Choosing the right window handle hardware

How do you choose the right handles for your windows? You may not even think this is possible, but yes, you can have different handles to the PVC ones you were given. You’ll usually be preoccupied with the wallpaper, the doors and the furnishings, but what about the handles? They matter too, and you’d be amazed at the difference they can make to the overall look of your home. Those small details can make all the difference, so we’re going to be looking at that today and come up with some useful tips for you.

Style, themes, aesthetics and complimenting the style of your rooms.

When thinking about doors and windows, think about the overall effect and how you can compliment the style of you room. You’ll need something that blends right in with the colour scheme or the theme you have going. If you’re going with a classic and traditional look then brass or burnished brass might be a good choice, or glass handles also are great for a vintage inspired room.

A range of different materials – you don’t have to settle for PVC, you can have whatever you want.

There are lots of different materials to choose from and you can match both your window handles and door handles to each other, so they match. You might want to go for something with less of a sheen in a child’s bedroom, so pick a matt or even plastic so they’re easier to clean and won’t stain easily.

Size and usefulness – will you be able to utilise your windows properly?

Also consider the size of handles, you want something that’s easy to manipulate for any kind of hands, especially if you have elderly relatives living with you that have difficulties using handles. You also want to think about the projection of the handles when you open and close them and allow for finger room, so you can operate them comfortably.

Think functionality, practicality and longevity when picking window handles for your home.

So, consider functionality and practicality and don’t buy anything too cheap in the interests of style and aesthetics, when they may not work as efficiently as you need them to, or they may break in the future. What you need is handles which are both stylish and functional, ones that will give your windows longevity, this is every bit as important as the rest of your furnishings.
