Each knob is individually solid cast in custom designed molds using a stoneware
ceramic very similar to porcelain. Each knob is then bisque fired in the kiln before being hand glazed with multiple brush coats. After the glazing
process, they are glaze fired to over 2100° Fahrenheit to a vitreous rock-hard state. We do all our firing in a precision
digital kiln which insures the most consistent glazes (available in 21 glaze colors). Lastly, we epoxy a marine grade 304 stainless steel stem into each
knob utilizing an extremely strong epoxy that can withstand temperatures of over
400 degrees F. The precision machined stems are given a soft brush finish before assembly. Every knob comes individually packaged and includes a 1 1/8" truss-head screw,
lock washer and 1 3/4" screw for thicker doors or drawers. Included with each shipment are instructions that
give professional advice and tips on proper installation and use.
Because of their unique style, extreme durability and non-corroding
properties, the Earthen Elements Collection © are the perfect accessories for the ultimate kitchen, bathroom, furniture and fine custom cabinetry.
Every knob is backed by a full replacement guarantee against breakage and corrosion for five years from the date of purchase.
