Hudson County Courthouse Lighting Replication Fixtures Installed
Grand Light continues to prepare the surface of each component by cleaning, preparing, and media blasting in anticipation of base finish application. During this time, elements are inspected to assure all details are crisp. Each component is then heated before a patina is applied. The chasings are then hand burnished to create a custom iridescent finish.
