Benefits of Copper for Gas Lanterns


Copper Lanterns are maintenance free and designed to last a lifetime. The natural oxidation process creates a patina which provides a natural barrier to the elements and creates a protective coating. While other metals will deteriorate, copper will stabilize as it ages. Metal will rust without a protective coating, aluminum will deteriorate through electrolytic corrosion, brass will pit unless maintained through periodic polishing and stainless steel will stain. If exposed to salt water conditions the patina will turn green like the Statue of Liberty. Otherwise your lanterns will age into a dark brown like a copper penny. All you need to do is clean the glass in your lanterns from time to time and dust them.
