What Is So Special about Brass Doors Handles?

Door handles come in many shapes, finishes and styles. In most cases, the appearance of these door handles is just a matter of differences in personal taste. But when it comes to the material of the door handle, whether it is brass, chrome, plastic or stainless steel, we must carefully distinguish the characteristics of its products.

 

Some people like to use beautiful stainless steel door handles because they look clean, but this is not the case. A research result shows that thousands of bacteria may grow on stainless steel external door handles, including Gram-positive and negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus. The metal ions in brass have a toxic effect on living cells and bacteria.

The researchers performed the same test on unlacquered brass door handles. The results are surprising. There are much less bacteria on brass door handles than stainless steel handles. In other words, copper has the effect of destroying bacteria. Experts have carried out repeated experiments to determine the rate of death of bacteria on copper. As a result, the bacteria on brass were all wiped out in 7 hours or less. Moreover, on the newly polished brass surface, the time is only required. 15 minutes.

 

Copper and its compounds are not toxic to the human body like some heavy metals.

 

It has been found that copper and its alloys, especially brass, have self-sterilization capabilities. Brass is suitable for shopping carts, elliptical machines in gyms, and door handles. A handle made of brass or copper will reduce the accumulation of bacteria. The brass effectively disinfects the bacteria in all hands that turn the knob.

Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zinc, which has strong wear resistance. The small handle of the pure brass wardrobe will not fade. If the brass handle you buy is only copper-plated on the surface, it may be used for a long time, the brass will wear out, and the color will fade.

 

Brass is durable and corrosion-resistant, which makes it an attractive choice for door handle manufacturing.

 

In fact, brass is not only suitable for door handles, but also for all kinds of furniture handles. The thin-line brass round handles and glass with illusion film make the brass elements more fashionable and modern.

 

In recent years, a relatively retro material has begun to emerge. After a modern and aesthetic combination design, it has been used in the design of some home spaces and furniture products, which is quite eye-catching. This kind of material is brass. Because of its color similar to gold, it has a gorgeous sense. Its use in the home furnishing field can be traced back to the Victorian period in England.

 

Nowadays, the style of brass elements can be retro and modern, cleverly used in the home, can add a sense of high-level space. It is an element between simplicity and luxury. It fits with the light luxury style that is emerging on the basis of modern simplicity, and has received a lot of attention and love. Such products include Victorian brass door knobs, vintage brass handles, modern brass drawer pulls and brass shower door handles.
