What makes luxury hardware brands so special?
Luxury hardware brands prioritize high-quality materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and unique designs.
They often use premium materials like solid brass, hand-finished metals, or exotic woods to ensure durability and beauty. Attention to detail is key, with precise manufacturing and innovative designs that stand out. These brands also offer versatile collections with cohesive styles, allowing for seamless integration into high-end interiors.
Luxury hardware is more than functional. It’s a design statement that enhances the overall aesthetic of a space.
Why Do Customers Opt for Luxury Hardware Brands?
Customer Experience
Top rated hardware brands are known for the best customer service. In an industry as old as cabinet hardware it can be hard to find someone who answers email quickly or calls you back immediately. The best brands make sure they are there to help designers and builders quickly and efficiently to serve their clients best.
Materials That Feel Heavy
While zinc and steel are great materials for many products, they don't produce the type of hardware that a new home project demands. Our customers are looking for hardware that can match the high standards that the kitchens and baths in their project employs. When you open a cabinet door with a zinc handle, you can feel how light and cheap the material is.
When you open a door with a solid brass handle you can feel that it's heavy. It doesn't matter how much you put into the refrigerator door or in the cabinet drawer, solid brass pulls will hold up for a lifetime.
Attention to Detail
The best have an extreme attention to detail. There is no wonder why Apple is as prominent today as it is. The details matter and Apple is known for obsessing over everything from the menu button to the engravings on the back of your iPhone. Similarly, we at Hapny Home, obsess over the finishes, the textures, and the subtle shapes that go into our hardware collections.
