PRODUCT:
Small Pewter Refined Bowl.
WHAT ARE MY CHOICES?
OPTIONS.
-
PREMIUM-GRADE:
As our most upscale line, all premium-grade planters are fabricated
in our heaviest gauge materials and offer a completely seamless construction.
This creates a sleek, designer piece suitable for luxury residences as well
as high-end hotels, restaurants, and lobbies.
-
CONTRACT-GRADE:
For the slightly more budget conscious space, our line of contract-grade
planters is fabricated in lighter-gauge materials and features attractive
rolled edges on several corners. This still creates a high quality, durable
piece suitable for stylish residences, hotels, restaurants, lobbies and other
commercial spaces. *Not available on all designs.
-
DRAINAGE:
If your planter is going to be used indoors or outdoors in a covered location,
drainage is not usually necessary and could make a mess. Simply avoid overwatering
and most plants will still thrive without drainage. If your planter will be placed
outdoors or if you require access holes drilled for drip irrigation or lighting,
let us know in advance so we can add these at no additional cost. You can also
easily drill additional holes yourself, but you do run the risk of scratching the
powder coat.
HOW IS THIS PLANTER MADE?
DESCRIPTION.
-
STEP 1:
We start with heavy gauge sheets of aircraft-grade aluminum containing up to
80% recycled content. These sheets are cut into all the individual pieces used to form
your finished planter right here in Los Angeles, CA.
STEP 2:
The pieces are then sent to our bending department where they are sculpted into the shape of your respective planter.
STEP 3:
These pieces are then carefully hand welded together by highly skilled artisans using a series of special techniques to ensure longevity and prevent
warping.
STEP 4:
Once welded, they are sent to our grinding and polishing department where they are perfected before going to the finishing department. Any planters that do not pass our rigorous quality control standards are recycled at this stage and we start over
again.
-
STEP 5:
The planters are then drilled with drainage holes (if requested) and finished in one of our premium, zero VOC, powder coats. Our powder coating process allows us
to reuse any overspray so there is very little waste.
STEP 6:
Finally, our contract-grade planters' edges are sealed with a low VOC silicone. Otherwise, they go directly to shipping and packaging where they make their
way to your doorstep via UPS, FedEx, freight, or common carrier.
