Planters in Fit-Out Projects: Doing Them Right, Without the Headaches

If you work in fit-out, you’ll know how often planters crop up in briefs these days. Biophilic design, wellbeing, and sustainability aren’t just buzzwords anymore - they’re line items clients expect to see delivered.

The challenge? Planters look fantastic on handover day, but if the liners fail, they quickly turn into a problem. Water damage, stained joinery, call-backs… we’ve all seen it happen. And nobody wants to be back on site fixing leaks when the client’s already moved in.

That’s why we do what we do.

The Problem with Quick Fixes

Plastic drop-ins, pond liners, improvised waterproofing - they can work for a while, but long-term, they’re a gamble. They rarely fit perfectly, they don’t last, and if they go wrong, it’s your name (and budget) on the line.

So, what’s the alternative? Something that just works, quietly, in the background, for the life of the project.

Where GRP Inserts Come In

We make our liners from fibreglass (GRP) because it ticks the boxes fit-out companies care about:

• They’re made to measure, so they slot neatly into joinery.
• They’re seamless, so leaks aren’t an issue.
• They’re light and easy to handle on site.
• They last for years, so you don’t get call-backs.

Nothing flashy - just reliable, watertight, and fit-for-purpose.

Doing Things the Right Way

For us, it’s not only about what the liners do, but how we make and deliver them. Fit-out projects are under more pressure than ever to meet sustainability goals, so we’ve built that into everything we do:

🌱 Return & Repurpose – At the end of their life, inserts can come back to us for recycling.

🌱 Sustainable Resin – Lower-impact materials to reduce carbon footprint

🚚 Zero Emission Delivery – Our liners arrive clean, green, and on time.

📦 Zero Packaging – No excess waste cluttering your site.

📞 Good Communication – Straightforward updates and support throughout the project.

Simple steps, but they make life easier on site and align with what clients are now asking for.

A Quick Thought

If planters are going into your next project, it’s worth thinking about them early. A liner might feel like a small detail, but getting it wrong can cause big headaches. Getting it right? It’s one less thing to worry about.
