Many people are nostalgic about old things and lamps are such decoration items one finds difficult to part with. You may often hear complaints that nowadays you can't find a decent lamp anymore, they are no longer what they were once. The first argument the elderly bring is low quality, which is true sometimes; low quality means low price and most of the producers would definitely go for a low selling price. Under such circumstances, the recycle lampshade idea appeared; it was born as a solution for elderly people who wanted to keep their old objects so full of memories.
The truth is that materials used for designing lamps don't last a life time, years of exposure to light, heat and dust can lead to something irrecoverable. Recycle lampshade solutions try to change used materials with new ones respecting the initial design and size, and although the cover may be harder to save the metallic framework can usually be reused.
The recycle lampshade process is an extraordinary resource for lamp fabrics, most of these items can be recovered with a minimum effort and be ready for sale with the price of a new one. Antic lamps can be recovered and resold according to the same pattern. The Victorian style models are to be found on the Internet due to the popularity of recycle lampshade techniques.
The perfect place to look for old lamps are garages, estate sales, junk and antique stores, markets or thrift stores. The fact is that not everything you will find in such places can be used, some items need recycle lampshade techniques for recovery. This practice of reconditioning old lamps isn't new, it is practiced from the beginning of the 20th century and it has continued ever since.
Old textile materials are usually full of dust and they are not the perfect light source for your children. Recycle lampshade techniques try to solve this problem because they change the old fabrics and replace the framework beneath if it is wood made. Though reconditioned, you will be actually purchasing a new product for a much lower price.
Even after the recycle lampshade process is over, the new materials are equally exposed to dust and mites, so you'll have to constantly clean them. Though there are many voices against it, the effort to recycle lampshade items is worth making particularly if you think about the happiness of a grandparent who'll find his or her old lamp reconditioned. -Muna wa Wanjiru
