Why Custom Wooden Door Handles?
Custom door handles offer a level of personalization that standard options can’t match. They allow you to select the timber, size, and design to perfectly complement the overall aesthetic of your build. Whether it’s a sleek, modern look or a more traditional, heritage style, wooden handles bring a sense of craftsmanship and uniqueness that elevates the entire space.
Key Factors to Consider
- Style & Design Think about the overall design of the home. For contemporary builds, streamlined, rounded handles work beautifully, while rustic homes may benefit from chunkier, more textured designs. Always consider how the door handle will interact with the door itself and the surrounding decor.
- Type of Timber Choosing the right timber is crucial. Hardwoods like oak or walnut are durable and ideal for high-traffic areas. If the project requires a lighter look, consider timbers like Tasmanian Oak or Vic Ash. Keep in mind, the timber you choose will greatly influence the final appearance and longevity of the handles.
- Size & Fitting Builders understand that function is just as important as form. The size of the door handle should match the proportions of the door and feel comfortable in the hand. Additionally, the fitting needs to be sturdy to ensure longevity, particularly in homes where durability is key.
