OPTIONS

PRODUCT OPTIONS

Tournesol’s products are made-to-order. To easily add features to our planters, check our menu of standard options. Note that not all options are available for all products; we also have capabilities beyond the listed options. For something off-menu, speak to a Tournesol Advisor.

IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

Tournesol’s container irrigation systems are the best in the business, and one of the values of working with Tournesol. Learn more about the systems details below.Speak to a Tournesol Advisor for help selecting irrigation systems for your next project.

CHANGE IN DIMENSION / ANGLED LENGTH MODIFICATION

Don’t see the size you’re looking for? Many of our planters can be ordered with a change in one dimension as a standard option. Modifications to more than one dimension are available but outside of standard options. Speak to a Tournesol Advisor about specifying unique sizes for your project.

TOURNESEAL

Need it watertight? Specify TourneSeal, our waterproofing solution. This is highly recommended for planters that will not have drain holes. We apply specific coatings to our FRP, GFRC, and Steel products, if requested. Follow our warranty requirements and perform a field test for watertightness after installation, before filling with media.

DRAIN HOLES

Whether installing planters on-structure or at grade, thoughtful attention to drainage will keep water and debris from collecting on non-permeable surfaces. We manufacture our GFRC and Steel planters standard with drain holes. For no additional cost, we can produce these planters without holes. Our FRP planters are manufactured without drain holes so they can be drilled as required in the field.

We can add drain holes to FRP planters using our standard drain hole configuration at no additional cost. See chart for details. Unique drainage configurations are available but outside of standard options. Speak to a Tournesol Advisor about specifying unique options for your project.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CARE & MAINTENANCE (GFRC LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE)

Concrete is a porous surface that absorbs moisture and minerals, which can cause changes to the surface’s appearance. Like most concrete surfaces, our GFRC can be sealed using commercially available clear concrete sealers, Tournesol uses Brightstone Sealer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when reapplying.

Planters in exterior applications have standard drain holes in the bottom. As an option, you may request a planter without a drain hole, yet you must use a pump-out (or siphon) tube to remove water. Water standing in the bottom over a long period will harm the plant(s); it may eventually break down the interior damp-proofing material and compromise the structural integrity of (crack or break) the planter if water remains in the bottom of the planter in climates where freezing occurs.

The interior of each planter is sealed with Xypex Concentrate as a water-resistant, damp-proofing layer to prevent most efflorescence (water and dissolved minerals transmitted from the pot’s interior to the outside surface). Small surface stress cracks may eventually appear in the container but are typically restricted to the face coat of the concrete, not the stronger backing coat, and will not affect the overall strength and integrity of the planter. A touch-up kit is sent out with GFRC planters, contact Tournesol for application and repair instructions as needed, per finish.

Though GFRC planters are designed to hold up to the elements, they can still scratch, crack, or chip if care is not taken.

- Do not scrub with abrasives.
- Do not push or pull full-planted pots by the top lip.
- Rinse products well to wash away soap and grease.
- Do not use harsh chemicals on the planters or in proximity.
- Clean GFRC finishes with soap & water applied by a bristle brush to get into the textured areas.
