About this article

Combining style, functionality, and durability, ironmongery plays a crucial role in any joinery project. From sleek cupboard handles and knobs, to innovative sliding door systems, selecting the right hardware can elevate any design and ensure long lasting, reliable performance. Keeping up to date with essential products is important for any modern joiner, so in this guide, our experts at Quest will explore the must-have items in your toolbox to ensure you can meet and exceed your client’s expectations, no matter the project you’re working on.

 

1. Add a fresh coat of paint image

1. Add a fresh coat of paint

A quick and easy way to transform any space, the power of a fresh lick of paint is often underestimated. All it takes is a quick sand down, a once-over with a cloth to remove leftover dirt and debris, a high-quality primer and, of course, a suitable paint to take a kitchen from old to new in a matter of days.

2. Switch up the hardware

Sometimes, small changes are what make the biggest difference, and switching out old hardware – like cabinet handles and knobs – is just one of the changes that can achieve a whole new look.

Flat or T-bar handles, for example, lend themselves well to more modern kitchen interiors, whilst arch handles or cup pulls, for example, help retain the vintage feel of a more traditional kitchen.

At Quest, we stock a range of kitchen cabinet handles and knobs that are available in an array of styles and finishes, so there’s something perfect for every project.

3. Consider LED cabinet lighting

Creating ambient lighting with cabinet lighting is a simple, cost-effective way of transforming the look of any kitchen space.

Not only does an extra layer of light improve the aesthetics of a space, but it also massively improves functionality and can even boost to resale value of a property.

At Quest, we supply a range of kitchen cabinet lights – from LED strip tape to LED spotlights triggered by PIR sensors – so there’s an option suitable for every kitchen.

 

4. Replace old cupboard doors

Replacing old cupboard doors with new ones is an excellent way to achieve a brand-new look without the hassle (or expense) of a full kitchen refit.

Regardless of the cupboard doors used, we supply all the necessary cabinet fittings – including cabinet hinges, magnet catches and cabinet door lift systems – to complete a quality installation for your clients for the upgrade of their dreams.

There are plenty of high-quality cabinet doors and frames available on the market that you can recommend to your clients looking to replace their old cabinetry.

Our sister company, Probox, is a leading supplier of high-quality cabinet doors and accessories, and can even create bespoke doors and frames to meet your client’s exact requirements.
