GFRC

Planters Unlimited’s GFRC planters stand as one of today’s leading choices for commercial landscaping projects, merging classic stone appearance with advanced composite technology. These skillfully designed GFRC planter boxes and pots provide the commanding presence of natural stone while eliminating weight-related complications, positioning them perfectly for contemporary business environments that demand both beauty and practicality.

Superior Material Engineering

GFRC technology transforms how professionals approach large-scale planting projects. Unlike traditional concrete planters that can weigh hundreds of pounds, our GFRC collection maintains remarkable durability while significantly reducing weight. This proprietary blend of materials creates planters that withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy foot traffic without compromising mobility. 


GFRC planters are incredibly durable. The inherent strength means that these planters resist cracking, fading, and deterioration that plague inferior alternatives. Whether you’re designing a hotel lobby or restaurant patio, they maintain their sophisticated appearance year after year. The reduced weight is also a game-changer for installation teams and future relocations.


Each piece in our GFRC collection showcases this material innovation. The French Basket design captures traditional woven textures, while the Lynx series offers both round and rectangular configurations for versatile applications.

Customization That Inspires

Professional designers know that one size never fits all. That’s precisely why our GFRC planter boxes and pots offer extensive customization options that go far beyond standard offerings. Choose from multiple hand-applied finishes, each carefully developed to complement diverse architectural styles and brand aesthetics.


Want company logos? Custom color matching? Integrated drainage systems or mobility wheels? We make it happen. Our artisans understand that commercial spaces demand GFRC planters that seamlessly integrate with existing design schemes while making bold statements.


Our Banded Round and Greco Low Bowl designs are particularly popular when it comes to customized options. Their classic profiles serve as great canvases for personalization. Because let’s face it: cookie-cutter solutions don’t often create memorable spaces.

Commercial-Grade Performance

Our GFRC planters aren’t residential planters playing in the big leagues. The GFRC collection is equipped for high-traffic commercial environments where durability and aesthetics must coexist harmoniously. Hotels, shopping centers, office complexes, and event venues all benefit from faux-stone planters that look stunning on opening day and maintain that appearance through countless seasons.


Weather resistance alone sets GFRC apart from alternatives like wood or basic fiberglass. Rain, snow, UV exposure, temperature fluctuations⏤, none of these environmental challenges diminish the structural integrity or visual appeal of these perfectly crafted planters.


Installation flexibility becomes crucial for busy commercial schedules. Our lightweight design means faster installation and reduced labor costs. GFRC planters also boast easier repositioning when space requirements evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GFRC?

GFRC stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete. As the name implies, GFRC planters blend concrete with glass fibers to create pots that have the strength of traditional concrete but with:

   • Greater design flexibility
   • Lighter weight
   • Superior durability

 

How are GFRC planters different from fiberglass planters?

While fiberglass blends resin and glass fibers to create a wide range of lightweight, versatile planters, GFRC planter boxes and pots are crafted specifically to realistically mimic the appearance of stone – without the weight.

 

Designers often choose GFRC when they want the look of concrete or natural stone without the drawbacks of cracking or excessive weight.

 

What are the benefits of choosing GFRC planters?

These products achieve the perfect blend of beauty and practicality. GFRC pots offer:

 

   • The authentic, upscale look of concrete or stone.
   • A wide range of styles and customization options.
   • High strength and remarkable durability, with less weight than solid stone or concrete.
   • Weather- and UV-resistance for year-round use.
   • Longer lifespan than natural materials. Because of their composition, they resist cracking and deterioration much longer than standard alternatives. Many can last for decades!

 

Are there different shapes and sizes of GFRC planters?

Yes. Within the Planters Unlimited GFRC collection, you’ll find dozens of combinations of shapes, sizes, colors, and design features.

 

From classical forms like the pedestaled Imperial Urn and Greco Low Bowl to the slender-profiled Lynx Rectangular GFRC planter box, there’s a form suited to any application. You’ll also find artisanal touches, like the woven pattern of our French Basket planters or the subtle detailing of our Banded Round pots.

 

Each GFRC pot can be customized in terms of size and finish. We can also build pieces to your exact specifications by quote.

 

How heavy are GFRC planters?

GFRC planter boxes and pots are lighter than concrete but heavier than fiberglass. This helps stabilize them in high-traffic or windy areas, yet they are still much easier to place and reposition than solid stone or concrete planters.

 

Can GFRC planters be used outdoors and indoors?

Our GFRC pots are engineered to resist cracking, chipping, and fading. They perform well outdoors in temperature extremes, from high heat to freezing conditions. In coastal environments, salt exposure is not a concern.

 

Indoors, their refined look brings a sophisticated edge to both commercial and residential interiors. You’ll find GFRC planter boxes featured in lobbies, atriums, offices, corridors, and more.

 

What are the best design applications for these planters?

Whether your project calls for sleek minimalism or enduring elegance, our finishes provide a natural fit. Their substantial feel makes them ideal for sites that call for strong design elements that won’t overwhelm the space.
