| New accents for sliding doors  New closed flush pulls from Franz Schneider Brakel ensure a uniform appearance for the door leaf. The operating aperture is always blanked out by a flap that springs neatly into the closed position when the hardware is not being used. Two modes of assembly are possible: the flat perimeter may be surface-mounted to the door or be fully recessed. The handles are designed in such a way that untidily or inaccurately machined edges can be concealed by means of the surface-mounted perimeter. But the fittings really come into their own if completely flush recessed. Hardware and door are suffused into a single entity - the door's design credentials are significantly enhanced. No visible fastenings are needed.The closed version boasts more than just aesthetic qualities, though. The user soon learns to appreciate the playful pleasure of flicking the flap alternately to the left and right. Soiling is reduced, moreover - particles of dust have virtually no chance of lodging in the aperture. Flush pulls are generally fitted to timber doors. The leaf or frame is machined to accept the hardware, which is then clipped or glued in place as required. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
