HARDWARE
2020 Just got a little sweeter
» 2020 SEES BRISANT LAUNCHING A
brand new 20-year guarantee on the Sweet
hardware system. It’s taken the decision to leap
from ten years to twenty, following the rigorous
testing which the handles and letterplates have
been put through over the last year.
The choices the team made in
manufacturing, coating with six layers of
armour, have paid off. They put a handle
in an independent test chamber and it still
looked great, even after being hammered
with saltwater for over 8,000 hours. That’s an
incredible 30x more time than required for the
flagship EN 1906:2012 corrosion standard.
Sweet is an edgeless, long lasting, pit-free
beautiful hardware system for any door. It
comprises of two types of handle, including
the patented secure and award-winning Lock
Lock. In addition to the standard colour
range, Brisant has added the on-trend rose
gold. It looks fantastic on all door colours
and is manufactured to the same standard
as the original colours. 2020 also sees the
introduction of the two-part knocker which
is still true to the Sweet design concept but
moving on from the historical ‘urn’ knockers.

and air flow, was provided by a consultant

number of sectors and has particular appeal
for properties located near busy roads,
