Paraffin for Fanales

Buy paraffin

When it comes to fanal, choosing well the paraffin that we are going to use is essential to achieve good results. Keep in mind that these hollow candles are used as lanterns, so their walls must let in the light that we will put inside. That is why it is essential that they are translucent. Without forgetting that they must be resistant enough to withstand the heat of light. In Gran Velada you can buy paraffin to make homemade lanterns with professional finish. We have several types and with all of them you will achieve optimal results. In addition to paraffin you can buy special wax for these hollow candles.

Making paraffin lanterns is easy and economical, which is why it is one of the most used materials. Broadly speaking, it is enough to melt the paraffin, add some color if you want and pour the mixture between the mold and the countermold. In our blogs you can see the step by step of this technique. To make lanterns paraffin 58 is ideal because being translucent will allow the light of the tea candle or the Led spotlight to be projected through its walls.

Paraffins differ from each other, in addition to quality, by the degree of melting, that is, the temperature from which they begin to melt. The higher the graduation, the greater the hardness. In the case of lanterns, the recommended paraffin ranges between 58 and 65 degrees. That yes we must bear in mind that the higher graduation the less translucent it will be and the less light it will let pass through its fans. In Gran Velada we put at your disposal a perfect paraffin to make this type of hollow candles. This is the 58-60ºC Premium, which is of high quality and will give a rustic touch to the final finish.
