Furniture hardware in aluminium is much lighter in weight than the ones in other metals. Aluminium as a material has a silver-white colour and is soft in appearance as well to touch. Cabinet handles and drawer knobs in aluminium are easy to maintain, and they blend well in with the rest of the interior.

Aluminium pulls and knobs are mostly made in solid aluminium. There are also handles and knobs with other base materials such as brass or zink alloy, with a coating of aluminium.
