At Designer Plants, we’ve revolutionised the artificial greenery market with our proprietary UV-Tex™ technology—a manufacturing process designed to ensure durability, vibrant appearance, and unparalleled UV resistance. Here’s how our process sets us apart and delivers the best artificial plants for outdoor and high-exposure environments.
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.
American 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 products deliver peace of mind and long-term value.
