Questions from Rickmansworth
Can I have cresting without finials, or the other way round?
Usually yes. Ranges treat cresting and finials as options. Tell us what you want and the quote will list each item.
Is a traditional lantern harder to clean?
There are more bars, so there are more edges for dirt to collect along. Self-cleaning glass helps, but a gentle rinse once or twice a year is still worthwhile.
