Archdale, N.C. – Häfele America Co. is now offering more decorative hardware options with the addition of four new collections and the expansion of an existing collection. The new collections include Antimicrobial, Paragon, Mulberry and Breakers, and the Bella Italiana collection has been updated to include 30 additional components.

“These new collections fill the gaps in our previous offerings and allow Häfele to provide even more decorative hardware solutions,” said Greg Sheets, product manager for decorative hardware at Häfele. “Additionally, the Antimicrobial collection offers an advanced technology for spaces from homes to hospitals.”

The Antimicrobial collection is a unique product with double finishes. The first is in a matt nickel, matt chrome or stainless steel finish for style, while the second is a clear durable coating with silver ions to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Ideal for commercial uses, this collection includes six different pieces.

“In addition to the antimicrobial technology, we are also diversifying our offerings with new transitional collections,” said Sheets. “The Paragon, Mulberry and Breakers are transitional collections that take classic designs and add a contemporary feature or element, which has become increasingly popular in kitchens and bathrooms throughout the U.S.”

The Paragon collection is the largest of the transitional collections and offers 21 items in oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel and polished nickel finishes. The Mulberry collection includes five pieces in oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel and polished nickel finishes, while the Breakers collection consists of a handle and knob in an oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel and polished chrome finish.

Additionally, the popular Bella Italiana collection has been updated with 30 new handles, knobs and wardrobe hooks in finishes including stainless steel, brushed and satin nickel, polished chrome and aluminum.

Specifics and additional photographs of these new collections, in addition to many others, can be found in the new 2014 Decorative Hardware Catalog from Häfele. The catalog can be accessed at www.hafele.com/us.
