Luxury lighting is well worth the initial investment. Copper Lantern specializes in high-end exterior wall lanterns, hanging lanterns and post top lanterns that can be initially expensive. Top quality solid metals and expert craftsmanship do not come cheap. Since lighting is installed near the end of a construction project you can be unprepared for the cost of luxury lights. You may pay more on your initial purchase but it is an investment in an asset for your home that will pay for itself over time. When you realize that these lanterns are built to last a life time you will come to see what a good investment copper or brass lanterns handmade in the USA will prove to be.
Solid copper or brass has many benefits. Copper is more tenable and can be bent and cut to create beautiful detail. Copper and brass age with a beautiful patina over time with no pitting or peeling. Brass structural supports add stability and strength. Soldered joints are less corrosive. Copper Lantern specializes in luxury lighting with no punch riveting. Other lanterns punch rivet the joints that eventually corrode and fall apart. When Mother Nature lashes out with sustained winds, pelting rain, or severe temperatures Copper Lantern lanterns are built to withstand these pressures and will not buckle or bend, or droop or sag over time. Other lanterns are constructed of lower grade metals that bend and sag under the weight of the fixture. Other lanterns do not use high gauge brass for structural support and can eventually pull away from the wall or bend on top of a post. Door hinges and latches corode and fall off . Copper Lantern lanterns are handcrafted with quality construction and we stand by our product year after year. Panes of glass are easily replaced and our lanterns can be repaired at a minimal cost. Copper Lantern designs never go out of style or production. Years later you can replace fixtures that will still match.
Luxury lights are one of the most important decorating decisions you will need to make. In fact, your decorating should revolve around your lighting choices. Whether choosing your interior or exterior fixtures you want the style, the finish and the size to be considered early on in the budget. Keep in mind that not all the outside lanterns need to be the same size or even the same models so long as the finish is the same. You can mix and match similar pieces to fit your budget. Size can change the price of a fixture significantly. For example, your side door does not require a wall lantern the same size as the front door. But your entrance lighting should be where you put your money. That is where you want to make a statement.
When building a new home or renovating an existing home make sure you budget for quality outdoor lanterns. Lighting makes a huge first impression. Too many people don’t leave enough money in the budget for lighting and often regret it. Not only do handcrafted lanterns add value to your home but they will endure for years to come. Luxury lighting will pay for itself over the years with less maintenance and will not need to be replaced in 5 years. In my book that makes perfect sense, dollars and cents!
