What is Fiberstone?
Fiberstone is a blend of fiberglass and crushed stone. Fiberstone is a very versatile material that can be made to look like anything. It can have a rough, sandy texture that makes it look like real stone or finished concrete. Fiberstone can also have a smooth to slightly textured finish. Such materials produce a durable substance that is ideal for indoor and outdoor use at any temperature. It can be polished, raw, or a weathered, aged appearance. Whatever feeling or aesthetic you can put your mind to, there is sure to be a piece of fiberglass pottery that fits your exact specifications.
A lot of people, while decorating their gardens, unfortunately, neglect the impact that fiberstone pots and planters can have. This may be due to the reality that people are not aware of the level of detail and aesthetics to which Fiberstone pots and planters can be built. It’s because, in general, the knowledge of garden Fiberstone pots is very small. As far as Fiberstone planters are concerned, the reactions of people vary from being slightly interested to being seriously puzzled. There is therefore an urgent need to spread awareness of this great material for home decoration as well as gardens.
Apart from the noticeable benefit of boosting the aesthetics of one’s home and garden, large Fiberstone pots and round Fiberstone pots are also very sturdy. That is because they are made from stronger fiberglass materials than conventional clay pots. As a result, they have a longer life span, can handle more heat, and can even cope with a wide variety of temperature conditions. This is especially useful when a person lives in the tropics, where cycles of sunshine are usually interspersed with heavy rains. However, this is also crucial for us New Yorkers, as the freezing cold during the winter can often leave other pieces of pottery damaged. Thankfully, fiberglass pottery is able to withstand even the coldest of New York winters.

Lightweight Cement Planters
If you are looking for a durable outdoor solution to your potted plant, consider our lightweight cement planter options. Dressed to look like cement, they are made from a resin polymer material. Resin is a composite blend of polymer similar to plastic, but with the durability of true cement. It is composed of an inner core, followed by a protective layer of thick polyurethane, and a textured outer shell. These components all come from recycled materials, so you can count on these planters as an eco-friendly option for your home or garden.
Resin planters are durable, resilient, and surprisingly lightweight. Unlike regular planters, resin planters will not swell and contract with the seasons. When temperatures fluctuate, you can count on these planters to retain their shape without cracks or compromises that would cause other planters to break down. You can also count on these planters to not corrode or lose their color in the rain, snow, or sun. Their lightweight design and durability allow for easy moving, and the ability to transfer plants with the changing seasons – they are otherwise completely maintenance-free.

Why Fiberstone?
Fiberstone is a mixture of fiberglass and crushed stone. Fiberstone is a versatile material. It can have a rough and sandy texture which makes it look and feel like real stone or finished concrete. It can also have a smooth to lightly textured finish. These materials create a durable material that is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use at any temperature. It can be colored, natural, or have a weathered aged look.
The combination of these materials used to make fiberstone produces the appearance of natural stone but is lightweight and more versatile than natural stone. Additionally, fiberstone is easier to move than identical concrete and natural stone products. The reinforced fiberglass backing of fiberstone makes it less fragile than concrete.
All of these pot finishes have all the benefits of fiberglass planters in that they can be used indoors or outdoors fiberstone, so durable that pots and planters can be filled with dirt and left outdoors year-round. No more hauling your planters inside every winter. As with fiberglass all pieces are hand-finished and will vary from piece to piece.
