FAQ

Q: Can you replicate a specific historical Gualuo pattern?
A: Yes, if you provide reference photos or drawings, our master carvers can replicate any traditional Chinese hanging lintel pattern. We also have an extensive catalog of historical patterns from different dynasties and regions.

Q: Are Gualuo suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, we offer weatherproof outdoor versions with marine-grade finishes, sealed edges, and corrosion-resistant hardware. Outdoor pieces are treated with additional preservative and UV protection for long-lasting exposure to the elements.

Q: How is a Gualuo installed?
A: Gualuo can be mounted using hidden brackets, screws, or adhesive depending on the application. We include appropriate mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions. For architectural integration, we recommend working with a local contractor.

Q: Can you custom-make a Gualuo to fit my specific doorway or window?
A: Absolutely. Send us your dimensions, photos, and design preferences, and our craftsmen will create a custom Gualuo tailored to your space. We offer unlimited revisions during the design phase.

Q: What is the difference between openwork and relief carving?
A: Openwork (through carving) creates a lattice effect where the background is completely removed, allowing light to pass through. Relief carving raises the pattern from a solid background. Both styles are available, and many Gualuo combine both techniques for depth and complexity.

Q: Can you match the finish to my existing woodwork?
A: Yes, we offer custom color matching. Send us photos or samples of your existing woodwork, and we will match the wood species, stain, and finish for a cohesive look.
