Coordinated finishes Having accessories that coordinate with the handle shows an extra level of attention to detail that can take already great door design to the next level. The new suited range from ARRONE helps door manufacturers to easily source high-quality ironmongery in a range of finishes that complement both contemporary and traditional door designs. The suited collection offers the choice of seven new finishes across selected handles, knockers, letters and numerals making it easy to source matching hardware for exterior doors. The finishes include black; white; anthracite grey; graphite; satin chrome effect; polished chrome effect; and polished brass effect. Finishes for coastal properties Ironmongery on properties located on the coast will be affected by marine corrosion so low-quality hardware will fail very quickly in these areas. Corrosion doesn’t just affect the handle’s appearance; it can damage the internal workings of the handle meaning the only option is to replace it which, depending on the type of door, could be costly. HOPPE’s Atlanta handle range with the Resista® finish has been designed to ensure it can withstand the effects of weathering. Made from one of the only metals with a strong resistance to corrosion, the new solid brass-based handles are suitable for all residential properties, even those in coastal areas. There’s no need for special cleaning measures, any dirt can be easily removed with just a damp cloth. Technical support Experienced HOPPE and ARRONE product experts are on hand to help with any technical queries and provide specification support.
