Cup Handles

CUP HANDLES

A cup handle is defined by its cup-shaped design, providing a natural grip on kitchen cabinets, drawers, or other furniture. These handles are closed at the top and shaped like an inverted half-moon, making them both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Cup handles combine classic design with modern functionality and are a popular choice for various types of interiors.

History and Design

Cup handles have a long history dating back to the late 1800s. Originally, they were primarily used in merchant counters and kitchen benches, often in combination with small label holders. With their practical and ergonomic form, they have since become a timeless feature in both traditional and modern homes.

We offer a wide range of cup handles in different materials and finishes to suit all interior styles:

• Brass and Gold: These provide an elegant and timeless finish, perfect for both modern and classic environments.
• Stainless Steel and Brushed Nickel: Known for their durability and modern aesthetics, these handles are a classic choice for kitchens.
• Tin Oxide and Black Antique: Offer a softer, traditional feel and are popular in country kitchens.
• Copper: Provides a warm and industrial look, ideal for those seeking a raw yet stylish feel.
• Chrome: A modern and shiny finish that fits well in Scandinavian kitchens with white cabinets.

Use in Different Rooms

Cup handles are versatile and can be used in various parts of the home:

• Kitchen Cabinets: Ergonomic and stylish handles that make it easy to open and close doors.
• Bathroom Furniture: Durable and luxurious options that work well in humid environments.
• Bedroom Furniture: Renew dressers, sideboards, and wardrobes with stylish cup handles that harmonize with the room's overall decor.

Installation

Installing cup handles is easy and can be done with just a few tools:

• Screwdriver: To avoid damaging the handle or screw.
• Measuring Tape and Drill: To measure and drill holes in the correct position.
• Template: To ensure exact placement of the screw holes.

Follow these steps for installation:

1. Mark the position for the screw holes.
2. Pre-drill the holes with a drill bit slightly larger than the diameter of the screw.
3. Secure the cup handle with screws and ensure they are firmly in place.

Center-to-Center Measurement

The most common center-to-center measurement (the distance between the screw holes) for cup handles is 64 mm, but we also offer options with 96 mm. This measurement affects how the handle is gripped and how it fits on different surfaces.

The History of Cup Handles

The design of cup handles has evolved from simple wooden models to today's variations in metal and other modern materials. Their functional and aesthetic advantages have made them popular for over 100 years, and they continue to be a favorite choice in both classic and modern kitchens.
