subject: Brass For Cabinet Knobs More Than You Bargained For [print this page] There are many expensive, solid, long-lasting materials to choose out there when it comes to picking out doorknobs for your cabinets. However, if youre looking for good looks, durability, resilience and a low cost all in one package, look no further than brass knobs.
With its golden tint, brass creates an air of warmth, luxury, and tranquility. It also happens that most of the time, brass knobs come plain and unfinished, leaving you the freedom of picking out the paint and the finish that you want your knobs to have. If youre worried that brass is only available in a plain old gold tone, then relax because it just so happens that with the recent expansion of the home improvement industry, brass knobs come in various different styles and tones, such as oiled bronze, or polished chrome, for example.
It also just happens that brass is recognized as being one of the most durable materials out there, resistant to all kinds of external deterrents and environmental hazards, such as water, moisture, prompt temperature changes, general wear and tear. Etc etc while coming at a cost much lower than its other, fancier counterparts.
You could take the renovation of your house with brass to the next level and rather than limiting yourself to the doorknobs, you can install brass on your window frames, your lamps, your outside doors, so as to create a constant and repeated theme.
Its pretty much given that, over time, everything degrades and decays; living beings like objects alike. When it comes to objects, luckily, they can be replaced by new ones and such a time always comes when they succumb to all the wear and tear theyve been subjected to on a daily basis over the years. By using brass, you will effectively inject some flair and character into your kitchen while imbuing it with one of the most resilient and cost-effective materials out there.
