Door handles on rosette or shield

Oh, what a dilemma; door handles on rosette or shield. Our different door handles can be divided into two groups: those with a rosette and those with a shield. If you choose a door handle with a shield, you will have a fairly large, rectangular plate on your door around your door handle. The door fitting to which the door handle is attached is one whole with the part that may contain a lock. If you choose a door handle on a rosette , there is only a small round or square plate around the door handle. If you also have a lock on the door, an extra rosette will be installed for this purpose.

Why door handles on rosette or shield?

The choice between door handles on rosette or shield is purely based on taste. They are both available in all shapes and materials, so this choice purely depends on your preference. But why is that actually necessary, such a rosette or shield? First of all, shields and rosettes serve to protect your door. Thanks to the shield and rosette, the moving part of the door handle does not come into contact with your door itself, so your door itself does not wear out. Secondly, a rosette or shield provides extra strength. The door handle has less room to move, so it remains firmly in place and does not hang. Thirdly, it is a neat form of finishing the hole through which your door handle is inserted. This way your door will look neat.

Door handles functionality

Door handles are not only functional components of doors, but also elements that contribute to the aesthetics and ease of use of a door. There are two main types of mountings for door handles: the rosette and the shield. Each offers a different visual and practical experience.

Rosette door handles are a modern and minimalist choice. A rosette is a small, often round or square plate that sits directly around the door handle. This type of mounting is discreet and does not take up much space on the door, providing a sleek and streamlined look. It is a popular choice in contemporary design and works especially well in homes or buildings where a minimalist style is preferred. In addition, installation is often easier because less drilling is required in the door. Door handles on rosette provide a minimalist finish.

Nice traditional look

Door handles on a shield, on the other hand, have a more traditional look. The shield is a larger plate that extends from the door handle, often to the edge of the door. This can have functional benefits, such as covering old boreholes or providing additional protection against wear around the crank mechanism. The shield can also be used for additional functionalities, such as an integrated keyhole or a privacy lock. Aesthetically, the shield can range from simple designs to highly decorative patterns, giving the user more scope to choose a style that suits the character of the home or building.

When choosing between a rosette or shield, one must take into account both the style of the door and the room as well as practical considerations such as the need to cover existing damage or provide additional functionality. The installation can also play a role; some people prefer the simplicity of a rosette, while others appreciate the traditional look and feel of a shield. The final decision will depend on the balance between aesthetic preference and functionality.

As mentioned, door handles on rosette or shield are available in all kinds of styles. This way you can see what suits you and your home. Do you have a modern house? Then go for a chrome rosette. Do you want something neutral? Then look between the door handles with shields. Something artistic? You will find many special shapes among the rosettes! There is something for everyone!
