How often have you caught your clothing on the door or drawer handles in the kitchen? Or did your little ones hurt their heads by not looking where they were going? Handles and knobs are practical, yes, but they do have their disadvantages. For example, most of them come in standard sizes and match the existing drill pattern, but not all. So it may be difficult to change your ones to a design you particularly like or find a suitable replacement if your current handles are quite old.
Our experienced team at MY Carpenter Ltd are known for our high-end finishes in every aspect of our building work, renovations, and property refurbishments in Fleet, Basingstoke, and the surrounding areas. From kitchen extensions to loft conversions, we install long-lasting fixtures and fittings that won’t age, discolour, or easily break. Handles and knobs on units that get used much more than others will begin to show wear and tear a lot faster, leaving your kitchen looking tired and outdated much quicker than it should.
Have you considered going handleless? As part of MY Carpenter Ltd’s property refurbishments and new kitchen designs, we can supply and fit a range of kitchen doors and drawer fronts which look smooth, sleek, and up-to-the-minute.
Let’s consider their advantages:
If your Fleet or Basingstoke kitchen is limited in size, handleless cabinetry is an ideal solution. You’ll actually be amazed at the amount of floor space you gain by removing your existing handles. Those extra inches can make quite a difference. And, of course, there’ll be no more torn clothing or bumped heads.
Several options are available if you’re interested in introducing handleless doors as part of your property refurbishments with MY Carpenter Ltd. The most popular are the J-pull and push-open designs, as outlined below:
With a recessed handle at the back of the door– either at the side or on top – and drawer front, J-pulls are extremely popular amongst our Fleet and Basingstoke clients. They are opened by sliding your fingers around to the recess and pulling.
Push-open systems have a spring catch attached to the back of the door, releasing the panel towards you. Push-open mechanisms allow you to open doors and drawers easily without using your hands. Useful if you’ve oil or flour on them and just need that one utensil!
