This guide will provide you with information on everything we can on these pulls. The first way we will try and do this is to show you all the types of materials that can be used. This is not a complete list but presents to you the most commonly used ones that you are very likely to find.

We have come up with a list of 7 most used materials used in the manufacture of cabinet pulls.

Aluminum - in an outdoor area where you will have rain and are looking for the right material then this is it. Aluminum does not rust so this could be the type that you want.

Glass - these can look really great but it is best not to use them in high use areas or where there are children present. There is nothing worse if you cut yourself on your hand if it breaks.

Bronze - These feel heavy and sturdy in your hand so is best suited to a large and grand cabinet, or a very sturdy one at the very least. It will give the look and feel of something old world and possibly add a touch of history.

Wood - if you end up finding wooden cabinet pulls you will be sure to want to keep them for a long time because they are unique. If you manage to find ones that have been hand crafted they will definitely stand out.

Brass - Similar to the bronze pulls but not as heavy the brass pulls give the feel of something old too. If renovating a piece or just want the antique look than this is what you should get.

Ceramic - this is often used on specific types of cabinets with a certain look. The same things apply for glass. These can break so be careful and maybe purchase a few more than you need just in case.

Nickel -is similar to aluminum because it does not rust, or not very easily anyway. This means that it is also good for the outdoors and can also be shiny and sturdy and looks great.

From all of the above, it is very obvious that there are just so many materials used when it comes to pulls. You need to make sure that the material matches the facing of the cabinet too. If not, and you really like the pulls and not your cabinet then it might be time to look at these cabinet refacing ideas. Choosing one will depend on your personal taste as well as the item you will be installing it on. Getting down to the small things and basic things and choosing the right ones can make all of the difference to a look. Have fun on your journey to find the best pull for you.
