Nickel-plated & chrome-plated cabinet handles
Most metals are coated with some form of alloy, and one of the most common alloys is chromium and nickel. Nickel-plated handles and knobs are easier to produce compared to chrome fittings. Both look very similar in color, and it can be hard to tell the difference. Those with a really good feel for alloys can see that nickel plated fittings are slightly warmer in color while chrome gives almost a mirror effect, and is a bit more bluish in tone.
Fittings in chrome or nickel are shiny and give a shiny appearance. Watch out for fingerprints! The glossy, shiny appearance is often perceived as a bit exclusive and makes your furniture stand out.
In addition to their aesthetic advantages, both chrome and nickel-plated handles have several practical qualities that make them a popular choice in homes across the world. These fittings are incredibly durable and resistant to wear, making them perfect for everyday use in both kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, they are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
For those looking to achieve a luxurious and sleek look in their home, chrome handles are an excellent choice. Their mirror-like surfaces create a sophisticated impression and offer a modern and fresh feel, perfect for a minimalist kitchen or stylish bathroom. If you prefer a warmer tone, nickel-plated handles might be the better option. These handles are particularly well-suited to homes with a classic or industrial style and provide an inviting atmosphere that complements other elements in the décor.
One of the major benefits of chrome and nickel-plated handles is their ability to easily match other metal elements in your kitchen or bathroom. Whether you have chrome faucets, stainless steel sinks, or brushed nickel fittings, these handles can be seamlessly integrated to create a cohesive and elegant look. This means you won’t have to compromise on either functionality or aesthetics when choosing hardware for your home.
For those looking to elevate their kitchen cabinets or bathroom vanities, the right handles can make all the difference. Chrome and nickel-plated fittings are not only stylish but also a long-term investment – their timeless design and high quality ensure that they will remain modern and fresh for many years to come.
To maintain the shine of your fittings and ensure they continue to look new, we recommend regularly wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth to avoid the buildup of dirt and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface and reduce the shine. An easy way to preserve the original finish is by occasionally using a mild metal cleaner specifically designed for chrome or nickel.
With proper care, your chrome or nickel-plated handles will continue to shine and give your home that extra touch of elegance – year after year.
Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or just looking to give your bathroom a quick refresh, the choice of hardware can have a significant impact on the overall look. With chrome or nickel handles, you can create that tailored feel where every little detail is carefully chosen to reflect your personal style. These handles come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making it easy to find the right style for your home. From sleek and minimalist designs to more decorative and rustic options – there’s something to suit every taste and décor.
Updating your handles is a simple way to make a big impression without undergoing a full renovation. Chrome and nickel fittings provide an instant refresh and elevate the entire room to a new level.
