New product introduction: K344-5 No comments yet

The 4 sizes of K344 pull in Iron

The K344 series of pulls are the core of Cliffside’s Rope Suite, and the 5″cc version, newly added, is the most prominent change to this line in several years. While the addition of the 8″cc small appliance size in 2009 was a great improvement, and the enlargement of the B721 knob has proven very popular, adding the 5″cc size will have, we believe, the greatest impact of any changes we have made.

Pictured at right in Iron, the K344-5, shown with its matching 3″cc, 8″cc, and 12″cc sizes, has a gentle curve with the attractive rope design that makes this suite so eye-catching. You can see from the photograph how the details of the piece capture every subtle touch of the finish to make a bold look. Due to their size, the 5″cc pulls are an attractive complement to the rope-style moulding found in many traditional cabinets, and the tiered foot adds a touch of elegance.

Wide World of… Hardware!?

Love football? See BR190!

As Florida celebrated last night’s NCAA football championship, they hoisted a football-shaped crystal trophy. Tight end Aaron Hernandez led his team in catches, as quarterback Tim Tebow rushed for over 100 yards. He displayed incredible speed, as does Cliffside’s warehouse, who will ship your hardware within 24 hours of receipt of the order, as long as the pieces are in stock.

Raw brass on the new ball-tip hinges, coming soon

High quality hardware has a reputation for fine workmanship and how well it maintains a finish. These materials, used in making many of our products, have a natural finish that often forms its own natural protective coating that prevents tarnish, oxidation and corrosion and is up to 3 times as durable as plated economy hardware. High quality hardware is strong and flexible, very versatile, has a significantly longer lifespan than products made of economy materials and has lower maintenance costs. Often double the weight of comparably sized economy hardware, high quality hardware is solid, quite dense, and sturdy. The average retail sales price premium for all of these advantages averages only 20%.

Brass is a metal alloy used in making many of our high-quality products. Many of our pieces are classified as solid brass, meaning that they are not hollow and are composed entirely of brass, making them quite dense, and very durable. The brass used to manufacture Cliffside’s solid brass hardware consists of approximately 60% copper, 37% zinc, and 3% other trace metals.

A bronze cup pull

Bronze is a metal alloy produced by blending copper and tin. It can contain between 2% and 20% tin. It is a sturdy, durable metal and is much harder than brass. The resonance of bronze makes it ideal. Bronze has a natural patina that forms on it turning the bronze a dark, dull color and provides a protective layer preventing oxidation below the surface of the bronze. Most bronze is coated with a thin layer of lacquer to protect the metal and the patina. Bronze looks its best when it is minimally treated. Read more »
