Why is a stainless steel door handle so popular?
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel, and carbon. This combination provides a number of fine properties that are perfect for everyday objects you touch, such as door hardware. For instance, stainless steel is a very hard substance. Scratches are barely noticeable, and the color cannot peel off because the material is the same throughout. A stainless steel door handle also adapts like a chameleon. It looks beautiful on a white overlay door, but also matches stylishly with a wooden flush door or a glass wall.
Stainless steel is very easy to keep clean. It is also nice that bacteria have difficulty adhering to the smooth surface, which makes stainless steel door handles pleasant to use in kitchens and bathrooms.
Should you buy a brushed or polished stainless steel door handle?
Within our collection of stainless steel door hardware, we distinguish between two finishes. The choice here determines the appearance. Brushed stainless steel is the most popular variant. The steel is lightly sanded, giving it a matte, satin-like sheen. The major advantage of this is that fingerprints are less visible. Brushed stainless steel has a modern, businesslike, and no-nonsense look.
Do you want something that catches the eye more? Polished stainless steel shines like a mirror and resembles chrome in appearance. It looks very luxurious and classic. This is often used in interiors with a lot of glass and marble.
Stainless steel in various interior styles
You might immediately think of an office environment or a hospital when it comes to stainless steel, but in a home, the material truly comes into its own thanks to the contrast. In modern interiors, the door handle reigns supreme. Choose a model with a right angle (L-shape) and a square rosette. This creates a sense of calm in the interior.
Did you know that many famous designs from the 1920s and 1930s were originally made of nickel or stainless steel? Models like this are the perfect examples of how stainless steel can also have a retro look.
Points to consider when purchasing
When you choose stainless steel door hardware from Deurbeslag Expert, you can be sure that you have chosen quality. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Stainless steel comes in different grades. For indoor use, RVS 304 is the standard; it is strong and rust-resistant. Are you looking for hardware for the front door, or do you live by the coast? Then we recommend RVS 316. This type is extra resistant to salts and acids. It is good to know that you can use stainless steel throughout your entire house for a sense of unity.
Pay attention to the rosettes as well. Do you want a modern look? Then choose a thin rosette or even rosette-less hardware, where the handle appears to emerge directly from the door. For renovation projects, larger rosettes or escutcheons are actually useful for covering old screw holes.
How does the installation and maintenance of a stainless steel door handle work?
Installing a stainless steel door handle is a job you can easily do yourself. Our sets come complete with patent bolts. These allow you to connect the handles straight through the door, ensuring a rock-solid connection that won't rattle loose over time.
Stainless steel requires no maintenance. Wiping it down occasionally with a damp cloth is sufficient. Has the stainless steel become a bit dull after years? With a special stainless steel cleaner or a little olive oil on a cloth, you can make it shine like new again in seconds.
