Choosing the Best Finish for Your Rooftop Terrace Planter System

This guide explores the benefits of our most popular finishes – Corten steel, powder-coated, special metallic colours, and our exclusive Magner finish.

Magner Finish Planters

As our newest addition, the Magner finish resembles the industrial T-wash finish but without many of its disadvantages.

Magner Finish Advantages

• Consistent and Handcrafted Aesthetic: Mimics the look of handcrafted design, adding a unique artisanal character.
• Longevity: Designed to last, comparable to powder-coated durability.
• Industrial T-wash Look: Achieve the T-wash aesthetic without the traditional T-wash process.
• Exclusive Raaft Finish: An exclusive finish from Raaft, setting it apart from conventional options.

T-wash Finish Disadvantages

• Unsustainability and Increased CO₂ Emissions: The Magner finish process reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional T-wash.
• Extended Lead Times: Magner planters may have longer production times.
• Transfer of Corrosion to Clothing: Corrosion over time may transfer to clothing in high-traffic areas.
• Increased Maintenance Requirements: Requires more upkeep than some other finishes.
