What to Ask Before Ordering Custom Alabaster Lighting

Custom alabaster lighting can solve a room problem that standard fixtures cannot, but it should be planned carefully. A few clear questions before ordering can prevent most surprises later.

Confirm Dimensions

Share ceiling height, table length, island length, room width and any clearance limits. For wall sconces, include mounting height and distance from mirrors, beds or door trim.

Confirm Finish and Stone Character

Natural alabaster varies in tone and veining. Ask what level of variation to expect and whether the metal finish, canopy and hardware can be coordinated with the room.

Confirm Electrical Details

Check voltage, bulb type, dimmer compatibility, wet or damp location needs, and whether the fixture should meet any project-specific installation requirements.

Confirm Timing and Delivery

Custom fixtures may need production time before shipping. Confirm estimated production, packing method, delivery area and what happens if replacement parts are needed.
