Tournesol Bioretention Planters Aluminum
BIORETENTION PLANTERS ALUMINUM
BIORETENTION PLANTERS ALUMINUM
Our bioretention planters are pre-built and installed on-site to collect stormwater from drain leads/downspouts.
Plants and media filter water, removing organic and inorganic solids, and slowly release the water into the storm drains, reducing peak discharge rates. We offer a range of standard sizes in both aluminum and GFRC - Glass-fiber reinforced concrete, but most bioretention projects are custom.

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.
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.
SCOOPS
Square and rectangular planters can be connected end-to-end to create linear runs. “Scoops” lower adjacent planter walls allowing them to hide beneath the soil surface, creating a continuous planting along the top. Connector kits to gang planters together are available.
nique Scoops such as those placed to create t-shapes or corners are available but outside of standard options. Speak to a Tournesol Advisor about specifying unique scoops 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.
