plantART Announces a New Department Specialising in Supply, Delivery and Installation of Large Interior Artificial Trees
Architects, designers and property owners are always looking for ways to install very large natural trees into buildings. Many prominent buildings throughout the world have large spectacular and majestic fresh tropical trees. Maintenance can be difficult and expensive similarly interior conditions must be suitable for fresh trees. plantART’s new department can now provide business with an artificial alternative to overcome these difficulties and costly overheads by using large artificial trees.
Durham, United Kingdom, September 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- plantART is expanding on its 27 years of industry knowledge, expertise and experience by customising specialised skills to provide its customers with a fully inclusive large artificial trees, palms and bamboo supply, delivery and installation service.
Plus the introduction of a new comprehensive range of fire proof trees.
Over years various findings have shown peoples stress levels and blood pressure in the presence of plants has reduced. People feel comfortable around plants. Plants and trees play an important role in work places, offices, public spaces and hospitals etc. People often take comfort from the soothing presence of plants. Similarly plants play an important calming role in locations where peoples stress levels often increase as a result of frustrating factors associated with large busy places like airports, shopping malls, rail and bus stations etc.
plantART will now provide large artificial trees to create the Wow! Effect, plus their imposing, majestic and soothing presence adds character, interest and divine status to many large spacious buildings.
plantART answers the question of how does one get big trees, 7m high with 3 to 4m diameter canopies, giant bamboo up to 15m high or 7m high palms which obviously won’t fit through a 2m wide double door, up and around stairways then to possibly negotiate fire doors?
So how is it done? Well trees don’t come with bendy trunks and branches neither do they have crushable canopies.
The simple answer is by providing all the varieties, sizes and styles in “kit form.” This means large trees up to 7m high are delivered to site in manageable boxes ready for easy assembly.
The tree trunks and branches are made using natural kiln dried wood from tree plantations which are groomed as part of a renewable regeneration management program. Internal steel reinforcement and steel tubular extension joints are fitted to ensure strong construction and easy assembly. Leaves are made using man made polyester silk fabric: hence the reason why artificial plants are often referred to as silk plants. Modern processing techniques allows for perfect colour, shading and leaf characteristics, which are realistic reproductions of the real thing. Improved production techniques now allows the artificial leaves to be inherently fire resistant which is now a requirement for artificial trees fitted into public places.
Owing to the solid weight of real large diameter tree trunks, especially those, which have natural interesting bark textures, such as olives, many large artificial trees are reproduced using an extremely realistic process using GRP (fibreglass). GRP trunks are strong, light, hollow and easy to handle.
Inherent fire retardant foliage sprays, artificial leaves, are now available on many species of large artificial trees. “Spray,” a term used to describe a small “fan” shaped branch of leaves, around 18 inches (45cm) long with up to 35 leaves depending on the variety. Sprays are stiffened using steel wire, which in turn is coated with coloured and textured fire proof PVC. This allows the leaves to be shaped to retain their form.
Regulations require artificial plants and trees which are installed into public spaces such as hotels, restaurants, shopping centres, airports, swimming pools etc. to have valid fire certificates which satisfy the required standards for testing flame proofs plants.
