On a recent visit to Sidmouth in South Devon, an English seaside town with many lovely period buildings, it was noticeable that despite the houses and hotels being beautifully presented, very few had appropriate door fittings, which would have given the finishing touch. In some places small rusting cheap door knockers were used, with door handles that didn't even match.
It is understandably that the sea air effects cheaper brass imports, but it is possible now to get superb designs and quality stainless brass which stands up well to the salty air.
Stainless Brass (PVD) has 25 year guarantee against tarnishing, corrosion and abrasion. This specialist process is time-consuming and more expensive than standard brassware, but the long term advantages well outweigh extra costs and are already appreciated by many private and commercial users.Stainless Brass (P.V.D.)is a process of the 1990's.
This brass has no laquer covering which may break down due to modern day factors such as acid rain, carbon monoxide emissions and airborne chemical particles.
An extra bonus is the fact that it doesn't need daily polishing to maintain an attractive finish and lustre.
Difference Between Cast and Malleable Iron
The owners of Architectural Ironmongery Ltd would like to explain the difference between malleable iron and cast iron ironmongery. The products we sell from Kirkpatrick are all malleable. We feel that we need to explain this due to the cheaper cast iron products that are now are arriving in the country, many of which are identical in size, shape and general appearance. The difference is that cast iron will break.
