When buying a kitchen, you can either choose a handleless kitchen or a kitchen with handles.
For many people, this is certainly not an easy choice. Thus, both options have advantages and/or disadvantages.
Handleless kitchen
A handleless kitchen has a modern, clean look. The lines of the cabinet doors stand out beautifully.
A great advantage of a handleless kitchen is that the front is easy to clean when there are no kitchen handles. Another advantage is that with a handleless kitchen you can no longer get stuck or hurt yourself by accidentally bumping into it. These two things are the case with a kitchen with handles.
A handleless kitchen also has its disadvantages. One disadvantage is that with a handleless kitchen you always have to touch the cabinet fronts when you want to open the cabinet. This causes dirt and fingerprints to get on the cabinet fronts quickly. Also, a handleless kitchen cabinet or drawer simply has less cabinet space than a cabinet or drawer with handles. This is due to the frames that are underneath the worktop. A handleless kitchen generally has about 5% less storage space. Furthermore, the handleless drawer is relatively heavy and you have to apply a lot of force to open it via the pressure system than when you use a handle. Finally, the mechanism of a handleless kitchen can break down more quickly.
Kitchen with handles
A kitchen with handles gives your home a stylish, practical and robust look.
The advantage of a kitchen with handles is that the doors open easily. Less force is required to open the doors than when opening a handleless kitchen with a push system. In addition, a robust handle is less likely to break than the system of a handleless kitchen. Finally, a kitchen with handles has more storage space.
A kitchen with handles also has disadvantages. For example, you can easily bump into or get your clothes stuck on a kitchen with handles. In addition, a kitchen with handles takes up more space on the outside and a frame with handles is less easy to clean than the front of a handleless kitchen.
Today there is a wide range of kitchen handles. So you can easily select kitchen handles to suit your own taste and your current interior.
When deciding between a horizontal or vertical handle, remember that it has to be aesthetically pleasing, but above all practical. For example, it is important that all cabinets and drawers in your kitchen open easily. It is also possible to replace your kitchen handles with other handles now or at a later date.
