the use of colour, create exciting schemes that will be enjoyed for many years. A high gloss surface comes as standard, other finishes available: satin, matt, metallic plus granite or textured stone effects. GRP is ideal for creating planting beds, seating, water features and screening to break up space and create the perfect haven. We hope this brochure ignites your passion for design and enthuses you to use planters in your landscape projects. Look out for the New symbols throughout this brochure. Below are just some of the exciting new shapes for you to use! A B 4 G F E C

6 6 Focus on Roof Gardens Taking GRP to a Higher Level Get inspired by the different ways you can use GRP to design the perfect roof top space. Create a rural retreat within an urban environment, where the back drop of a city contrasts with lush greenery and allows nature to unfold, people to unwind, relax or entertain in privacy. Europlanters have been privileged to be the chosen supplier of planters for some very prestigious roof top designs, specified by Architects, Garden Designers and Landscapers. Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is fast becoming the material of choice for many industry professionals for roof terraces and roof gardens, especially where access can be difficult. GRP is a low maintenance product, it is lightweight, seamless and durable but above all it is aesthetically pleasing and available in standard or bespoke shapes and RAL colours. Let your imagination run wild!

8 Case Study: Library of Birmingham Being contracted by Frosts Landscapes, Europlanters manufactured the bespoke 5.2 metre diameter, GRP teardrop shaped planters for the New Library of Birmingham. These were then used as flowerbeds to create a tranquil space on level three. Here visitors can relax, catch their breath or take a look at the interesting views of the Birmingham skyline. After being transported from the Europlanters factory in Stockport the planters were then lifted by crane and positioned before planting began. John Wilkes (Director) said we have done some exciting projects since 2012 but perhaps the most memorable has been the New Library of Birmingham, as British manufacturers we are proud to have been involved in this very prestigious project. The library was officially opened on 3rd September, 2012 this impressive piece of architecture holds one of the world s largest Shakespear collections. 8

10 Case Study: Going back to his roots John Wilkes, Director of Europlanters has gone back to his roots! Johns passion for fibre glass was first discovered whilst making Canoes at Uppingham School as a child. 35 years on, he is manufacturing planters for a roof top project on the top of the schools new science block Destination Science in the historic village of Uppingham. The aim for the new 3 storey building was to inspire new generations of young people to see science as an exciting and attractive subject. The roof terrace is part of the 40m project invested to redevelop and transform the school. Specified by Landscape Architect Robert Myers Associates the project consists of 17 planters combining wood seating with hidden storage boxes. 10

12 Case Study: Kings Cross Europlanters are proud to have been involved in what is being called the largest area of urban redevelopment in Europe, one of central London s most significant improvements and rejuvenation projects. Contracted by BAM Construction and working alongside Willerby Landscapes, Europlanters took GRP to a higher level using their planters for a roof top on part of a 170m development within the 67 acre estate of the Argent Kings Cross project. The roof top project comprised of two outdoor terraces on levels 8 and 11 of a prestigious building which will be used for offices and took only 10 weeks for British manufacturers, Europlanters to complete, from the conception of six different moulds to the installation of 132 separate sections. Made in RAL 7037 with a matt finish to match powder coated metal around the building and to contrast with the wooden seats and decking. After being manufactured in the factory in Cheshire, the sections were taken up to the roof top in stages and used to build eleven huge planters ranging from 6000mm to 10500mm in size. A bespoke drainage system was also fitted on site. It was a very busy 10 weeks said John Wilkes Director of Europlanters We had a very tight schedule to work to and I am proud to say my team delivered on time. 160 tonne bags of compost and 44 bulk bags of hydroleca were craned up to the top of the 11 storey high building along with over 1800 plants and 42 trees. The troughs were then planted up by a team of landscape experts from Willerby Landscapes. 12

14 Case Study: Grand Canal Square Europlanters recently completed a project where they were specified by Greenscene Interiors to manufacture bespoke, giant, illuminating planters for Grand Canal Square in Dublin, Ireland. The location is a prestigious office block, within 10,000m² of new commercial and cultural development overlooking Grand Canal Square and Harbour. This is an exciting urban space in Dublin s South Docklands. 14 A scheme was created by a design team using giant planters finished in a satin RAL 3003, chosen to compliment the red carpet a resin glass paving and the red lipstick lights of the grand walkway. The planters were placed at the entrance and also within the large atrium inside the building. The LED lit triangle planters of nearly 4m in length, echoed the geometry of the space, and the stained glass panels in the skylights. Europlanters worked closely with the designers and Greenscene from Dublin, representatives flew over to view our factory and inspect the first planter. The planters were so big that they were reinforced and braced, stainless steel was used to support the LED lighting and the guy fixing points.

16 Stainless Steel Planters Brushed or Polished finishes available but also look out for our new hammered finish. 16 Stainless Steel is a recognised material offering a touch of class in the office, home and around the garden. It s tough, sleek and remains elegant through time. Europlanters offers an extensive range of imported Stainless Steel manufactured from 304 Grade as well as larger bespoke planters made here in the UK. These units are also made from 304 Grade (18% Nickel & 8% Chromium content) Stainless but Marine (316) Grade can also be utilised. All bespoke Stainless Steel Planters are GRP lined for long lasting protection unless artificial plants are being installed. The imported Stainless Units are painted black on the inside but a plastic liner will prolong their life indefinitely. From a visual point the imported Stainless is slightly darker than British made planters. It is important to realise due to the Nickel content Stainless Steel will not rust but corrosion can occur due to attack from chemicals (fertiliser) in the compost. Hence the need to protect the stainless steel internally, clear lacquer can be applied to the outside at an extra cost but only onto a Brushed finish. NEW Please see price list or website for more shapes and sizes.

17 NEW Stainless Steel fittings to allow panels to be fitted, great for screening. 17

18 Caring for your Stainless Steel Planters Stainless Steel cleaners are available from Supermarkets or you can lightly oil them with a baby oil. For light scratches and scuffs we offer a scotch pad, which must be used laterally to coincide with the existing brushings. Polished Stainless can be cleaned with a furniture polish but do not use abrasive powders. 18 NEW

19 Galvanised Steel and Aluzinc A firm favourites for Exterior Landscapers large and small. This type of Planter is so versatile it can be used for single specimen displays, high & low, and long runs of planting beds. Bespoke containers are easily made at little extra cost, ideal for the tricky Garden Design or intricate roof top display. The same manufacturing techniques are used for the Powder Coated planters on the next page. Below is a list of standard sizes and although not always in stock can be made within a week or two. Castors can be fitted to these planters but due to the thickness of metal (approx 1mm) weight reducing measures are necessary. Use Hydroleca or polystyrene chips. Characteristics Galvanised Steel tends to dull down once outside, although the latest material is more stable. Aluzinc is a type of galvanised steel used for cladding buildings and has excellent weathering properties. It also comes in various patterns, please ask for swatches. Although both metals mark when rubbed together Aluzinc will stay the same and stand the test of time! All these Planters come pre drilled, if drain holes are not needed this must be specified. 19

20 20 Powder Coated Steel Planters Steel Planters can be made from Zintec or Galvanised sheet, folded and lock formed to shape or fully welded. The later being more expensive but we offer both as a bespoke service. The Planters are then powder coated to suit you or your clients needs. Powder coating is a paint process using electrostatically charged thermosetting or thermoplastic powders. Once charged the powder adheres to the metal surface and is cured in an oven at over 150ºC. This makes the paint very tough, UV stable and weather resistant. All our Planters are coated inside and out for all round protection. Powders are readily available from RAL or BS Charts as well as some of our own range of finishes, please call and ask for swatches. Above is a terrace showing how our planters, combined with railings help to form an outdoor seating area. The Gun Metal Planters blend beautifully with the newly refurbished building. Sarah Jane Rothwell, London Garden Designer

21 21 Corten and Stainless Steel Corten sheet can also be lock-formed together to create bespoke steel planters. This method of construction is cheaper than welded planters and offers considerable cost savings. Corten also known as Weathering Steel is widely used to clad buildings and has been used for famous structures like the Angel of the North. It is a steel alloy containing Copper as well as Chromium and Nickel and oxidises to giving a rusty appearance. It is ideal in public places where there is risk of vandalism as scratches soon rust over again. The disadvantages are staining from the corrosion so best to sink into a patio area or place on gravel. These planters need good drainage to prevent continual corrosion.

22 22 Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Planters GRP is a strong versatile material that can be moulded into almost any shape, as long as you have a mould! It s properties are ideal for planters, both interior and exterior use, it is light weight for roof gardens, easily painted in any RAL colour and does not break down outside. We manufacture all of our range at the factory in Stockport which helps us to keep costs down and a close eye on quality. We produce all our own tooling and can offer a bespoke in house service. Look out for some new designs for this year, the Flexi range, contemporary Window Boxes, Facet planters and many more new Trough/Cube sizes and finishes.

23 Charlotte Sanderson Garden Design Finishes GRP can be produced in a variety of finishes, below are many of the options you can choose from. 23 NEW Stone Gloss RAL Colours Metallics Chrome Matt RAL Colours Slate Ceramic Granite Wood Effect

24 Tall Squares, Troughs and Cubes Seamless sleek planters are the modern trend so we have increased our range of sizes to accommodate most needs. Tall Squares can be cut down to bespoke heights at no extra cost. Whilst we carry a stock in Black most of these planters are made to order, please allow a few weeks. The Tall Troughs are excellent for partial screening in cafes, bars, offices and hotels where some privacy is enjoyed without losing the overall atmosphere. These planters have perfectly square edges, so when butted up together there are no gaps. The R10 comes with a false bottom if required, at 1200mm high they are ideal for hiding unsightly areas. Cubes are perfect for showing off specimen plants, lining pathways or standing either side entrances. New to our Troughs, Cubes and Tall Squares range is the Berkeley pictured below, these lead look planters are a perfect boundary to any city property in need of feature frontage. 24 Greenscene Interior Plant Displays Love Your Garden, BBC NEW Arbour Design & Build, London

25 Tall Tapered Squares, Slinky S & Corks Tall Tapered Squares remain a popular choice for front of house plant displays. Pictured right below 1500mm high Tapered Squares in Black. However our Slinky S planter has also risen in popularity due to its versatility, they can be cut in half to form a cascading display at 400/400/1200mm high with removable liner it forms a stunning contemporary effect.

We also offer the range in Granite effects which although more expensive to produce give a touch of class to any plant display. MBM Landscapes

27 27 Bowl Planters and Water Bowls Our range of Bowl Planters offer an alternative to traditional planting. They can be used as singular bowls for plants, floral displays and water features or in groups for a cascading display, why not use two together with one upturned as a base (shown right) to add height. There are three sizes available, plus a multitude of colours and finishes to choose from, please see our price list or website

28 28 Tall Cylinders For a more contemporary look than the original classic circular planters. Tall Cylinders can be used in groups of three or more at various heights to create a cascading plant display or to line an entrance as pictured, to great effect. They are 400mm in diameter and available up to 1200mm high. We also provide polystyrene cylinders (POLYC1) at 400mm high and polythene liners to lift the planting depth. This not only saves time and money but keeps the water level nearer to the roots.

29 Window & Wall Boxes Very popular for both Interior and Exterior planting. We offer tapered or square cornered troughs. Tapered troughs come without a return lip making them easier to plant or replant and so are a cheaper option. Wall boxes are great for kitchen garden herb planting. Pyramids, Cones & Hanging Bowls Give your interior and exterior designers an attractive alternative from the usual hanging baskets. Half Cones can be mounted directly onto a wall, ideal for live and artificial displays when floor space is restricted. See our price list for all variations. NEW NEW 29

30 Elho Illuminated Planters Europlanters are a supplier of Elho Illuminated planters. NEW The Pure range of planters come in tall or short pots from 360mm high to 900mm.

32 Ceramic Look & Classic Shaped Planters Although some of these planter shapes have been around for a few years they still look great in offices, shopping centres and conservatories. There is a shape and size for every location. We have brought the ceramic look up-to-date by using plain colours, shown here is a Tall Tapered Circular (900 mm high) and Boat Pots in Lime Green and Red. These planters can also be made to look like stone with our granite effect or metal using either silver, gold or chrome finishes. 32

33 Rotationally Moulded Plastic Planters This extensive range is made from tough, scratch resistant polyethylene. The material is recyclable, black planters are made from recycled material - so very ecofriendly and made here in the UK! Colours include: Black, White Marble, Dark Granite, Grey Granite, Green Granite, Slate and Sandstone. The Traditional Planters also come in Light and Dark Terracotta. All the colours have high UV stability and will last for many years inside or out. Polyethylene is frost proof but does not accept paint.

34 34 Stainless Steel Frame Planters These ultra modern planters provide a contemporary blend of Stainless Steel and Natural Wood or Granite panels.

There are two sizes of Tall Squares and three Cubes available - Please see our price list for sizes. Various panels are available ranging from Natural wood to GRP replicating Mahogany, Oak, Beech or Slate.

35 Timber Planters NEW Wood is versatile and has a natural beauty which can be enhanced using stains and varnishes. Although suitable for inside and outside displays, care must be taken to protect the timber from damp compost, therefore we recommend a GRP lining. Unless hardwood is used a varnish or paint is required to protect the outer surface. NEW Wood Look GRP is a great alternative to the real thing. Not only does it look good, needs no maintenance and wont rot but it s cheaper! The GRP panels are made up and bonded together to create the size you require - prices on application. We can produce troughs or squares up to 2000mm long and 1000mm high in a variety of colours to replicate Mahogany, Oak, Teak or simply black or white finishes. See inset photo top left. 35

38 Screening Create instant screening for cafes, restaurants and bars or define boundaries on roof gardens and terraces with our planters. Hide unsightly walls or create privacy from neighbours using Ivy screens and our troughs made with special post supports to hold the ivy in place. Incorporating low level lighting into our troughs is another great idea, it is easy to conceal wiring in the base of our planters once you have screened off a walkway. Pictured top right are small LED lights in one of our GRP Troughs to create atmosphere after dark. 38

40 40 Small Gardens Small gardens and terraces need to be planned with as much, if not more care than large ones. Think about how you want to use your garden throughout the year; note where the sun is during the day, this will dictate your seating and planter positions. Different levels in a small garden add interest and when planters are used to give height it also makes light work of plant maintenance, as shown here with these large sleek white planters. Manchester Deck

41 41 Pictured above, the use of a striking colour in a green garden adds a wow factor, being bold and brave in the right situation can give the amazing impact. Pictured bottom left a sleek looking grey trough border transforms the border of an often forgotten small front garden, clearly marking the boundary and making planting a less back breaking job. Even small spaces can be beautiful, again the use of tall troughs has given a border along the fence line of this tiny garden. Blue Tulip

42 Water Features Enhance your garden design, roof terrace or landscape with a water feature. It gives movement, sound and a focal point. 42 GRP has no limits! Let your imagination flow it is the perfect media as it is water tight, robust, maintenance free and is available in any size, shape or colour. Whether you are going for a contemporary look or something more traditional, the durable properties of GRP are perfect. Why not design your own unique water feature and let us make it for you, as well as natural looking stones we have feature moulds that can be incorporated into your design (shown here in the main photograph is a 2.5m x 2m waterfall, this can be manufactured in any colour rock). Our GRP Troughs and Bowls can be adapted to hold water on a large or small scale. Pictured top and bottom right are large troughs which hold water, the top photo has a contemporary water feature above, the bottom photo shows a bespoke waterfall built from two Corten Steel Troughs, also right is a Bowl water feature, great for the smaller garden.

44 Bespoke Projects 44 Europlanters own factory is capable of producing all sorts of GRP mouldings. We have over 20 years of experience behind us manufacturing all sorts of wonderful shapes. Projects shown above and right are design led desk facias. Furniture can also be achieved in GRP, practical and robust, great for a funky office or contemporary garden (see opposite page). Bespoke GRP Planters are becoming increasingly popular for large street planting areas and raised flower beds (see photos on opposite page). Although more expensive than standard planters they are quite often cheaper than building brick walls, withstanding weather extremes for many years. We can even use a stone effect paint to look like a rendered or stone wall. Call for advice on economical design and build projects. Volt Interiors Why not personalise planters with your company name, café/restaurant or brand, a great idea at entrances, call for prices.
