Mila is launching a new ‘Supa’ range of stainless steel pull handles with a new ‘Duo’ finish which gives composite door manufacturers a great opportunity to differentiate their ranges.
Designed in house by Mila to ‘really stand out in the crowded door market’, the new finish is a combination of polished and brushed stainless steel. It is available initially on the inline and offset versions of the new pull handles and has polished sections at the top and bottom and a brushed section in the middle – combining what are described as ‘aspirational’ looks with practical performance.
Mila’s new Supa range was developed following close consultation with some of the UK’s leading composite door manufacturers and comes with a 25 year guarantee on all the finishes and in a variety of sizes, styles and fixing options.
Mila’s managing director, Richard Gyde, said: “This new finish is a really original innovation in the fast growing composite door sector and gives manufacturers the chance to offer something that little bit different to their customers.
“It gives the premium, contemporary style doors which are currently so popular a real boost, and also allows buyers to create their own distinctive looks by coordinating the pull handle with either a brushed or a polished finish on the rest of their door hardware.”
The new Mila pull bar handle range includes three lengths of inline and offset handles in a choice of silver or gold stainless steel Duo finishes and eight lengths in all over brushed stainless steel. There are also C-shape, V-shape and bow shape handles in brushed stainless steel, and all can be supplied in through fix, concealed fix or back to back fixing options.
The new pull handles are the latest products to be added to Mila’s ‘Supa’ stainless steel hardware range. All of the hardware in this range comes in two grades of stainless steel – 304 with 18% chromium and 8% nickel for general applications, and 316 with 16% chromium, 10% nickel and an added 2% molybdenum for extra corrosion resistance in coastal regions and areas of high pollution.
Mila is able to offer a 25 year guarantee on the finishes for both grades, when used in line with its geographical recommendations, because of the ongoing quality assurance work it carries out on the specification and testing of its steel at all stages of the manufacturing process.
