Salt‑laden air does not care how stylish a door handle looks. It corrodes cheap zinc in months and pits mediocre stainless in just a few seasons. For installers and fabricators working in coastal areas, every rusty handle represents revenue you never see again. Replacing failed hardware under warranty drains time, money and your reputation.
The fix is straightforward: specify a handle that shrugs at salt spray and keeps its finish for decades. That handle is Ultion Sweet.
Along the coast, airborne salt crystals cling to exposed metal and pull moisture from the atmosphere. The constant film of brine creates micro‑pitting that spreads beneath thin surface coatings. Daily temperature swings make matters worse by expanding and contracting those coatings until hairline cracks appear. Once that protective layer is breached, corrosion races ahead and customers soon see flaking and rust. Inevitably, they call you back to sort it out, and a single call‑back can wipe out the profit on the job.
Ultion Sweet tackles coastal corrosion on three fronts. First, the handle is finished with multiple layers of nickel and brass that create a barrier salt cannot penetrate. Second, it has sailed through an 8 000‑hour salt‑spray test (33x the EN 1906:2012 requirement) so you can install with genuine confidence. Finally, its rounded, edgeless profile leaves nothing for salt deposits (or mole grips) to latch on to. That combination is strong enough for us to back every Sweet handle with a 20 year anti‑corrosion guarantee, and we’ll even deal directly with the homeowner if pitting ever appears.
Sweet delivers instant kerb appeal and still looks box‑fresh years later. Happier homeowners mean fewer warranty visits and more 5 star reviews for you.
When you quote on a coastal project, start by explaining that Sweet’s 8 000‑hour test proves real‑world longevity where lesser coatings fail. Emphasise the long‑term cost saving: 1 quality handle now instead of 2-3 replacements later. Then close the deal by reminding the client that Sweet’s smooth shape is also a security feature, denying burglars any purchase for mole grips. Proven life span, lower total cost, and built‑in security convert even the most sceptical customer and this has been seen in the number of fabricators putting Sweet on their doors already.
Coastal homeowners are crying out for hardware that stays looking good. Give them Sweet and turn those jobs into repeat referrals.
