MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME (MTX) panels are used to ensure the durability and flawless finish of Oxford Planters.

“Our planters are a long-standing investment not a changeable accessory,” says Sarah, Director and Owner of Oxford Planters Ltd.

One of the first companies in the UK to start using MTX over five years ago, Oxford Planters Ltd. has built a reputation for creating a range of high end, exquisitely designed and crafted hardwood planters.

One of the first companies in the UK to start using MTX over five years ago, Oxford Planters Ltd. has built a reputation for creating a range of high end, exquisitely designed and crafted hardwood planters.

“We chose MTX because of its stability; we love that it holds its shape when subjected to the British weather,” said Sarah Pierce, Director and Owner of Oxford
Planters Ltd.

“Equally, the crisp detail on our planters can only be achieved when using a flat surface. To create such perfect detail, we needed a material that is true to form and comfortable to work with – MTX is all of this and more!”

As a modified wood panel, MTX is manufactured using an organic proprietary procedure called acetylation, which helps dramatically reduce the wood’s tendency to absorb moisture. As a result, it achieves an enhanced stability, a longer lasting performance in wet environments and resistance to fungal decay.

These improved performance qualities in the wood don’t forfeit the usual design capabilities of traditional MDF. In fact, when it comes to painting the panels, the improved stability enhances the service life of the coating.

Sarah continues: “As with all the timbers that we use in our joinery work, MTX meets the most exacting of environmental standards as it falls under FSC certification. This was very much a decisive factor when choosing an appropriate material for our painted planters.”
