At Designer Plants, our commitment to excellence starts with our Research and Development (R&D) Team, a group of dedicated innovators who push the boundaries of artificial greenery technology. Our team’s expertise and relentless pursuit of quality have led to the creation of our proprietary UV-Tex™ technology, a groundbreaking advancement in UV protection that sets us apart in the market.
The foundation of our UV superiority lies in embedding UV stabilisers directly into the plastic during manufacturing. Unlike many competitors who rely on surface coatings, our stabilisers are an integral part of the material itself.
Inherent Protection: The UV inhibitors are blended into the raw plastic material, ensuring the entire product is protected, not just the surface.
Long-Lasting Durability: This method prevents degradation caused by prolonged sun exposure, ensuring our plants retain their structure and vibrancy for up to 15-20+ years.
To provide additional longevity and performance, Designer Plants employs a dual-layer defence system.
Base Layer: The UV inhibitors embedded in the plastic provide foundational protection.
Final Coating: A specialised UV-protective spray is applied to the surface during the finishing process. This extra layer shields against environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and pollution, further extending the life of the greenery.
UV protection often affects the appearance of artificial plants by altering the colour. At Designer Plants, we’ve developed a process to counteract this effect:
Enhanced Pigmentation: We use premium colorants and additives to maintain a lifelike appearance while ensuring long-lasting vibrancy.
Realistic Finish: Our colour stabilisation technology ensures the plants remain true to their natural hues, even after years of exposure to intense sunlight.
We carefully select low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a durable and flexible plastic, as the base material for our artificial plants. This plastic is not only perfect for intricate designs but also highly resistant to cracking and deformation under UV exposure.
Durability: LDPE ensures the plants retain their structure, even in harsh climates.
Flexibility: The material allows for detailed and lifelike shapes while maintaining its integrity over time.
Before any product reaches the market, we subject it to rigorous testing in real-world conditions.
Australian Sun Trials: Each product is tested in one of the world’s harshest climates, with exposure to extreme UV levels.
Accelerated Aging Tests: Our products undergo lab simulations to measure their performance and durability over years of use.
What truly sets Designer Plants apart is the exclusive formulation of UV protection materials. Our proprietary blends are fine-tuned to offer the highest level of resistance:
Premium UV Inhibitors: These specialised additives are carefully selected to provide the best protection without compromising appearance.
Refined Manufacturing Process: Developed in collaboration with industry experts, our process ensures the perfect balance of durability and aesthetics.
Many artificial plant manufacturers rely on quick fixes, such as surface sprays, which degrade over time or use low-cost materials that fail to withstand prolonged sun exposure. At Designer Plants, our process ensures:
No Cracking or Fading: Our plants are designed to maintain their form and colour for years.
Safety First: Non-toxic and eco-friendly materials ensure safety for people, pets, and the environment.
Guaranteed Performance: Backed by our 5-year warranty, our UV Vertical Gardens & Hedges deliver peace of mind and long-term value.
