Energy efficiency includes sealing all places where air can get in, but making it hard for air to enter presents some challenges when it comes to ventilating exhaust. Air must get in to replace the air being removed, and heaters and air conditioners are not always up to it. When an exhaust appliance removes air from your house, an equal volume of air must enter. In older homes, the leaks and drafts present would supply any necessary makeup air. In newer or more energy-efficient homes, there aren't enough random air leaks around windows, doors, and mud sills to make up the exhaust air.

Available in all standard materials and finishes. Customization of size, shape, finish, material, or design in general is possible as we make each product to order. Most fixtures are fitted for 120V A-19, candelabra, or self-contained LED or CFL lamps. Most electric light fixtures are UL listed. Check with us for custom applications. Marrying the craftsman and art deco lighting genres, this hand crafted wall sconce has a unique identity while maintaining a broad appeal with praline glass and "Venetian" oil rubbed bronze finish on copper framework.

Whether you are looking for a chandelier or a basic copper light fixture we make each sconce, pendant, ceiling fixture, gas lantern, or post lantern to order at our studio in Austin Texas. Our keen staff is always ready to work with you, your designer, builder, or contractor to achieve the perfectly made copper, brass, bronze, nickel-silver, stainless or wrought iron product you desire. Most electric light fixtures are UL listed.

These finishes are specifically designed for sinks, range hoods and other kitchen and bath products. Note: Patinas may vary slightly from samples. Sink basins are unsealed (living finish). Living finish will change with time and use. Apron finish is sealed and will retain original finish. We seal all type A and B finishes with lacquer. Please specify if a fixture will be for an exterior application so that we can apply a highly UV resistant lacquer to ensure a greater longevity of the finish. Please note that when totally exposed to the elements, even the UV resistant lacquer will begin to break down after a minimum of five years (with constant exposure) and the base metal will begin a natural patination process.
