Last time, we focused on luxury, showcasing the must-have door handles for any luxurious abode. But what about returning to the basic idea of what a traditional door handle represents? When exploring ideas of tradition in England, we tend to concentrate on Georgian, Victorian-style, or 1930s homes – eras when the UK experienced mass housebuilding. And those homes were so successful, with their iconic designs, that we often consider them as our quintessential traditional homes.
First impressions matter. And as a developer, you need to get a handle on it – literally! So my mission is to provide my audience with some insight into door handles and which ones you should use, depending on the style of your building project. So we’ll go through three styles – luxury, traditional and contemporary.
My achievements are not my achievements. Independent craftsmen, suppliers, friends, and customers—these are the key pillars to the success of my company. We achieve together to provide the best product for you—the person who uses our work throughout your daily life. My dream when starting out in the world of door handles was to make daily life just a little bit better. Door handles are something you have to use every day; you can’t avoid them. While many people don’t give them much thought, it’s actually a good thing because it indicates that they are reliable and durable. It’s only when they start causing issues that they truly capture our attention. Providing reliable and durable products was never an issue for me; it’s the minimum standard.
