While the use of all factory provided fasteners are required to comply with the warranty, these fasteners are not included in the mechanical warranty. FR International does not assume any responsibility for damage due to mishandling, abuse, misuse, accident, improper installation, extreme temperature conditions, or metal deterioration due to exposure to atmospheric conditions beyond the control of Frascio.

Finish Maintenance
Brass and Sealed Bronze
Polished, and clear coated brass and bronze will age. Clear coating can break down due to atmospheric conditions, exposure to cleaning products, paints, stains, or even water. Cleaning should be done with only a damp rag (water only). Apply a non-abrasive wax (such as beeswax) to the entire visible trim and polish with a soft cloth. Please follow the wax manufacturer’s instructions.
Stainless Steel
Exposure to certain chemical or environmental conditions may build up surface oxidation. This is not a defect in the stainless steel but a reaction on the surface of the finish to the chemical environment which can be removed with a non abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Cast Bronze Living Patina Finish
The oxidized patina applied to Renaissance bronze products is known as a “living finish” which means it will change with time, touch, climate, etc. Because each product will be exposed to a varying set of conditions, we do not warranty the finish of our patinated bronze products. Cleaning is not recommended as patina can be removed, but if necessary use only a damp rag. If desired, apply a non-abrasive wax (such as beeswax) to the entire visible trim and polish with a soft cloth. Please follow the wax manufacturer’s instructions.
Britannium
Britannium material is a soft pewter-like alloy with a living finish, as are pewter and silver. oxidation or tarnish may develop, which can be easily removed. Britannium can be cleaned with a damp rag. Silver polish can be used to restore full luster as desired.
