Hospice Flowers Care & Maintenance

Our metal ‘Forget Me Not’ flowers are crafted from high-quality metal materials and hand-finished by workshop experts in-house. These metal flowers have predominantly been designed for indoor use or placement within under cover exterior locations only. However, if you do wish to place your flowers outdoors, we have detailed some general advice for you to follow below. Due to the adverse weather conditions seen throughout the colder months of the year, we strongly recommend that these flowers are stored indoors to remain in ‘like-new’ condition.

If your require further assistance regarding the maintenance of your flower, please feel free to contact us via email on info@thebritishironworkcentre.co.uk or via telephone on 0800 6888386.

Hand-Painted Bespoke Metal Flowers

Each handmade from stainless steel, our hand-painted flowers are powder coated and have been treated with a fast-fading solution to help prolong the life of the colour. To preserve the life of the paint and metalwork, we advise customers to use a wax polish at 3 month intervals or as and when is required. These sculptures have been primarily designed for indoor or sheltered outdoor locations, where they can stay clear of adverse and harsh weather conditions. If kept in direct sunlight, the flower will fade over time. Please keep the flower indoors during periods of harsh weather (e.g. during winter and when there is likely to be a frost, snow or heavy rain).

Copper & Brass Bespoke Metal Flowers

Our copper and brass metal flowers have been coated with a tough stove lacquer. This protective layer is designed to break down slowly over time, allowing the copper to have gradual exposure to the elements. Depending on the salt content in the air, the flower will gradually patina down to a vintage Verdigris colour. This is a natural process that the metal goes through and will not affect the integrity and durability of the material itself. If you wish to preserve the bright polished copper or brass appearance, we recommend the regular application of a yacht varnish. This is available from most good DIY or hardware stores.
