What is Architectural Hardware?

Our team has great pride in providing distinct architectural hardware pieces. These pieces: door knobs, hinges, door locks, window hardware, and more might be "small" but they pull a design together in both functionality and aesthetically. Each hardware piece is designed to be durable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing, and is available in a variety of materials, styles, and finishes.

We work alongside many interior designers because architectural hardware can add a great deal of visual interest to a space. It can be used to create a unique look, to highlight certain areas of a room, or to provide a particular function.

Architectural hardware can be used to add a unique touch to a space:

• intricate door handles

• decorative hinges

• eye-catching lighting fixtures

• unique or custom grilles

• gate and barn doors

• durable locks + catches

It can be used to highlight certain areas of a room, such as a fireplace or windows, by using different finishes or textures. Furthermore, architectural hardware can be used to provide functionality, such as locks and door closers, to make a space more secure and comfortable. When used correctly, architectural hardware can make a big difference in the overall appearance of a space and help to create a unique and inviting atmosphere.

What are the types of Architectural Hardware styles?

There are many different types of architectural hardware styles available, ranging from traditional to modern Some of the most popular styles include classic, rustic, contemporary, craftsman, industrial, and minimalist. Each style has its own unique look and is designed to complement the overall design of the space.

• Traditional architectural hardware references the familiarity and comfort of foundational design of the past....long lasting design that has continued to pair with traditional style homes.

• Modern architectural hardware typically features sleek, clean lines and minimalistic designs. It often has a contemporary look and feel and is often made of metal or metal-like materials like stainless steel or brass.

• Transitional architectural hardware is a type of hardware designed to bridge the gap between traditional and modern styles. It often combines elements of both classic and contemporary styles to create a balance of aesthetics and function.

• Ornate architectural hardware is a type of decorative hardware that typically features intricate detailing, such as scrollwork, engraving, and other embellishments. When used in a traditional-style building, ornate architectural hardware can add a unique, luxurious touch to the overall design.
