Oakco Performance Systems · HelioLeaf™
UV-resistant artificial plants & outdoor foliage
HelioLeaf™ is Oakco’s UV-protected foliage system for commercial outdoor artificial trees and plants, specified around material, exposure and project requirements.
Designed for outdoor use
UV protection starts with the foliage material
HelioLeaf™ is designed for projects that need UV-resistant artificial plants with consistent colour and appearance outdoors.
UV stabilisation is incorporated at material level rather than relying only on a surface-applied treatment. The selected foliage, colour and construction are then reviewed against the intended exposure.
For areas with strong sun, heat or long daily exposure, Oakco can review the placement before confirming the recommended specification.
Material approach
Material-level UV stabilisation
The right specification depends on more than a UV label. Material, pigment, foliage construction and exposure should be considered together.
Protection built into the foliage material
UV stabilisers are incorporated during material preparation, helping the protection remain distributed through the selected foliage rather than sitting only on the surface.
Specified for the actual installation
Sun exposure, temperature, placement, colour, foliage material and maintenance access are reviewed before the final recommendation.
Specification process
From material review to project approval
A practical four-step process for outdoor artificial trees, palms, hedges and topiary.
Define the exposure
Share the location, sun conditions and installation setting.
Select the product
Match the foliage type, size, density and colour.
Review evidence
Check available material information and relevant samples.
Confirm the scope
Approve the specification, warranty terms and project details.

Outdoor product range
UV-protected greenery for commercial exterior spaces
HelioLeaf™ can be applied to selected foliage across Oakco’s outdoor range. Availability is confirmed by product, colour and project conditions.
Artificial palm trees
For resorts, pool areas, entrances and exterior hospitality landscapes.
Olive trees
For terraces, restaurant exteriors and Mediterranean-style commercial schemes.
Outdoor plants
Mixed artificial planting for planters, boundaries and low-level landscaping.
Architectural plants
Structured foliage for commercial planters, walkways and entrance zones.
Hedges & topiary
Defined forms for landscape borders, feature planting and decorative screening.
Cactus plants
Low-maintenance visual structure for warm-climate and themed exterior spaces.
Custom project scope
One UV specification does not fit every project
Oakco reviews the whole installation before recommending a HelioLeaf™ configuration.
Project options can include plant or tree size, foliage type, leaf density, colour direction, trunk finish, base construction and sectional assembly.
For artificial plants in direct sunlight, share the project city, installation area, daily exposure and whether the product will be sheltered or fully exposed.
Frequently asked questions
Before specifying outdoor artificial plants
Can HelioLeaf™ products remain outdoors all year?
Selected configurations are intended for outdoor use, but suitability depends on the product, climate, installation method and exposure. Oakco confirms the recommended scope for each project.
Is every Oakco artificial plant UV protected?
No. HelioLeaf™ is available on selected foliage and product configurations. UV performance should be confirmed before ordering.
Can you supply artificial plants for direct sunlight?
Yes, subject to product and exposure review. Please provide the location, daily sun conditions and whether the installation is sheltered or fully exposed.
Can size, shape and colour be customised?
Project customisation can include size, form, foliage density, colour direction, trunk finish and base construction, depending on the product.
What information is available before approval?
Oakco can review material information, relevant samples and the applicable warranty terms for the selected configuration. The evidence supplied depends on the product and project.
Does HelioLeaf™ include a five-year warranty?
A five-year outdoor colour warranty is available for approved HelioLeaf™ configurations. Final coverage and conditions are confirmed in the project documents.
