Frequently asked questions
What is hand-cast hardware?
Hand-cast hardware is architectural hardware produced by pouring molten metal into a hand-prepared mould — typically using sand-casting or lost-wax casting. The process produces pieces with a tactile depth and subtle variation that machined hardware cannot replicate.
What is the difference between sand-casting and lost-wax casting?
Sand-casting uses a mould pressed into compacted sand, producing a slightly textured surface and economical small-batch runs. Lost-wax casting uses a wax pattern surrounded by ceramic, producing finer detail and smoother surfaces. Casson Hardware lists the casting method on each product page where the manufacturer specifies it.
Why does hand-cast hardware vary between pieces?
Hand-cast hardware retains the small variations of the casting and finishing process — minute differences in surface, weight, and patina that read as evidence of craft rather than as defects.
What does Casson Hardware carry in hand-cast hardware?
Casson Hardware carries hand-cast cabinet pulls, knobs, hooks, door hardware, and architectural pieces from makers including Shayne Fox, Mi & Gei, Maha Alavi, and Spaces Within.
