Hinge brackets look simple, but a one-millimetre error in hole spacing can stop a cabinet door from closing flush.

As more of our clients set environmental targets for their buildings and products, we are often asked how brass hardware fits into a sustainable specification. The answer is encouraging. Brass is one of the most recyclable engineering materials in use today, and its long service life means fewer replacements and less waste over the life of a building.

Walk into any well-made hotel lobby, heritage shophouse or high-end residence and you will almost certainly find brass. Door handles, hinges, cabinet pulls and decorative trims made from this copper-zinc alloy have been specified by architects and furniture makers for generations. At Innovation Global Group Limited we have worked with brass since 2015, and we still consider it the benchmark against which other hardware materials are measured.
