About Floor Clocks

Floor clocks come in numerous sizes and styles. They add a sense of fine craftsmanship to any place in your office or home. Floor clocks are always fashionable and practical as well.

Floor Clock Features As the name implies, a floor clock is positioned on a floor. Floor clocks generally do not have a cabinet casing like grandfather clocks; and though some models do have a pendulum, most do not have a system of weights or chains. Often, floor clocks are designed for placement on a pedestal. Different Floor Clock Designs Floor clocks come in many different styles to complement any decor. You'll find floor clocks in different designs ranging from traditional to contemporary.

Shutting Off the Chime
Many people choose to use the shut-off feature that many floor clocks include. This feature allows you to deactivate the chimes or sounds that some clocks make when they strike the hour. This feature is especially useful for night, but can be used any time.

Quartz and Battery Powered
Some floor clocks keep time with quartz movement. The quartz crystal within the timepiece is powered by impulses from a battery. These impulses cause the quartz crystal to move the clock's hands at regular intervals.

Everyone needs a clock to tell time. Floor clocks fulfill this practical purpose while beautifying your home.
