What Are Havolka Handles Made Of? Benefits of Zinc Hardware

The material of door and cabinet handles affects their durability, look, and feel. Havolka handles are made from zinc—a material known for its strength, flexibility, and ability to hold high-quality finishes.

But why is zinc the best choice for premium handles like The Long Handle?

1. Strong and Long-Lasting

Zinc is tough and resists daily use without damage. Unlike softer metals, it keeps its strength over time, ensuring The Long Handle and other Havolka handles last for years. It won’t easily dent, warp, or wear down, making it a reliable choice for homes and commercial spaces alike.

2. The Right Weight for Comfort

A handle should feel solid but not too heavy. Zinc has the perfect balance, giving The Long Handle a sturdy feel without being difficult to use. It provides a reassuring grip, making it comfortable for everyday use while maintaining a high-end appearance.

3. High-Quality Finishes That Last

Zinc takes finishes well, making it ideal for modern designs. The Long Handle comes in smooth nickel and matte black, both of which stay fresh-looking and resist wear. These finishes not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also protect against corrosion, scratches, and fading over time.

4. Better Value Than Brass

Brass is often used for high-end hardware, but zinc offers similar benefits at a lower cost. The Long Handle and other Havolka handles provide the same premium look and durability without the high price. This means you get a high-quality handle that looks expensive but remains affordable, making zinc an excellent option for budget-conscious homeowners and designers.

5. Precision and Style

Zinc is easy to shape, allowing for detailed and stylish designs. The Long Handle showcases this with its sleek, modern look that suits contemporary interiors. The ability to create sharp lines, smooth curves, and refined edges ensures that every Havolka handle is both functional and visually appealing.

6. Environmentally Friendly Choice

Zinc is a sustainable material that can be recycled and reused. By choosing zinc-based handles like The Long Handle, you’re opting for a more eco-friendly solution that reduces waste and promotes sustainability without sacrificing quality or design.

The Havolka Standard

Havolka ensures every handle meets high standards for durability, design, and function. The Long Handle combines style, strength, and affordability, making it a perfect choice for modern homes. With its solid construction, premium finishes, and ergonomic feel, it exemplifies the best qualities of zinc hardware.
