Our innovative ConClay™ planters are true works of art, each one unique, and designed to endure throughout all of life’s seasons. 

The durable construction of every ConClay™ planter begins by hand-pouring our proprietary, all-weather concrete composite into its distinctive form. This inner structure is extremely strong and all-weather resistant. Each form is then time cured to a rock-like durability before being hand finished in naturally pigmented, raw Belgian clay, giving every planter a unique natural texture.

Large planters are designed with a drainage hole, and we can add drainage holes to smaller planters upon request for no additional charge. 

Our Belgian clay finish offers several key benefits to ensure our ConClay™ planters endure throughout all the seasons, and maintain their beautiful, organic look for many years. 

1. Enhanced Moisture Retention: Clay is naturally porous, allowing it to retain moisture better than concrete alone. This can help plants stay hydrated for longer periods, reducing the frequency of watering.

2. Improved Insulation: Clay provides better insulation for the soil, protecting plant roots from extreme temperature fluctuations. This is particularly beneficial in environments with significant temperature changes between day and night.

3. Aesthetic Appeal: The combination of clay and concrete can create a more visually appealing finish, offering a warm, earthy texture that complements the more industrial look of concrete. This can add a layer of natural beauty to the planter, making it more suitable for various design styles.

4. Breathability: The porous nature of clay allows for better air circulation to the roots, which is essential for healthy plant growth. Concrete alone can sometimes lead to soil compaction, restricting airflow.

5. Weight Management: Clay is lighter than concrete, so incorporating clay elements can reduce the overall weight of the planter, making it easier to move while still maintaining durability.

6. Sustainability: Clay is a natural material, and its use can reduce the reliance on synthetic materials, making the planter more eco-friendly.

These benefits make Belgian clay an innovative finish for our ConClay™ planters, particularly for those looking to combine durability with better conditions for plant health.

Our ConClay™ planters are sealed to make the planters waterproof and protect them against moss—we recommend cleaning, if needed, with only clean water and a sponge.  

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your planters, please adhere to the following care cleaning instructions:

• Cleaning: Clean your planters using only water and a soft brush.

• Avoid Chemicals: Do not use any chemicals or cleaning agents as they can damage the natural materials.
  

• Avoid Pressure Washers: Do not use pressure washers for cleaning, as the high pressure can harm the handmade structure and the natural products used in the planters. The planters are sealed to avoid UV and moss, and in pressure washing them the protection will be removed. A simple hose with mild pressure will do the job!

Our planters are crafted with care from natural materials, and these guidelines will help ensure they remain in excellent condition.
