Led

Thanks to the modular LED planters, the perceptual universe of the terrace is enriched with light, offering unique suggestions and sensations. The planter is designed to support LED strips at the top thanks to a 15 mm edge. The light uniformly illuminates the wall of the planter, which is slightly inclined to achieve a homogeneous and suggestive light distribution.

Features

The planter border looks pleasing because the strip lights are not visible. Passage holes conceal the electrical cables, and it is possible to mount any strip-led available on the market, and a remote control unit on request. The LED strips are mounted on the front walls, and special corner walls are available for mounting the LEDs also on the short sides of the planter.

Technology and functionality

Adjustable bottom

The Cubo modular planter has a steel base that is height-adjustable, both to suit the type of plant (short-root or long-root) and the weight bearing capacity of the terrace slab. The greatest weight of a planter is not rapresented by the material it is made of, but by the weight of the water-saturated soil.

Thermal transmittance

Four Enkadrain panels are inserted in the inner walls of Cubo, which thermally insulate the soil (with a strong reduction in the thermal transmittance of the walls in summer), providing ventilation for the roots, but also for the lower layers of the planter. A watertight shaped PVC bag is placed on the steel bottom, which prevents contact between the walls, soil, humidity and fertiliser and ensures a long lifespan of the planter, as well as the overheating of the bottom.

Water reserve with controlled drainage

The second PVC bottom is equipped with an overflow drain with water retention function. When watering, the water flows through the pipe, arrives directly at the bottom and does not escape unless it reaches the overflow level. Clay and soil are given time to absorb it by capillarity and transfer it to the upper layers, ensuring a uniform moisture level over time. The drain can be cut or lengthened to increase the water reserve, and has a root inhibitor filter that prevents the water outlet hole from becoming blocked.

Ducted drain

The drain can be connected to a hose holder. In this way, excess water can be channelled and conveyed to the nearest terrace drain, without spraying and soiling the floor.
