Sustainable Chandelier Options

They are perfect for hard-to-reach fixtures, like a chandelier suspended from a high ceiling. There are many different types of LED bulbs, including dimmable and smart lightbulbs. The best thing about LED bulbs is that they use one-sixth the energy of incandescent bulbs to give off the same amount of light.

Sustainable Chandeliers

Of course, a bulb is only one factor that comes into play when you are looking for environmentally friendly lighting. Chandeliers have long been a staple of home design, and they are increasingly being designed in ways that benefit the environment. Sustainable materials are being used, including bamboo and recycled glass, to create chandeliers that are both beautiful and environmentally responsible. Brass and glass are also still used in chandeliers, and it is important to note that both of these materials are infinitely recyclable.

Consider the Company

When you are shopping for environmentally friendly lighting, it is important to consider not only the materials from which it was made, but also the methods with which it was made. Look for morally responsible companies that source locally available materials and use ethical labour practices. Small businesses are often more transparent than larger companies.

You want to work with a business that protects its workers, focusing on the safety and well-being of their team as well as the excellence of its craft. Other factors to consider are the measures the company uses to minimize waste, recycle, and create products that last a long time.

Refurbishment and the Circular Economy

Here is something else to consider: the circular economy of refurbished lighting. Brand-new items, including chandeliers, certainly have their appeal. However, veering from the “take, make, and dispose” pattern of modern society to choose a product that uses no new resources and prevents both waste and environmental pollution is a boldly environmentally friendly move.

This is the circular economy, a concept adhering to principles like resource efficiency, environmental preservation, and material longevity. Chandeliers lend themselves beautifully to refurbishment and restoration, reducing waste and diminishing the need for new manufacturing. When you choose a refurbished chandelier, you conserve resources and reduce your carbon footprint.

Shopping with International Chandeliers

If you already own a chandelier, you may know International Chandeliers for our excellence in cleaning and restoring chandeliers. Our experienced team is well-known for its ability to provide a way array of chandelier-related services, including not only on-site cleaning, but also metal polishing, application of a protective clear coat, painting, welding, refinishing of a variety of metals, soldering, glass cutting, electrical component replacement, and chandelier wiring. It should come as no surprise, then, to learn that we can use those skills to meticulously restore vintage chandeliers, giving them a second life so that they can once again be dazzling centrepieces for dining rooms, living rooms, and hallways in beautiful homes.

Unlike refurbishing electronics, which just brings the electronics up to the same standard as other such mass-produced products, refurbishing chandeliers affords the new owner the opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind piece. The genuine antique and vintage chandeliers we offer have come from a reputable antique dealer before being carefully and masterfully taken apart and thoroughly cleaned.

The chandelier is then completely rewired before being crated and stored, safely and securely, in a temperature-controlled storage facility, until it is sold and delivered to its new home. You can trust that our professionalism is of the highest quality, and our workers are protected, not only by ethical business practices but also by comprehensive insurance.
