- What are the products made of?
Our handmade products are made from Jesmonite , which is a two-component casting material that consists of a water-based acrylic liquid and a mineral base.
It is compact, strong and impact resistant. It does not contain solvents, which means that it is extremely environmentally friendly and sustainable. In addition, it hardens in the molds, which is why it is produced in a very low-energy friendly way.
Advantage:
- Solvent free & no VOCs.
- Environmentally friendly and sustainable.
- Fireproof.
- Lightweight.
- Impact resistant.
- How do the products/material feel?
It is quite comparable to stone and has the same soft and smooth surface.
Slightly lighter in weight ( some of our products, such as our Fluted Vase, can weigh up to 1 kg.) , but incredibly strong and impact resistant .
- Why are there air bubbles in my product?
Due to the nature of the material and the manufacturing process, there may be some air bubbles on the surface of our products. Of course, we do our very best to limit these as much as possible, with each and every product. However, as they are all handmade, this is not always guaranteed.
- Why can colors and patterns differ slightly?
Everything is made to order or in small quantities to reduce waste. Therefore, small variations in colors and patterns may occur within the same product list. We do our best to keep everything as consistent as possible, but it really emphasizes the handmade and unique nature of the products.
- Can the products withstand being put in a dishwasher / microwave?
No. Products made from jesmonite must not be placed in the dishwasher or microwave.
- How do I clean and maintain the products?
The product can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Using harsh cleaning products or harsh scrubbing will damage the surface. We also recommend wiping up any strongly colored liquids such as wine or coffee as soon as possible.
Candlesticks: Don't let your candles burn all the way down to the candlestick, as it can damage the surface. Therefore, leave at least 1 cm above the top edge of the candlestick to avoid this. Use warm water to remove wax - do not scratch the surface!
- Can the products withstand water?
All our products are surface treated with a food safe, solvent free, non toxic sealer, making it water resistant - not waterproof.
- Are the products food safe?
Food safe means that it can come into contact with food and does not pose a food safety hazard. Although our products are surface-treated with a food-safe sealer, they have not been tested and are not intended to be eaten.
- Can products be made according to special requests?
YES! We love to adapt our products to your needs and of course we do it at no extra cost. If you see something you like, but prefer it in a color that suits your home better, we will be more than happy to make it for you.
