About our Concrete Vessels
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Concrete Candle Vessels:
Q1: Why should I choose a concrete candle vessel for my candles?
A: Concrete candle vessels provide a modern and elegant aesthetic while being durable and versatile. Our commitment to sustainability includes using a non-toxic, planet-friendly sealer for an eco-conscious choice.
Q2: Is the concrete vessel safe for my candles and the environment?
A: Yes, we prioritize safety and sustainability. Our concrete vessels are sealed with a non-toxic and environmentally friendly sealer, ensuring a protective barrier between the concrete and the candle. They're crafted with the planet in mind.
Q3: Can the concrete vessels crack over time?
A: We take extra care in selecting quality concrete and use proper sealing techniques to minimize the risk of cracking. Follow our care instructions to ensure the longevity of your concrete vessel, and avoid placing hot candles on cold surfaces.
Q4: Will the eco-friendly sealer affect the scent or performance of the candle?
A: No, our carefully chosen non-toxic and planet-friendly sealer is designed to have minimal impact on the scent or performance of your candles. It protects the concrete while maintaining the integrity of your candle's fragrance.
Q5: Why do I see fragrance oil on the surface of my concrete candle after burning?
A: The appearance of fragrance oil on the surface, often called "sweating" or "weeping," is a natural occurrence due to the interaction of temperature and wax composition. Here's why it happens:
1. Temperature Changes: As your candle burns, it generates heat inside the container. This warmth can cause fragrance oils to evaporate and then condense on the cooler surface of the concrete as the air cools down.
2. Dilution with Wax: Fragrance oils may mix with the melted wax as the candle burns. When the wax solidifies on the cooler concrete surface, it can trap and display the fragrance oils.
While sweating is generally cosmetic and doesn't affect the candle's performance, we understand the importance of a clean appearance. Rest assured, our candles are crafted with care, and this effect is a natural part of the candle-burning experience.
Q6: How should I clean my concrete candle vessel?
A: Cleaning is easy and eco-friendly. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe away any wax or soot. Our non-toxic and environmentally friendly sealer makes the concrete less porous, simplifying maintenance. Avoid abrasive cleaners for the best results.
Q7: Will the appearance of the concrete change over time?
A: While concrete is resilient, factors like soot and environmental conditions can affect appearance. Our eco-friendly sealer helps maintain the vessel's look over time.
Q8: How do I maintain my concrete candle vessel over the years?
A: Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage. Clean as needed using mild methods, and consider resealing the vessel periodically to ensure its longevity. Follow our care instructions for optimal performance, and feel good about your eco-friendly choice.
Q9: Is the weight of the concrete a concern?
A: Concrete is naturally heavy, providing stability for your candles. Ensure the surface where you place the vessel can support its weight to prevent any accidental tipping.
