Materials & Care
Materials: The Williamsburg window box includes a stainless steel planting box with an antique copper finish and thick iron mounting brackets with a black powder-coated protective finish.
Antique copper finish process: The planter is electroplated with a copper finish, then hand-rubbed to create an antique look, and sealed with a high-grade clear-coat protective sealer.
Optional annual protection: You may apply a clear spray sealant once per year (inside and outside) for added protection—some customers also apply it before first use.
-
Avoid constant overflow: Minerals/chlorine/soil additives can contribute to spotting if water runs down the exterior.
-
Not designed as a fountain: Continuous water exposure is not recommended.
-
Winter storage: Optional. Clean with mild soap + water, dry thoroughly, then store if preferred.
-
Mounting note: Brackets are not designed for metal railings. For railing mounting, explore HoldItMate® systems.
