Handles

Kitchen handle typesAs long as you’re not having a handless kitchen installed then choosing the kitchen handles for your kitchen doors could take you a little longer than you thought, as the choices available are mind blowing!

The right handle to suit your kitchen

Depending on your style of kitchen, you may opt to go for a modern looking Altino kitchen with a square kitchen handle, or if you are opting for a more tradition look to your kitchen like a croft washed oak, then a Pewter D Handle would suit better.

Our kitchen handles range from around 53p each right up to £28 for the more elegant 352mm Pewter Oval Bar handles. If you’re not sure on the handle width, then you’ll be pleased to know that our handles range from around 10cms wide right up to 1.2 metres!

A popular question people tend to ask is “what does stainless steel effect mean? Are they made of an aluminium alloy, or plastic, or something else?”

Well, the answer is they are usually made from a material called Zamac and then coated in stainless steel to give the effect of a stainless steel finish.
