4 Ways restaurant planters benefit every restaurant

In a restaurant, a little greenery may go a long way. Studies show that plants can provide health and psychological advantages in addition to their aesthetic value.

Plants are essential in every restaurant since they:

1. Create private Outdoor Areas & Make guests feel At Home using biophilia

Biophilia is the sense of connection that people have with nature. People are predisposed to appreciate the forms, colors, and sounds of nature. Indeed, biophilic design concepts such as green walls have risen in popularity in recent years. This principle can also be applied to restaurants. Plant life helps people feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease - all of which you want your clients to feel and associate with their restaurant experience.

2. Restaurant planters add a nice touch of décor

Modern restaurant consumers aren't simply interested in the cuisine. They go for the adventure. They like photographing and sharing images of distinctive nuances and enhanced design characteristics on social media. Plants are a simple and powerful way to add color and texture to any room, whether it's a green wall or outdoor pots filled with brilliant flowers or lovely shrubs. They also provide a quick and inexpensive option to modify the mood of your restaurant, whether seasonally or simply to freshen things up, without requiring a complete makeover.

3. Patio planters are extremely versatile and match a variety of restaurants

The possibilities for commercial restaurant planters are limitless. Patio planters let you add greenery both inside and outside, from the patio to the lounge, as well as to line walks, emphasize entryways, separate sections inside the restaurant, or offer filtered vistas, such as on a rooftop terrace.

Patio planters can create privacy screens, form the perimeter of outdoor restaurant dining spaces, or build separate seating areas without the need for fabricated walls.

Ordering custom planters save you money on this kind of infrastructure as the custom-built planter can be made to the exact dimensions you need for your space. Whether you need a tall, long, thin, or large planter, give us a call and we can help you select the best custom planters for your design goals!

4. Improve the air quality in your restaurant

As a bonus, studies have shown that even simple houseplants may eliminate up to 87% of air pollutants in 24 hours. Not only that, but plants have been proven to increase both the physical and mental health of employees and customers, and allow people to focus or relax more and for longer! This is good news for your staff who will appreciate the fresh and healthy environment!

Fiberglass - Undefeatable material for commercial restaurant planters

The best commercial-grade fiberglass is used to construct all of JBD Concepts' planters. Unlike other types of planters such as wood planters, aluminum planters, metal planters, ceramic pots, or concrete containers that degrade over time; fiberglass planters, in our opinion, are the best containers for both commercial and residential landscaping projects.

One of the best strength-to-weight ratios is provided by fiberglass. Research indicates that it can be up to five times stronger than wood and at least twice as strong as steel despite having just one-quarter the density.

Secondly, the lifespan of fiberglass is quite long. It can withstand extreme conditions for more than 15 years without losing any of its protective properties or microstructural integrity. It has a built-in resistance to frost and can withstand severe weather conditions without losing its beauty or quality.

Plus, the waterproof nature of fiberglass and our superior finishes allows the planter to be lightly pressure cleaned with low maintenance costs. If there are small scratches and dings, fiberglass planters are easily refinished with sandpaper and touch-up paint.

And lastly, fiberglass allows for design versatility in planters. Numerous things, such as swimming pools, spas, water features, and landscaping, can be made out of fiberglass. It is also an excellent option for interior design projects including floors, walls, and counters. Fiberglass items are available in a wide range of hues and designs to complement any interior design scheme.

Fiberglass is a superior material in every manner overall. It is affordable, visually attractive, strong, lightweight, and weatherproof.
