FAQs
What is Aluzinc?
Aluzinc is a metal alloy coating composed of aluminum (approx. 55%) and zinc (approx. 43.4%), with a small amount of silicon. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making it a superior alternative to traditional galvanized steel or zinc for outdoor use.
How long will this planter last?
This planter is tested for over 10 years and is designed to resist rust and corrosion, even in harsh weather conditions. Its Aluzinc construction ensures significant longevity.
Can I use this planter on a carpeted surface indoors?
Yes, the planter comes with a bung that fits into the drainage hole. Ensure this bung is securely in place to prevent any water leakage onto your carpet.
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
Yes, each planter comes with a drainage hole and a bung, allowing you to control drainage for indoor or outdoor use.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, this window box is also available in Small (40cm) and Large (80cm) sizes.
What is the warranty period for this planter?
The product information does not specify a warranty period, but it is built for over 10 years of use due to its robust construction.
How should I clean the black finish?
For routine cleaning, use a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking indoors when bung is in place
Ensure the bung is fully and securely inserted into the drainage hole. Check the bung for any damage that might prevent a watertight seal.
Plants are not thriving
This is likely related to soil, watering, or sunlight, not the planter itself. Ensure adequate drainage (remove bung outdoors), use appropriate potting mix, and place the planter in a location that receives the correct amount of sunlight for your chosen plants.
Minor scratches or scuffs on the surface
The Aluzinc material can develop minor marks over time. These are typically superficial and do not affect the planter's performance or durability. You can gently wipe the area with a damp cloth.
