Our bins in detail
Made from materials such as Magnelis steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel or Corten steel, each choice of metal is meticulously selected according to your specific requirements and project specifications. TRACER's advanced manufacturing technology guarantees an impeccable finish with invisible, aesthetic welds, as well as enhanced thermal protection thanks to NAP50 felt. Our manufacturing processes also ensure high weather resistance and durability, prolonging the life of your planters and reducing maintenance requirements.
System composition
Metal plates
TRACER planters are made from metal plates. These plates are bent and welded together to create strong, durable structures. Materials used include:
Magnelis steel: An innovative metal offering exceptional anti-corrosion protection.
Galvanized steel: Known for its resistance to rust and corrosion, ideal for outdoor use.
Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and easy to shape, perfect for bespoke designs.
Stainless steel: Stainless steel offering superior durability and aesthetics.
Corten steel: Known for its unique patina and weather resistance, providing a distinctive aesthetic touch.
Stopper
The stopper is a crucial element in the design of our planters. It closes off the planter, ensuring not only good looks but also optimum protection for the plants. The plug prevents debris and insects from entering the drainage system, contributing to plant health and longevity.
Pissette
The pissette is a water drainage device located below the planter, often in a central position. It provides efficient drainage management, preventing water stagnation that could harm plants. The pissette is designed to evacuate excess water in a controlled manner, ensuring an optimal environment for plant growth.
Omegas
Omegas are elements welded to the underside of the planter. They play an essential role in the structure and functionality of TRACER planters. The omegas allow the planter to be raised and adjusted to the size of the planter(s), ensuring stability and a perfect fit. This feature is particularly important to ensure that water runs off properly and that the planter remains stable, even on uneven surfaces.
Insulation
Insulation is strategically placed at the bottom of the planter, 2-3 cm thick. Its main role is to provide thermal insulation and extra protection for plant roots. By regulating soil temperature, it helps to maintain a stable environment conducive to plant growth, whatever the season.
RHEO DAL
RHEO DAL is an additional layer placed on top of the insulation, following the U-shaped contour of the planter. This feature is crucial as it holds the soil inside the planter, preventing erosion while maintaining good water retention. This design also helps to stabilize the planter as a whole, ensuring that the soil remains in place even during severe weather events such as high winds or heavy rain.
