Looking for this style that can be used in an exterior foyer. is this product safe for exterior use?

I don't think it can be used outdoors... It is a great fixture though for indoors.. :)

The box doesn't say it's damp rated anywhere, so I would say no. A chandelier with uplights is especially vulnerable to moisture since water can drip down into the sockets. Most damp rated/wet rated fixtures for outdoor use will have down lights with a weather resistant top or if their uplights, they'll be enclosed in something weather resistant. Even if this was set back on a porch, where rain won't reach it, I'd worry about the metal corroding with time.

I do not think it is rated for exterior usage. I would check with the manufacturer. I do love the light and have seen versions of it in several home design publications and shows recently.

Really have no idea but since it is stainless steel and if it is under cover it probably would work

In my opinion, I would refrain from placing this item in the elements. It is a veneer, as I mentioned in my review, we had to actually add wood putty and stain to a few cracks and other imperfections that were visible upon assembly. It would look rather handsome outside in a sitting area or porch, but again the elements may wreak havoc on the engineered wood. Good luck!

I personally have not used these for outdoor use; and dont plan to.The varnish and the wood are fit for indoor use only. If you use these outdoors, you woul have to bring them in immediately after use

I can't really help because the knobs I bought were interior knobs. I would not use them on an exterior door.

Mo, I wouldn't try to put it outside. It is beautiful and I have it in my kitchen.

Hi Tammy, I would not recommend it for exterior use, unless you have storm door. It is not really water proof. Imagine two rods of foam, covered with dress shirt fabric. That's sort of what this is like. I don't think I'd want it to get wet. I'm also not sure if it would close properly since threshold doors usually have a little strip on the bottom of the door frame. If it were my front door, I would maybe try to find a weather strip of rubber or one like this that has just a single rod of some kind to attach to the inside of my door.

The instructions say to use it outside but if the foyer is tile it should be ok. Do not put it on any soft surface or carpet. The rubber backing may melt. Bear in mind this is only a 36" mat but the mat itself will be warm and it may even warm up a couple of inches of the floor around it too.

I would be careful. It's pretty strong stuff, and I noticed it has removed stain on wood when there was a clear coat over it, so obviously it went through the finish. I would never use it on the exterior of any vehicle. Better safe than sorry. You might want to use something like fiberglass magic if they sell it still and if not, a power washer.

We've had several pieces for more than a year and "weather resistant" may be accurate but I don't think it's weatherproof. Soon as I assembled ours I sprayed with a rubberized paint. It seems to be good outdoor furniture and has held up well, but even with the paint there are numerous areas of a rust-like light stain. Not too bothersome to me and doesn't appear to be breaking down the material. But, again, I would not consider the furniture weather/rust-proof.

I would not use it for outside.....Its really nice indoors but out side it will not last, it is true wall paper

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

It appears it is some kind of coated steel. I am using solely indoors. I think it would do OK outside but did not purchase with that intention. If you plan on putting outside, I would go with stainless steel to be safe.

I would suggest a good coat of polyurethane or a coat of exterior paint to protect the bench if you were going to keep it outside, even on a covered balcony. The finish is ok, but I doubt it would withstand moisture on a regular basis.

Hi Rose...I think this pattern would look great in any kitchen but I don't know about covering the outside of your kitchen cabinets. While it is heavy weight paper...if it got wet or if you had to clean it with any kind of cleaner I don't know how it would hold up. I used mine to cover a piece of thin plywood and made a homemade desk in a child's room. I have wiped it off with a damp sponge but follow with a dry towel just in case. So far...no problems. It still looks new and has shown no signs of water damage or tearing. Give it a try...you can always peel it off if it doesn't work. Good luck.

I don't believe it is for outside use. We've only installed them inside commercial spaces. I would confirm their intended usage via the Elkay website.

I wouldn't personally use it out in weather! You may find a way to cover it or modify installation, but this is an indoor product.

You can use it in a covered porch, but it is not recommended because the finish may corrode. They do make an exterior grade one like this one.
