Go for the Gold! No comments yet

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. If you need your hardware even faster, we offer a variety of expedited shipping options to get the hardware to your door by the day you need it. Cliffside’s customer representatives strive for excellent service and unparalleled reliability to ensure customer loyalty; please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you!

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.

You’ve met your match! 2 comments

Trying to coordinate all of the fixtures in your kitchen? Having a tough time finding hardware to match? Tired of looking at sample after sample of hardware? Well, look no further! By popular demand, Cliffside is now offering a “finish guide” to coordinate our most popular colors with some of the biggest names in the kitchen and bath fixture industry.

Antique Brass

Antique Brass

To match Cliffside’s Antique Brass finish, we suggest Kohler’s “vibrant French gold,” which complements the warm golden tone of AB, or “vibrant brushed bronze,” which matches the detailing shown in an antique brass piece.

Black

Coordinating with FB is no difficult task; however, Cliffside offers some suggestions. Both Moen and Kohler offer a “matte black” finish, which is the closest to Cliffside’s black; Delta’s “black” and Grohe’s “black” finishes will also match well. Kohler also offers a “black black” finish, which is more of a gloss black. You can coordinate with FB or with Cliffside’s Nickel Chrome finish. For a contrast, try black hardware with stainless steel.

Iron

Unfortunately, our research team was unable to locate any faucets that matched Cliffside’s Iron finish; however, it adds a decorative accent to any room while maintaining the popular gray tones that you might find in a standard stainless or black faucet.

Old Antique

Old Antique

Matching the Old Antique was certainly not our easiest job. The best match that we have located is American Standard’s “blackened bronze” finish, which highlights the rich, dark color of Old Antique. If you are looking for a contrast with your OA instead, consider the “ivory” finish from Moen, or the  “biscuit” and “almond” finishes from Kohler.

Old Copper

None of the major manufacturers provide a copper finish to match Cliffside’s Old Copper at this time; however, there are plenty of antique copper faucets on the market from smaller manufacturers that would look smashing with this finish.

Polished Brass

The old hardware standby, Polished Brass, is not wildly popular in the world of faucets and plumbing. However, American Standard still manufactures a “polished brass” faucet, and Kohler has the “vibrant polished brass” finish available, if the lustrous gold of PB strikes your fancy.

Polished Chrome

Does it get any easier than this? All five of the top manufacturers in the plumbing industry (Grohe, Delta, Moen, Kohler, and American Standard) make a wide variety of polished chrome faucets and fixtures; you can find nearly any style you want in this finish, and Cliffside’s recently expanded Polished Chrome line complements it perfectly. Kohler also offers a “brushed chrome” for a more subdued look.

Polished Nickel

Polished Nickel

In contrast to the popular Polished Chrome above, only Kohler, with their “vibrant polished nickel,” has a finish in faucets to match the warmer color of Cliffside’s Polished Nickel. However, for designers looking to utilize polished nickel hardware, a stainless or brushed nickel faucet should match the warm color tone very well.

Stainless Steel

 The juggernaut of the plumbing industry, Cliffside’s Stainless Steel hardware (BNA finish) matches perfectly with any stainless steel fixture, which is offered by all of the top five manufacturers in a variety of styles. With this finish, you can match nearly any fixture style you prefer.

Silver Satin 

The Silver Satin will match any of the above stainless products and more! American Standard also offers a “satin nickel” finish, and Kohler offers a variety of gray-toned brushed finishes, including “vibrant stainless” and “vibrant brushed nickel.”

Venetian Bronze

Venetian Bronze

Cliffside’s VB finish takes its name from Delta’s “Venetian bronze;” however, it also shares a color tone with the “oil-rubbed bronzes” of Kohler and Grohe. The copper showing through on the details and edges matches well with all of these finishes, but if you want the hardware to be slightly more subdued, you can easily match all of these faucets with the Old Antique as well.

Press Release: New hinge styles and finishes No comments yet

Cliffside Industries is also adding two new finishes to the hinge line: Antique English and Venetian Bronze.

Both of these finishes will be available on the BH2A and BH2A-NM lines, the BH2A-BALL and BH2A-NM-BALL lines, and the BH3NA line.

These four finishes are new in addition to the four that we have carried for several years: Antique Brass, Polished Brass, Oxidized Brass, and Silver Satin.

The newest finish in the line is Venetian Bronze, soon to be available in all of our most popular hardware styles. The finish is characterized by a rich brown color with a burnished copper undertone.

Featured product line: Latches No comments yet

Ice box cupboard latch available soon in antique brass!

The Ice Box Cupboard Latch, or IBCL, is a recent addition to our product line, and is offered in seven vibrant finishes. These pieces are relatively unique throughout the kitchen and bath industry, and are often hard to find or require a long lead time. Cliffside, however, has these items in stock and ready to ship as part of our signature hardware line. The available finishes currently include silver satin, polished nickel, old antique, polished chrome, polished brass, flat black, and old copper, with three new finishes to come with our new product lines arriving in early 2009.

With six holes aligned along the sides of the cast-brass surface, the Ice Box Latch is easy to install, is practical to use, and Cliffside offers the lowest prices in the hardware industry on products of this type! The design of the latch is inspired by the traditional ice box door handle and is secured to the door frame by a simple solid brass catch with a matching finish. Each latch also comes with matching screws. The thumb pull has an exceptionally smooth mechanism aided by a high-quality spring hidden inside the cast frame. This is a distinctively unique piece of hardware that adds a professional look to any door.

Solid brass cupboard latch in polished nickel coming soon!

The Solid Brass Cupboard Latch, or SBCL, has been part of the Cliffside line for several years, but is nearly as popular as the new IBCL. This turn-style latch is sleek and stylish with a rounded knob and solid construction. It is currently available in five finishes, including polished chrome, flat black, polished brass, old antique, and silver satin. Five more finishes are coming soon, including Venetian bronze, old copper, iron, antique brass, and polished nickel.

Though this particular style of latch is much more common in the hardware industry than the ice box latch, Cliffside’s solid brass latch is priced competitively within the industry, offered at more than 30% off the comparable items sold by our competitors. This traditional-style latch is also an excellent way to keep your doors secured. Whereas a standard knob or pull is only used to open a door, latches keep your doors closed tightly, your belongings away from prying eyes.

Ice Box Latches - current and new!

The IBCL is 1⅞” by 1½”, while the SBCL is 2″ by 1⅞”. Both are made from cast solid brass and are warrantied by the same policy that covers all Cliffside hardware (see our FAQ for more details). If you have any questions or are interested in ordering either of these pieces, please contact customer service!
