There are only a handful of materials used throughout architecture and design that have been utilized for years because of their beauty, versatility, durability & sustainability. Brass is one of those stunning few, which is exactly why it's part of our premium line of door handles.
So what makes brass the most chosen material for handles throughout the globe?

Pre 1900s in the western world, the vast majority of handles were made from either cast iron, ceramics or porcelain. However as towards the end of the 19th century brass made its way onto our doors and windows in the form of latches and handles. This was largely due to not only its aesthetic appeal, but also its durability, ease of manufacture and rust resistant properties.
It ultimately became the standard throughout the United Kingdom, creating a very traditional and almost imperial style that is found in many Victorian & Georgian style homes right here in Australia.
While a lot of modern designs call for modern materials, brass remains the choice of architects, designers, builders, and even DIYers who want something that will last on their dream home or project.
This is because we now have the ability to harness the amazing properties of brass, but then plate them into beautiful finishes to suit an endless amount of designs and ideas. This instills customers with peace of mind that under the beautiful, durable finish is a long lasting, quality material that they can actually feel.
The weight of a brass door handle plays a large role in the overall feel and emotion that is evoked when entering a well designed space.
Brass offers a timeless appeal, but the right finish can completely transform its look to suit different styles.
