There are many considerations when making any kind of investment in your kitchen, and so we hope the following FAQ's will be helpful with your purchase:
Why purchase a pot rack?
Decorative, practical, dramatic. Pot racks are one of the best ways to make a statement in your kitchen.
More cabinet space. A pot rack will store your pots an pans and free up valuable cabinet space in the kitchen. Some designs can provide storage in even the smallest of areas, such as the Small Corner Pot Rack by Enclume
Save your back! Pot and pans stored in low cabinets require bending and kneeling to reach. Wouldn't it be great to have your pots and pans conveniently located at arms reach.
Organization and efficiency. How many times have you had to pull out 5 or 6 pans to get at the one you need? Think of the convenience and time saved when your pots and pans are organized and close at hand.
Display and protection of your prized cookware. You have spent your hard earned money on an expensive set of cookware only to have it banging around in a cabinet getting scratched and dented. Why not show off your cookware while protecting it at the same time.
Enjoyment. Maybe the most overlooked, but most important aspect of owning a pot rack is enjoying the beauty and grace it adds to your kitchen. A prized purchase, like a fine painting, you can enjoy its beauty every time you enter your kitchen, and if it is an Enclume pot rack it will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.
Why Enclume?
Made in the USA. Enclume racks are carefully created by skilled metal crafters. The pride of their small town worker results in special care and a quality of craftsmanship not found in similar mass-produced products. The welds connecting ovals and rectangles are stronger than the steel itself. No product expresses this better than their signature Classic Rectangle Pot Rack with Center Bar.
Quality of materials. Enclume uses only the highest quality domestic hot rolled and cold rolled steel in their products. The 1/4 inches thickness of the steel used in their Premier line is the heaviest in the industry. Enclume Essentials and Décor lines use 3/16 inches thick steel, which is also unmatched, especially at their price point.
Creative designs. You will find Enclume's designs to be original and unmatched in their beauty and functionality. Enclume has more styles available than any other pot rack manufacturer. The design staff at Enclume creates each and every pot rack. Their designs result in your receiving a pot rack of heirloom quality that will never go out of style.

Other Enclume Questions:
What is hammered steel?
Hot-rolled steel is used in Enclume’s proprietary process to manufacture our signature “hammered
steel.” This handsome finish, with its rich distressed patina, has a protective coating to keep
maintenance to a minimum.
What is a plated finish?
Our brass, copper and chrome finishes are applied to cold-rolled steel using electroplating to achieve
the smooth hard surface and crisp clean lines that are distinctive to our plated racks. The copper
racks are plated with two layers of copper and the brass and chrome racks are plated with a layer of
copper and a layer of nickel before the brass or chrome is applied. In comparing solid brass or
solid copper to our plated finishes, they currently do not meet the standards of excellence (strength,
maintenance and durability) required in an Enclume plated rack.
What maintenance factors should be considered in selecting a particular finish?
Chrome and stainless steel are considered low maintenance along with hammered steel. Our copper
and brass plated finishes are not lacquered. Over time they will develop a patina or can remain
bright with regular polishing using a non-abrasive cleaner. It is very important that all trace of
cleaner be removed however or the finish will tarnish again immediately. Stainless steel can be
maintained with Scotch Brite, however, only rub the pad in one direction to avoid unnecessary
scratching. Maintenance guidelines are included with our assembly instructions.
What is included with an Enclume cookware rack?
The rack components, mounting ceiling screw hooks (lag bolts for wall-mounted racks), and a supply
of pot hooks. Assembly instructions and a wrench are also included. Grid (unless otherwise noted),
additional hooks, chain and extension hooks are accessories.
Why is knowing the location of the ceiling joist and wall stud locations critical to
proper installation?
Consider the weight of the rack itself and the cookware to be placed on it. An installed rack should
hold the hanging weight of a 200-pound person. A secure installation is a safe one. Therefore, it is
critical to thread the ceiling screw hook into a wood joist or the lag bolt into the wall stud. Joists
are parallel beams from wall to wall to support the ceiling. Studs are the upright posts in
the framework of a wall that support the drywall or wall covering.Mounting racks into brick masonry or metal require special mounting considerations and additional hardware specific for that purpose, such as, masonry expansion bolts. Consulting a professional in your area to review all aspects of this type of installation should be informative and beneficial to achieve a proper installation.
