The Longleaf Collection: A Spectrum of Possibilities

 

Decorative Hardware for the Perfect Finishing Touch

Don’t knock the importance on what your entryway says about your home — timeless, fresh, modern or elegant depending on the style.  Many times the first impression visitors receive when entering your home happens before reaching the living room and kitchen. Their first impressions begin with the outside of the house. The lawn, decorations, siding and trim – these are the visuals that make subconscious, yet powerful, first impressions on visitors before they even walk through the door.

And whether you are preparing to sell your home or simply inviting friends and neighbors over to watch the game, you want to make the best impression possible.

Perhaps you’ve recently replaced your door, or you’re shopping around for the perfect fit. Door hardware is an often-overlooked, but essential, entryway finishing touch. We all want door hardware that looks great, is easy to maintain, and above all, is secure. But, did you realize that door hardware can be customized to your exact wishes?

The Longleaf Collection expands hardware design possibilities of finishing touches by going beyond the “traditional” colors and finishes offered by many manufacturers. Longleaf hardware has interchangeable finishes, making a variety of different looks possible.Some of the most popular finishes include Matte Nickel, Antique Nickel, Antique Brass, Medium Bronze, Venetian Bronze, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Black. These look great on wood, glass, steel, PVC, fiberglass and aluminum doors.

For those of us who want a less traditional design, other standard and specialty colors are available, with just a few examples being Salmon Orange, Night Blue, Metallic Brass, Gold Vein and Zesty Copper. The design possibilities with Longleaf’s standard colors are already immense.

This is all to be expected from quality door hardware. But what does Longleaf offer that can truly set an entryway apart on a block of similar-looking homes, and help make the desired first impression?
