Lightweight Metal Effect
The Lightweight Metal effect range is for those looking for an aged and rustic look.
The Metal Effects include Rust and Patina. The Patina is a special order for all except the Egg Planter which is stocked.
Please contact our team on 1300 730 269 regarding special orders.
Rust colour finishes contain rust and have the potential to leach rust onto surfaces. We recommend sealing all rust finished products with Porters Rust Seal (Available at Dulux paint Stock lists).
Potsonline Metal Effect Finish collection is a premium grade pure
fibreglass product. This range of pots is extremely lightweight. It is strong
and durable which makes it suitable for both residential and commercial
projects. Popular because they are lightweight, but it is also because of their
superior quality and design. There are a variety of size and designs available.
Potsonline specialize in large pots, and when you combine that with
the lightweight materials used, it makes the pots perfect for those projects
requiring large pots. Putting a large pot in place that is not lightweight can
be quite a challenge. These pots can be moved by children. They can also handle
the wear and tear due to superior quality.
Potsonline Lightweight Metal
Effect is part of our Custom Design Pots service; however, all metal effect
finishes are completed at our premises in Dural. We manufacture to your specifications,
but custom container volume shipments cannot go direct to commercial sites from
our overseas factory, since metal effect finish can only be applied by our team
in Sydney (please discuss with our team on options). Potsonline has partnered
with developers, architects, builders, cafes, restaurants, hotels, and
landscapers on a vast number of commercial projects. All fibreglass planters can be prone to surface hairline cracking due
to shrinkage and expansion in weather. (Note: this is not structural damage and
will not put the structural quality of the the pot at at risk). For aesthetic
purposes, fillers can be used in any cracks, sanded, and then painted to match
original colour finishes. All cube and rectangular planters will not
have a perfect straight edge due to the handmade manufacturing process, and
there will be tolerances when butting up against walls or other planters.
Appearance of warping and bowing can be hidden with ground covering plants when
cube planters and rectangular planters are aligned against a wall or another
planter. Perfect straight edges can only be achieved with the highly costly use
of steel or rotary moulded plastic, so fibreglass provides up much more
economical alternative.
Potsonline uses quality primer and Porter’s metal effect paint. All
pots in this range are also sealed internally with bitumen waterproofing seal.
As Metal Effect finishes have the potential to leach onto surfaces, customers
can apply Porter Rust Sealer by simply brushing on. This is a clear water-based
sealers and available in 1 litre and 4 lite cans, Customers can purchase this
at any Dulux Paint Stock list.
