With the conclusion of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Cliffside is taking the time to examine some of our own “metal” winners. Here are the top three reasons to choose Cliffside over other hardware suppliers:

The (Oil-Rubbed) Bronze Medal: Style

Venetian Bronze is one of Cliffside's two oil-rubbed bronze finishes.

Cliffside Industries’ hardware suites offer a variety of styles in 10 signature finishes. All items within the suites are available in every finish, so you have the ability to mix and match simple styles like the Classic Suite with the designer touches of the Criss-Cross Suite, or the timeless design of the Scroll Suite with the unique twist of the Rope Suite. The selection of finishes allows you to come to Cliffside for all of your hardware needs: you can put together several distinct rooms in the same home just using one hardware suite!

The Silver (Satin) Medal: Speed

Cliffside's ball-tip hinges were introduced in 2009.

All stock items from Cliffside ship from our warehouse within 24 hours of receiving your order. Whether it’s hinges or handles, knobs or pulls that you need, Cliffside Industries is ready and willing to fulfill any and all of your hardware needs.

The Gold Medal: Quality

Like gold? Try Antique Brass!

No other company in the hardware industry can match the quality that Cliffside Industries’ hardware provides. Crafted from the finest materials, our solid brass hardware provides a security that you simply cannot get with products made from zinc or other economy materials. In particular, Cliffside’s hinges, developed in cooperation with some of the industry’s largest and most well-respected manufacturers, are constructed with the help of our European partners with a reputation for the finest precision manufacturing.

For all of your hardware needs, Cliffside Industries is a winner! Please contact us if you have any questions on any products that we offer.

Feel the difference

Cliffside Industries — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:17:11 +0000

Because cabinet hardware is looked upon mainly as a design accent in many fields, deciding on, and purchasing, the correct hardware for your kitchen or bathroom should be a sensory experience. The kitchen, as a whole, is the center of taste, smell, and sound in the household; just as you “eat with your eyes,” you should also “shop with your hands.” Feel the difference that Cliffside hardware can make on your new cabinets!

Featured finish: Venetian bronze

Cliffside Industries — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 20:05:17 +0000

B721-VB

In conjunction with our new product line rollout, Cliffside Industries has introduced a brand-new finish to complement our top nine colors already available. The new Venetian bronze finish is a luxurious blend of rich chocolate brown and vibrant copper that shows exquisite detailing on even the plainest of pieces. Pieces with raised centers and small designs now have an opportunity to “pop” visually on your cabinets and drawers.

K544-VB

One of the most distinctive features of the VB finish is the “thumbprint” mark created in the production process. On cup pulls and on many knobs in the Venetian bronze, a bright streak of copper highlights the difference in color tones between the dark and the light. This design is also prevalent on the B674 series rope knob and on the SP series pulls, where the brushing appears on the surface of the center scroll, on the bends of the pull, and around the rim of the backplate.

BH2A-VB-BALL

This fabulous finish will be available in all of our most popular-selling items, including all items that are part of the new hardware suites. This includes:

Ten knobs (100, 100-20, 105, 110, 158, 161, B674, B721, K-579, K-580)
Four 3″cc pulls (B1-3, K344, P-399, SP-3)
Four 3″cc cup pulls (K341, K4235, K544, P-398)
Four 8″cc oversized pulls (B1-8, K344-8, P-399-8, SP-8)
Four 12″cc appliance pulls (B1-12, K344-12, P-399-12, SP-12)
Two cupboard latches (IBCL, SBCL)
Six hinges (BH2A, BH2A-NM, BH2A-BALL, BH2A-NM-BALL, BH3NA, 3-8-OFFSET)

The beauty in nature

M13-32-SS, lead crystal with a silver satin stem

Natural materials, such as brass, crystal, stainless steel, bronze, iron, pewter, stone and marble are very popular. These are being integrated in all areas of the home, especially kitchens and baths. In fact, they are often mixed and matched throughout so that it remains interesting to the eye.

There are many brass and stainless steel materials in the kitchen and we are seeing a lot of crystal in master suites. Natural brass, stainless steel and crystal are the most popular and tend to be the main materials that are used.

T565-30-BNA, a contemporary knob made from stainless steel

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is found throughout the housing industry: on dishwashers, refrigerators, sinks, ovens, microwaves, coffee makers, blenders, towel bars, and even plumbing and electrical fixtures. Crystal has really made a comeback, as well, and it has become a focal point of the master bath.

Neutral finishes

Many designers find that it’s best to stay neutral when it comes to finish. Color palettes today lean toward neutral elements to create a timeless appeal and a high-end environment. We’re seeing an increased desire for silver and gray finishes and natural earth tones.

BH3NA-OA; the old antique finish is a rich brown color

Soothing, cool colors and rich materials are in demand often highlighted by mixtures of color and texture, such as stainless steel appliances with gray hardware, or darker cabinets mixed with dark chocolate brown hardware. The gray and natural materials and the very clean, simple classic lines are more enduring.

Overall, it is definitely more of a natural look, with grays, tans, and browns, and with hardware accessories giving an accented flair to the design.

Cabinet jewelry

For the finishing touches of kitchen and master bath remodels, designers should strive to find the ideal hardware finish. Full suites of products, particularly in cabinet hardware, are offered, which should give designers confidence that those finishes and styles are going to be compatible and consistent.

IBCL-PN shows the polished nickel finish

Nickel is a very popular finish throughout the home-building and design industries, both brushed and polished; oil-rubbed bronze is a popular look, as are bright or brushed chrome finishes. We see similar trends in hardware; the most popular finish is satin silver followed by oil-rubbed bronze, but antique finishes are still very popular. Typically, these finishes are chosen from the same color family, and blend with the appliances and cabinetry.

There are now hand-forged hardware pieces, as well as ones adorned with real crystal. The appearance of these items supports the fact that consumers want unique details that will set their space apart from others. It all comes down to details.

Cliffside offers several different marble options, including this S-3-BEIGE.

Hardware is also a key component to giving any space a completed look. There are a variety of hardware options available to enhance a kitchen and master bath remodel. Hardware is extremely important. The hardware is meant to look like jewelry on the cabinetry, not match it. It’s key that the hardware be beautiful; and everything else has to follow suit. People also prefer natural materials, such as solid brass and stainless steel, and natural looks, like marble, crystal, and stone, whenever possible.

Overall, consumers and dealers are looking for their kitchen and master bath designs to mimic the look and feel of the spa retreat, and these traditional or contemporary spaces are taking on a cleaner, uncluttered, more elegant look.
