Schonbek FAQs
Where can I buy Schonbek in Canada?
Montreal Lighting & Hardware is an authorized Schonbek dealer in Canada. Their crystal fixtures are available online and at our showroom in Mount-Royal, Quebec. All products are priced in CAD with free shipping on orders over $199 CAD.
Does Schonbek ship to Canada?

Yes. Schonbek products carry a manufacturer's warranty and Montreal Lighting & Hardware provides full warranty support for Canadian customers.
What crystal does Schonbek use?
Schonbek uses Swarovski Elements crystal in their Heritage and Geometrix collections — precision-cut Austrian crystal recognized for its exceptional clarity and light refraction. Their New Wave and other contemporary collections use proprietary Schonbek crystal developed to their own optical specifications.
How do I clean a Schonbek crystal chandelier?
Schonbek recommends cleaning crystal elements individually with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. Turn off the power and allow the fixture to cool completely before cleaning. For large multi-tier installations, professional chandelier cleaning is recommended to protect both the crystal and the metalwork.
How does Schonbek compare to Crystorama for crystal lighting?
Schonbek represents the top tier of crystal lighting — Swarovski-certified crystal, European manufacturing, and a price point that reflects genuine luxury. Crystorama offers real crystal elements at a more accessible price point with a broader style range. For the most formal spaces and the highest-quality crystal, Schonbek is the clear choice. For more versatile use across a home renovation budget, Crystorama is a strong alternative.
