Aluminium is strong, light and extremely versatile, which means it is an ideal material for door and window
furniture. This metal is easy to handle, resistant to corrosion and virtually maintenance free. It is a natural,
sustainable resource and most products can be recycled at the end of their useful life without loss of metal
quality or properties, making it the perfect 'green' material
Aluminium door and window furniture is most commonly seen in offices, schools and low-cost housing. For such
a strong and versatile material, aluminium is extremely cost-effective and is increasingly being produced in
more appealing designs. Door handles may be on a rectangular or curved backplate or a large square backplate
which can be a practical choice when old door fixings need to be hidden. Handles on rose are also a popular
option and the more designer styles can look very attractive on smart office doors. Aluminium door and window
furniture is probably most often seen with a satin (matt) finish, but can also be produced with a shiny or
coloured finish.
Pull handles, push plates and kick plates made of aluminium are very practical and inexpensive and therefore
particularly suitable for use in schools and colleges and other applications where cost is a necessary
consideration.
