We started as a small team of product and digital designers from the interiors industry.

We’ve grown massively since, and are always on the lookout for new talent.

We spent two years researching, designing and developing before we launched in September 2019.

Since then we’ve not stopped. We’re always developing the next line of products and entering new markets.

Although some of our hardware products can be fitted by anyone proficient at DIY, we recommend that our door handles be installed by a qualified builder or joiner.

You can view and print instructions from our mobile-friendly support page.

We recommend using a professional to fit all Corston products. Electrical items must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Yes, our door handles are suitable for interior and exterior doors. 

We sell all our door handles and knobs in pairs, except for our recessed door handles which are sold individually.

For our sprung handles, we would recommend a light latch, or alternatively, you can use your own mortice latch.

If you opt for our unsprung handles, a strong latch will work best with our lever handles to prevent drooping. You can use a lighter latch with our knobs to ensure they're easy to turn.

Our shelf brackets are all sold individually.

They'll support 40kg per bracket.

No, all our furniture handle designs are sold individually.

No, all our window handles and casement stays are sold individually.

Our window furniture ranges have been designed for use with timber windows (you could install the products on aluminium frames too – we just don’t provide the fixings for this). 

Spare screws for our furniture handles can be found here. For all other spare part enquiries, please contact our customer service team.

For help with creating your own combinations, just give us a call.

Retractive: this is sometimes called a momentary switch. It makes the ON connection when pressed and springs back to the OFF resting position. A short press will turn the light on and off. A press and hold will dim and brighten the light.

Centre retractive: this version has springs that make sure the switch returns to the centre OFF position. It can be pressed up or down to make two separate connections.
middle OFF position.

* Both versions must be used with one in-line dimmer module per circuit.

Intermediate switches need to be used when three or more switches are required to control the same light. Two-way switches are used at the start and end of the circuit, and one or more intermediate
switches are added to the middle of the circuit. Our intermediate switches can be found here.

Multiple two-way dimmer modules can't be used to control the same light. A two-way dimmer can be combined with two-way or intermediate switches to control the light from multiple locations.

Retractive and centre retractive toggles/rockers can be used for a multiple point dimming circuit when used with an in-line dimmer module (one per circuit).

Alternatively, our multiway dimmer module can be used to dim and turn lights on/off from multiple locations on one circuit.

All our dimmers have been engineered with anti-flicker technology. If flickering is something you're experiencing, please follow our mode setting instructions here.

Some of our lights are only suitable for indoor use. Follow the information here to make the right lighting choices for inside and outside your home.

Wall lights (fixed): IP44/54 – suitable for outdoor use (excluding our medium Claremont wall light with fine porcelain shades only). Can be used in zone 2 of bathrooms.

Wall lights (hanging): IP20 – not suitable for outdoor use. Can be used in zone 3 of bathrooms.

Indoor spotlights: IP20 – not suitable for outdoor use. Can be used in zone 3 of bathrooms.

Pendant: IP20 – not suitable for outdoor use. Can be used in zone 3 of bathrooms.

Outdoor spotlights (Ealing): IP44/56 – suitable for outdoor use.

Yes, all our lighting designs can be dimmed when used with a suitable dimmable bulb.

All our lights are mains powered, using bulbs with built-in drivers.

Our Perryn spotlights are made for plasterboard ceilings and walls, as the electrical fittings need to sit in a hollow space.

Whereas the Baylis spotlights are surface mounted, so they’re suitable for anywhere.

If you're still unsure, our team will be happy to help you out.

All our glass shades are hand blown, rather than pressed or machine made. We prefer hand blown glass for its superior quality and artisanal look and feel.
Occasionally, small air bubbles can get trapped in the molten glass during the process, and you may be able to see these in your shade. Similarly, slight variations in the thickness of the glass can occur. These natural (and unavoidable) differences make each one of our shades unique.

All our lighting is tested for water ingress in the orientation shown online. For safety and compliance, lighting must be installed as pictured on the product page.

Mains voltage is better for larger gardens, especially if you have other mains lights on the same circuit. However, the cable needs to be installed properly and safely by a professional to meet regulations, particularly around flower beds where digging occurs frequently.

The 24V option is safer, but it’s not suitable for large gardens as the voltage drops over long cable runs. Our 24V lights require our Brunswick LED driver, so you'll need to find a place to hide this as well.
