Stainless solution
Sales of the Coastline hardware suite have increased by 30% over the last 12 months, with the Coastline letterboxes doubling in sales.
Part of the greenteQ range, the Coastline suite is produced from Grade 304 stainless-steel, so is exceptionally resistant to corrosion from aggressive coastal weather and offers a 25-year guarantee.
The suite includes a long backplate lever/lever door handle, a letterbox and Victorian urn door knockers (with or without viewing hole). Finishes include PVD gold, chrome and brushed and polished stainless-steel.
Adrian Gale, VBH product manager for timber and composite doors explains how Coastline came about, he said: “VBH customers asked for stainless-steel versions of our standard furniture that were designed for aggressive coastal environments. We listened and came up with a proper solution – a suite of fittings which withstand the harshest conditions.
“Coastline has been subjected to more than 1,000 hours salt spray testing to BS EN ISO 9227, and suits all styles and materials of door, including composite, PVCU, timber and aluminium.”
