Residential Entrance Elevation
📍 Private Residence · Rathgar, Dublin
Symmetrical PetalCube™ pair in RAL 7016 Anthracite — instantly elevating entrance kerb appeal and framing modern composite doors with zero rust staining on porcelain tiles.
Why Ordinary Planters Fail in Ireland
Persistent driving rain, sub-zero frosts, and expensive porcelain paving demand marine-grade engineering, not disposable garden-centre pots.
Zero Porcelain Staining
Corten steel bleeds orange rust runoff over expensive porcelain patios. 3mm marine alloy 5754 contains zero iron and never rusts.
Frost & Freeze-Thaw Proof
Terracotta and cast concrete absorb moisture and shatter during Irish frosts. Welded marine alloy is non-porous and freeze-proof.
Zero Wall Bowing
Thin fibreglass and plastic bulge outwards under wet soil weight. 3mm folded plate maintains crisp, laser-straight edges for life.
Exact RAL Window Match
Qualicoat architectural powder-coating to exact RAL Classic shades (Anthracite 7016, Jet Black 9005, Agate Grey 7038).
Designed For Modern Irish Homes & Venues
EWI & Wrapped Homes
Freestanding planters provide kerb appeal without puncturing external wall insulation or risking moisture leaks.
Porcelain Patios
BloomLine™ troughs zone outdoor dining areas cleanly. Built-in riser feet ensure free airflow drainage.
Symmetrical Entrances
Flank front doors with PetalCube™ columns to create instant architectural symmetry, luxury, and property value.
Commercial Parklets
Heavy-duty anti-vandal planters defining street dining boundaries for cafes, hotels, and council urban greening.
Why Architects Specify 3mm Marine Aluminium
Most outdoor planters fail in Ireland because they cannot endure persistent driving rain and freeze-thaw cycles. Corten steel bleeds orange rust runoff that permanently stains porcelain patio tiles. Timber rot and moss take hold within 3 years. Cast concrete is prone to micro-cracking and weighs over 100kg.

Will aluminium planters leave rust stains on porcelain patio tiles?
No. 3mm marine-grade aluminium 5754 contains zero iron, meaning it physically cannot rust. Integrated 15mm riser feet also allow free water flow underneath.
Can you match Munster Joinery or Rationel window RAL codes?
Yes. We powder-coat in any standard RAL Classic or textured architectural shade (such as RAL 7016 Anthracite, RAL 9005 Black, RAL 7038 Agate Grey, DB 703).
