Aluminium doors and windows come with high durability, sleek appearance, and low maintenance requirements, thus becoming popular in recent times. Choosing the right handle for your aluminium doors and windows is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also of security and functionality, as every handle comes with their diverse sets of features.

Fortunately, there are plenty of diverse range of options available to choose from when it comes to deciding on the right handle for your doors and windows. Let us explore some of the more mainstream handle options available to us here at Ostenta Décor, understand their advantages, and figure out the ideal distance for them from the flooring:

 

Types of Door Handles

 

 

Metro Handles

 

If you are looking to add a sleek, contemporary flair to your doors, metro-type door handles are a perfect choice. Known for their minimalist design and practical functionality, these handles are a favourite in modern interiors. Metro handles come in a rectangular or cuboid, or cylindrical shape that are easy to hold and push. By design, they lack intricate details, making them ideal for spaces with clean, minimal and modern aesthetics.

 

Multi/Single-point handles

 

Single and multi-point door and window handles ensure security and convenience and treat the properties as essential. A single-point handle typically operates a single locking mechanism, ideal for standard doors and windows where basic security is sufficient. For that purpose, they are simple, easy-to-use and cost-effective. Multi-point handles, on the other hand engage multiple locking points across the door and window frames when turned, providing utmost security possible against forced entry.

Touch-lock handle

 

Touch-lock handles are an innovative, modern, digital iteration of traditional locks. With a single touch, you can get your doors and windows locked or unlocked from multiple points. Touch locks are ideal for contemporary homes and offices. They are often integrated with advanced features such as fingerprint recognition and remote-control capabilities.  They not only provide a sleek, minimalist look but also deliver increased security, making them a popular choice for those seeking both style and functionality.

 

Conceal-lock handle

 

Conceal-lock handles, as the name suggests, offers a hidden locking mechanism, which is concealed within the handle itself, providing a clean, minimalist design that enhances the aesthetics of any space. As the handle is used and turned, the lock mechanism activates while staying out of sight, thus offering a seamless, unobtrusive, and minimally clean aesthetic. These kinds of handles are ideal for contemporary and high-end establishments. Conceal-lock handles combine functionality with style, offering both immense security and elegance.

 

Tilt-and-turn handle

 

Tilt-and-turn handles offer versatile and stylish features commonly found in modern windows. Tilt-and-turn handle design allows for the windows to be opened in two ways. One way in which you can tilt the windows inwards for ventilation and another where you can open the windows like a conventional casement window as they are found in Ostenta Décor. These types of handles allow for the making of tilt-and-turn windows that allow for maximum ventilation while allowing for utmost safety.

 

Position of a handle in a door or a window

 

We at Ostenta Décor offer a comprehensive service that aims to match both your aesthetics and functional needs. To ensure that we are on the same page of understanding how the handles would look and work, let us talk about measurements.

From the ground up, or from the flooring, the ideal distance for a handle on a door would be 1200 mm, and on a window the range would be between 1400-1600mm.

 

Conclusion

 

In conclusion, choosing the right handle for your aluminium doors and windows is essential for both functionality and style. Whether you prefer sleek metro handles, secure multi-point options, or innovative touch-lock designs, each offers unique benefits. Ostenta Décor provides a wide range of choices, ensuring the perfect fit for your space.
