ZAMAK

Choosing zamak handles is a good choice when you want variety of designs combined with hardness and strength.  This is because this alloy of metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc and magnesium, is widely used to manufacture different and firm cabinet handles.

Its versatility and consistency, quite similar to that of steel, make it highly appreciated, in addition to being more economical handles.

ABS / PVC

The handles you choose made of strong plastics such as ABS/PVC, are specially designed to withstand much better wear and tear in outdoor spaces. They are very resistant to impacts due to their composition, and you can also get them in multiple shapes and colors, as it is an easily moldable material.

Vintage

These handles evoke past times, without leaving behind all the style and elegance that characterized them in their time. They are of more elaborate designs, with a fusion of different materials such as zamak and ceramic and aged or copper finishes.

Knobs

Knobs are a cabinet handle with a single point of installation. Their shapes are quite diverse, with round and spherical ones being found in greater numbers, in ceramic finishes, with quite simple or very ornate designs.

Profiles

The profiles are elements to hold the doors of the furniture; they differ from the common handles by their size, in most cases they are continuous and can cover the entire width or length of the door. Another feature is their installation, which is done in such a way that they are hidden from view or very inconspicuous.
