About Stonelite
The Rago range of planters are manufactured in Stonelite, an eco-friendly material that has demonstrated excellent resilience in many climates over the last decade.
Whilst it has similar qualities to Fibreclay, different manufacturing techniques and blends offer improved durability, UV resistance and colour stability (with less leeching).
Stonelite mostly consists of naturally occurring magnesium dredged from lakes and rivers. This is mixed with sand and coloured powder, before being pasted over a small fibreglass mesh for added stability and improved frost resistance.
Over 95% of the composite is biodegradable. The manufacture of Stonelite requires only a fraction of the energy used for other planter types as it sets naturally, without kiln firing or machine moulding.
