Sliding doors are a stylish way of saving space. Especially with hinge doors taking up precious decimetres if space is at a premium. Moreover, sliding doors are great eye catchers: we naturally expect to see a ‘regular’ door, instead of a nicely concealed sliding door… But which kind of lever is best suited to go with your sliding door? In what follows we show you around the wondrous world of sliding door fittings!
The benefits of recessed sliding door fittings
Sliding doors bring a sense of peace and calm to any interior. To further enhance this sense of soothing tranquillity, go for matching recessed fittings that are countersunk into your sliding door. These fittings not only look all sleek and restrained, they are also highly functional. Gone are the days of bruising yourself when inadvertently catching the handle again. Your children too will thank you for it as they will no longer be bumping into the side of the door every so often when left open. Plus it saves on space.
Modern sliding door fittings
Recessed handles are the epitome of minimalist aesthetics. Perfectly suited to your designer home, banning all forms of excess to make way for maximum light, air and space. Less is more. Another typical feature is the use of exclusive materials. The countersunk Pure PSS sliding door pull is perfectly in keeping with these two features. Made from relic’d iron for that rough look, with straight, sleek lines that lend even more character to your sliding door.
Sliding door fittings for vintage aficionados
Even though sliding doors are usually associated with modern homes, they come in that many different styles that they can just as readily be integrated in your vintage style home, where round shapes tend to rule supreme. Just cast your mind to convex lamps in fun colours, round rugs or barrel seats you get to slink away in nice and snug. So here is a great way to continue in the same vein for your sliding door fittings: rounded corners are a must.
If you are taken in by the charm of the weathered look, then green bronze is an excellent choice of material. If you prefer your door fittings on the slightly sleeker side, take a look at this silver handle. Finally, you can also gear your sliding door fittings to the home interior trend that incorporates copper tints. The SLO2 in natural bronze is a great fit with those little copper vases, candle holders and picture frames!
