Replacing Handles With Vesio Handles
Customers asked these questions about Vesio Handle
Answers from experts.
The most critical measurement is the "Centre-to-Centre" (C-C) distance-the space between the two screw holes. You need to measure your existing holes in millimetres (e.g., 96mm, 128mm, 160mm) and match that exactly to the size options available. Do not measure the total length of the handle, as the overhangs vary; only the screw distance matters for a retrofit.
Mounting Handles Vertically Or Horizontally
Can I mount these vertically and horizontally?
Absolutely. The fluid, curved design of the Vesio looks equally deliberate whether mounted horizontally on wide drawers or vertically on overhead cupboards. Many designers use a mix of both orientations in the same kitchen to create visual interest while keeping the hardware consistent.
Modern Kitchens With Curved Handles
My kitchen is very square and modern. Will this look too soft?
The Vesio is actually the perfect counterbalance to a "blocky" kitchen. If you have square-edged stone benchtops and flat-panel cabinetry, adding a handle with a slight curve or twist softens the harsh lines without looking traditional. It adds a touch of organic flow to an otherwise rigid room.
Preventing Handle Ends Catching Pockets
Will the ends of the handle catch my pockets?
One of the key design features of the Vesio is its "closed" or "returned" ends (depending on the specific variant, but usually smooth transitions). Unlike bar handles with sharp overhanging ends that snag belt loops and pockets, the Vesio's profile is generally smooth and self-contained, making it much safer for narrow walkways and islands.
Cleaning Cabinet Handles Properly
How do I clean them properly?
The best way to maintain the finish for 10+ years is simple: warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth. If you spill food or grease on them, wipe it off immediately. Never use silver polish, bleach, or "gumption" style pastes, as these will micro-scratch the surface and eventually lead to tarnishing.
Solid Vs Hollow Cabinet Handles
Is the handle solid metal or hollow?
The Vesio is manufactured from solid Zinc Alloy. Unlike cheaper, hollow tube handles that feel light and "tinny," this has a reassuring weight to it. The solid construction means it won't dent if banged with a pot, and it maintains a premium temperature (cool to the touch) that signifies quality.
