Choosing the right window handle depends on your own style and the requirements of your home. Here's how to find the right hardware.

When renovating and building, the choice of window handles and fittings comes at the very end. This is when you realize how important the small details are to the overall aesthetics of a home. Find out all about different materials for window handles and get inspired to find the perfect handle for your style.

Stainless steel is a popular material for window handles - and for good reason: with its silver color and smooth surface, stainless steel adds a modern and elegant touch to any room. Stainless steel fittings are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely durable and resistant to corrosion. Stainless steel is therefore a particularly good choice for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture plays a role. Its easy-care surface is also particularly hygienic. Anyone who chooses a clear, modern or minimalist interior style for their four walls will find the perfect complement in stainless steel handles.

As a material, brass radiates warmth or traditional charm. Depending on the design, the golden sheen of a brass handle creates a luxurious and inviting living atmosphere. Brass goes best with classic, rustic or antique furnishing styles - this material also complements wood tones particularly well. The natural patina that brass develops over time gives the handles a unique character. For lovers of traditional design and timeless elegance, brass handles create the perfect ambience.

Aluminum is known for its lightness and versatility. As it is available in different colors and surface finishes, it can be used very flexibly for different furnishing styles: Whether matt, glossy or colored - aluminum handles adapt perfectly to individual design ideas. Aluminum creates a particularly stylish effect of understatement in modern and industrial living styles.

Bronze handles are the perfect choice for rustic or antique interior looks. Their deep, warm color and robust texture create a natural living atmosphere. Bronze develops a beautiful patina over time, giving the handles an authentic and unique character. Bronze handles are the ideal addition to country-style homes or homes with a traditional interior, as they add charm and character to a home.

Zinc alloys are one of the most cost-effective handle alternatives without compromising on quality and design. Zinc fittings are offered in a variety of finishes and look just like more expensive materials. For those who want to add stylish touches without breaking the bank, zinc alloy window handles are an excellent choice.

Choosing the right window handle depends on your own sense of style and the specific requirements of your home. How large is the window, should the hardware be lockable and in which direction should it open? Whether it's the timeless elegance of stainless steel, the warm sheen of brass, the versatility of aluminum, the rustic charm of bronze or the cost-effectiveness of zinc alloys, there is a handle to suit every taste and budget.
