Earlier in the week we promised we’d be sharing our top tips for making hardware selections in our online portal that fall within your experience level and budget. Here they are:
𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗜𝗬𝗲𝗿𝘀/𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀:
If the idea of customisation seems daunting, we recommend you opt for our default specs: they reflect our most popular hardware options. You could not change a thing here and still end up with something that looks and functions great.
If you’re on a budget, we have plenty of standard hinges to choose from - we also offer soft-close drawers for those wanting something smooth, quiet and a little more luxurious. For drawer systems, our generic ball-bearing selection is a cost-effective choice. As for cabinet tops, we recommend leaving this section as-is to achieve a straightforward result - although you are most welcome to call us should you have any specific requirements.
This part of the design process can have a large impact on the overall cost of your project - so we recommend keeping an eye on the estimated quote as you explore the drawer options.
𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀:
For experienced professionals looking for quality customised hardware, we have a huge array of options available including a wide selection of brand names, colours, weight capacities and custom cabinet top materials. If you’re looking for something particularly unique, feel free to give us a call so that we can help you make it happen.
