  1. What is Stone by OceanSide? (top)

    "Stone" is a proprietary nonmetallic composite material that has been specifically formulated and perfected by OceanSide Coastal Lighting Company. Through the use of special tooling, Stone is molded into patented designs that combine beauty and durability that are unavailable in more traditional materials used in lighting such as brass and cast aluminum.

    Stone by OceanSide enjoys several inherent features that make it especially effective in coastal environments. Stone will not, and cannot, rust or tarnish - ever! Unlike metal lights, lanterns made of Stone are seamless and contain no unsightly welds or joints. Also unique to Stone, is the fact that its color is molded throughout the material - there's no need for painting or resurfacing for the life of the fixture. Simple maintenance will keep a Stone lantern looking fresh and beautiful for years.

  2. How do I care for my Stone lanterns by OceanSide? (top)

Even though Stone lanterns do not rust or tarnish, Nature's coastal environment will require you to occasionally clean your Stone fixtures in order to keep them looking fresh and beautiful.

Care, however, is easy. Here are some tips:

    1. To clean the Stone material itself, several common household products work very well. In fact the best thing we have found to remove ocean salt residue and to renew the original finish is Liquid Gold found in any supermarket or hardware store. Simply apply Liquid Gold to a soft, clean cloth and wipe away any residue. For extreme buildups, secondary applications may be necessary.
    2. To clean lenses, either apply a typical glass cleaner, like Windex, using a clean nonabrasive cloth, or remove the lens from the fixture and put it in your dishwasher. It will come out great!
  1. Where can I buy OceanSide lighting products or see samples? (top)
