Altico’s Show Stopping 2026 Range

 

Virtue water features are bigger and better

Following record-breaking sales in 2024 and 2025, Virtue has become Altico’s must-stock range. Committed to supporting customers, 2026 stockholding has been in production for some months to ensure reliable availability for 2026 demand. Furthermore, exciting new products have been launched - doubling the size of the range. New LED- enhanced models offer a soft ambient glow that elevates gardens by day and night. There are also new colour designs including Rustic Brown, Burnt Ember and Emerald Green - all set to strike a chord with garden enthusiasts seeking standout handcrafted designs.

 

 

Loved for their elegant aesthetics and quality, Altico’s Virtue Water Features has experienced growing demand. Crafted from glazed ceramic and heat-fired for resilience, these premium designs offer a refined finish that enhances outdoor spaces.

 

 

Altico unveils innovative stepping stones & wall plaques collection

Following the runaway success of The Stone Merchant British Nature and Wildlife Stepping Stones, Altico is once again setting the pace in landscaping with the Stepping Stones and Wall Plaques collection.

 

This intriguing new product category is more than just a step forward. Each piece in the range is designed to function both as a traditional stepping stone and as a striking wall plaque due to the clever integrated hook. This allows garden enthusiasts to create seamless visual harmony between ground-level pathways and vertical garden spaces.

 

Crafted in a sophisticated ash tone, the range includes four beautifully curated collections featuring animals or abstract patterns in hexagonal, square, and round shapes: (1) Cow & Dogs, (2) Horse & Dogs, (3) Leaf and (4) Rope, Millstone & Woodland.

 

Whether nestled into a flowerbed or hanging proudly on a garden wall, each design adds depth, character, and a fresh dimension to outdoor spaces.

 

Delivered retail-ready the range is supplied on a mixed pallet deal, making it ideal for multi-buy promotions that boost basket value and drives impulse purchases. With accompanying point of sale to promote the concept, retailers will have a fresh, flexible way to inspire customers with coordinated garden décor that’s both functional and artistic.
