Right from our smallest pots to our large planter seaters, there is one common material: fibreglass. At Shiza Studio, we use premium quality fibreglass to produce all our products.
Fibreglass also known as FRP ( fibre-reinforced-plastic ) is a composite material reinforced with fibres like glass, carbon or graphite. Fibreglass is well known for its durability, strength and versatility. It is used across several industries such as marine, construction, transport, etc.
FRP is often interchangeably used with GRP ( glass-reinforced-plastic ) which can be described as a sub-type of fibreglass that specifically deals with glass fibres.
Here is 6 reasons why we at Shiza Studio use fibreglass to produce our products:
1. Built for the UAE climate
In the UAE, the climate is characterised by extreme heat in summer and rains during winter. Due to this, outdoor pots experience varying weather conditions. Ceramic pots, especially, are prone to cracking under these conditions.
However, fibreglass is a highly weather & UV resistant material. Regardless of the heat, rain or cold, fibreglass pots and planters will not break under the pressure. They have the ability to handle UAE’s climate with no trouble at all. Making them the best material for pots and planters.
2. Eco-Friendly
In today’s world of over consumption and low-cost products, product life-spans are rapidly declining. FRP products are highly durable as they do not corrode, rust or rot. FRP guarantees a long lasting product with reduced replacement cycles.
At Shiza Studio, we offer 5-10 years of warranty on our products.
Additionally, all our products are locally manufactured in the UAE. This reduces any transport related carbon emissions, minimizes waste and fosters a circular economy. It also strengthens the supply chain and helps mitigate the reliance on imported goods.
3. High Strength-To-Weight ratio
FRP has an incredibly high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning that while it is strong and durable, it is also lightweight. FRP can also compete with materials such as wood, steel and aluminium.
4. Lightweight
FRP products are lightweight and easy to transport which comes in handy when making pots and planters. The products can be easily transported to the location and do not require much manpower to be moved. Customers themselves can move around the products. Hence, making it easy to decorate their homes.
5.Easily Customizable
The possibilities of product designs when it comes to FRP is endless. FRP is very easily customizable because of its versatility. The shape, size, color, design, texture, finish, etc can all be changed to fit the customer’s needs. Molds can be created to create unique designs that can then be replicated.
Shiza studio offers custom products and customizations on our existing products. Simply contact us to bring your idea to life.
6. Easy to maintain
The maintenance and cleaning of a FRP product is far simpler compared to ceramic pots. Most cleaning can be done using a cloth. Mild soap can be used to clean stains if required.
We at Shiza Studio believe exceptional spaces begin with exceptional designs. We aim to deliver long-lasting, customizable products which can only be achieved with FRP.
