Alpro Impressionist door handles

The Alpro Impressionist 2 handles have a diameter of 32mm and there are options of 250/300/400 and 600mm centres. Finishes can be anodised, satin stainless or polished stainless. Handles are supplied with dedicated bolt-thro or back-to-back fixing packs as standard.

Keith Parry, Sales Director at Alpro, said: “The Impressionist handles can be nylon or powder-coated and on this project the client opted for satin stainless with a grey powder coat to complement the building’s outer cladding which features a timber grain effect and inset windows. We offer several nylon-coated colours ex-stock with additional colours to match customer livery supplied to a 10-working-day lead time.”
