Premium Architectural Hardware That’s The Perfect Match For NMJ
With every bespoke timber window or door we create at NMJ, our experience, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are embedded into every piece. From the finest raw materials to the perfect finishing touches for your home, every element of our handcrafted joinery is carefully designed, considered, and completed in-house by us for you.
But, one component that customers often overlook can contribute to the finish of each bespoke timber door or window. Of course, we’re talking about luxury door or window hardware. Handles, hinges, locks, levers, and window fittings. Much more than just nice-looking accessories, these products are an essential part of the design, adding to the overall aesthetic, functionality, and user experience of the finished item.
Introducing Croft Architectural Hardware
At NMJ, we take great pride in handcrafting exceptional timber windows and doors with a classic and timeless appearance that are built to last. But to achieve the ultimate in discerning quality for every customer, we partner with top-quality suppliers who can bring their product expertise to take every door or window we make to the next level of excellence. One of these partners is Croft Architectural Hardware.
As an established British manufacturer based in the Midlands, Croft specialises in quality architectural hardware for doors and windows. With their product range designed and crafted in England, Croft offers not just functional pieces but items that enhance the look and feel of your home, adding a touch of elegant, hand-finished luxury wherever they’re placed.
So, here we’ll look at why we choose this type of premium architectural hardware and why Croft is the first choice for complementing our bespoke timber doors and windows.
When we work with our customers to create bespoke timber doors or windows that meet their needs and preferences, we’ll often talk about their specific hardware requirements during our initial ideas stage. Architectural hardware is an element that can get neglected, but it’s such an integral component and will add something more than just functionality to the window or door design. Here’s why selecting the right hardware is critical:
Visual appeal
The look and feel of any handcrafted timber doors and windows are a world away from mass-produced alternatives and the craftsmanship and natural beauty of the material make a bold statement to any home. But, if the hardware doesn’t complement this craftsmanship, it can detract from the overall finish.
Croft’s architectural hardware range offers a variety of luxury finishes and styles, from traditional to contemporary, giving you a beautiful finish that’s completely aligned with your design. Whether it’s a classic aged brass sash lift or a sleek satin nickel door lever, Croft’s hardware isn’t just a functional part but an integral component that gives high-end visual appeal.
Durability & longevity
Bespoke timber doors and windows are an investment, handcrafted and built to last with quality hardware to match. Architectural hardware is designed for a long life, and using premium materials such as solid brass and bronze means the hardware looks amazing but also ensures it stays durable with daily use and even in different weather, temperature, and climate conditions.
By choosing Croft premium hardware that’s designed and made with durability in mind, you protect your hardware while making sure your bespoke timber doors or windows function properly for years.
Performance
Beyond visuals and durability, the performance of your doors and windows is just as important. Premium hardware means smooth, reliable operation and better functionality with seamless movement and precision engineering. As a result, you get long-lasting performance and easy maintenance for effortless and trouble-free daily use.
Croft’s door and window quality hardware is designed for functionality, whether you choose from locks, latches, and hinges or levers, knobs, and interior fittings. Each component is crafted with the user experience in mind so your timber windows and doors look elegant and function at their best.
