Push Versus Pull Handles!

At Custom Basins, we understand that functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand. That's why we offer a variety of handle options including ‘integrated push mechanisms’ which are ideal for a minimalist look. These mechanisms are added to our potable sink unit's design, providing a clean and modern appearance.​

We also have ‘traditional pull handles’ which are available in various finishes such as chrome, gold, and matte black, these handles can complement your salon's decor.

Which should you choose?

Push mechanisms are typically integrated into the design of the unit, allowing for a sleek appearance. They often operate by pressing on the door or drawer front, which then opens via a spring mechanism or magnetic catch.​

Pull Handles protrude from the surface and are grasped to open doors or drawers. They come in various styles and finishes, adding a decorative element to your salon's design.

When choosing the right handle type for your salon, it’s important to consider both style and practicality.

Push mechanisms are an excellent choice for salons seeking a sleek, modern appearance. Their integrated design helps create a clean, streamlined aesthetic, ideal for contemporary interiors. Push mechanisms are also a smart option in spaces where safety is a priority, as they eliminate protruding parts that could catch on clothing or pose a hazard in tight areas.

If your salon favours a minimalist look, push mechanisms offer both functionality and understated elegance.

However, pull handles are a reliable and stylish option for salons with a more classic or decorative design theme. They are generally easier to operate, making them well-suited to busy environments where quick access is essential.

Pull handles also tend to offer greater durability, standing up well to frequent use which is an important consideration in busy salons. Their range of finishes and styles also allows for more personalisation, helping you match your handles perfectly with the rest of your salon décor.

Choosing between push and pull mechanisms depends on your salon's design, functionality needs, and personal preference.

At Custom Basins, we offer a range of handle options to ensure your salon not only looks exceptional but also operates efficiently. Explore our bespoke no mains water connection units and find the perfect fit for your space. Get in touch to find out more!
