| Bronze and Patinas |
The Sun Valley Bronze hardware collection offers unlimited
combinations. Any knob, ring pull or lever can be combined with any of
our wide range of escutcheon plates.
Our catalog is designed as a tool to assist in the custom
hardware selection process. Once a design is chosen, a Sun Valley
Bronze representative can work with you in further specifying
functional and decorative products to coordinate with and enhance your
project.
The oxidation process that Sun Valley Bronze uses to create
patinas is an accelerated version of natural exposure to time, touch,
and environment. Repeated handling of the hardware will lead to the
graceful wear of the patina. Sun Valley Bronze believes patina wear is
an inherent quality of the hardware. As with any hand-applied patina
finish, color variations should be expected, lending character and
distinction to elegant design. |

| Caring For Patinas |
| |
| Bronze is naturally weather resistant. Very little care is
needed to maintain it. Sun Valley Bronze recommends cleaning bronze
hardware with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive or
chemical-based cleaners. Apply several coats of high quality clear
paste wax to protect the finish. |
