Glass hurricane candle holders

A glass hurricane candle holder is a glass cylinder with a domed top. It is designed to hold a candle, which is placed inside. They can be used to hold any candle but are also decorative pieces.

Benefits of using a glass hurricane candle holder

The dome of a glass hurricane candle holder helps to keep the flame consistent and clean and prevents it from being blown out. So, it protects the candle better than an ordinary candle holder. Also, the glass reflects the flickering candlelight. It helps to intensify the glow and create a cosy atmosphere. Depending on the candle's size, these candle holders may last an entire night.

Uses of glass hurricane candle holders

Besides helping to create a cosy atmosphere, glass hurricane candle holders are beautiful decorative pieces. One can place them on fireplaces or any other secure flat surface without worrying about whether the flame will be blown out. Glass hurricane candle holders with special designs are especially popular at weddings. If any place prohibits open flames, a glass hurricane candle holder can be the solution to safely allow candles there. Wherever and whenever they are used, they are sure to bring style and warmth to all decorative centrepieces and environments.

Types of glass hurricane candle holders

Glass hurricane candle holders can hold a variety of candles, including tiny votives, tapers, and pillars. They come in various sizes and designs, including large and tall ones and decorative types, such as brass, etched, and coloured hurricane candle holders. A brass glass hurricane candle holder is made of glass but additionally with elements made of brass, either inside or outside the glass. It makes the hurricane candle holder more unique compared to a simple glass one. An etched glass hurricane candle holder has etched designs on it to make it look elegant. Antique designs often have etchings on them. Glass hurricane candle holders also come in various colours, so a coloured glass hurricane candle holder can be chosen to intentionally complement or contrast it with the surroundings.

Safely using and cleaning a glass hurricane candle holder

Always match the candle to the holder because candles come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. For example, a tiny candle would be underwhelming inside a huge or large glass hurricane candle holder. The larger the candle, the larger the required holder size. Ensure there is at least 1'' of space around the candle's side and a bit more from the dome. A tight space may get too hot and melt the candle quicker. If the candle is tall, look for a tall glass hurricane candle holder that can accommodate it safely. A tall one must be extra secure so that it doesn't fall over.

Wax collects inside a glass hurricane candle holder, especially if the candle is too large for the holder or the holder is disturbed. Fortunately, one can clean the wax out in several ways, either by freezing the holder, softening the wax in the oven, or softening it using a hairdryer. If there are lots of glass hurricane candle holders to clean, use a butter knife to scrape as much wax as possible. Then, fill them with boiling water and let the remaining wax melt. Finally, rinse them with soapy warm water.
