Your stunning GONG radiator will arrive with a pair of cotton jeweller gloves. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, please instruct your installer to wear them when handling your radiator.
The patinations on Gong are applied by hand by highly skilled metalworkers Capisco, in London’s East End using a variety of hot working techniques and colour compounds depending on the finish required.
GONG finishes cannot be controlled beyond the method that Eskimo have selected. Your GONG will be very close to the colour and tone that you see in the pictures – an earthy pallet of burnt orange and rose tones. However, the patination (pattern) can vary from a very subtle ‘speckles’ to more fluid ‘swirls’. Each GONG radiator is absolutely unique.
It is not recommended that you try to clean or add anything to the patinated surface. It should not be necessary to have to clean the surface. At most, a yellow duster or soft muslin cloth can be used to polish. Spillages or anything of that sort should be removed immediately with soft tissue. All standard cleaning products are a bad idea as they will, at best, attack the wax, at worst, damage the patina. If cleaning is really necessary, the radiator should be allowed to cool and then a very dilute sugar soap solution can be used with soft muslin and then dried thoroughly with tissue. No abrasives should be used or applied and you should not attempt to wax the radiator.
