weather instruments by
Our heirloom-quality home and
garden products are hand-assembled in Burlington, Vermont.
We use only the finest materials in our home and garden products, including
solid brass and copper housings, optical-quality glass and precision components.
Our weather instruments are built to be as durable as your house and to truly enhance your view.
Most thermometers are available in Celsius as well as Fahrenheit.
All of our products have a "living finish", they develop a natural patina with age. We do not apply a protective coating to the surfaces of our outdoor products, because no clear coating lasts as long as the raw metal itself.
Our products will never peel, flake or rust like inferior products.
We proudly offer:
Brass tube thermometers (indoor and outdoor, all mercury-free).
Brass dial hygrometers/thermometers ("weather stations")
Brass rain gauges
Brass, Copper and Stainless Steel hygrometers, thermometers and clocks
Our classic home and garden products are guaranteed for life
We believe that brass & copper should be allowed to age gracefully.
Like
fine wine, solid brass and copper age gracefully and develop a mellow, antique
patina over time.
All Conant Custom Brass products have this
"living finish," which enhances their genuine beauty for years to come. Our
products will never peel, flake or rust, even when used outdoors. We do not
apply a protective coating to the surface of our outdoor products, simply
because no clear coating lasts as long as the raw metal itself.
The photo here shows the transition of our classic Grande View Thermometer from
a shiny, polished finish, to a warm antiqued finish, to a classic verdigris.
Used outdoors, brass products naturally
develop an antiqued finish after about two to three months' use. The verdigris
finish develops anytime from 25 to 100 years' use — or as quickly as nine months
if exposed to salt.
The genuine beauty of a naturally aged patina appeals to those with a
traditional aesthetic, like those of us at Conant Custom Brass.
