Description
A fingerplate is a practical and decorative accessory for doors that is designed to protect the surface of the door from fingerprints, smudges, and general wear and tear. Also known as a push plate or kick plate, a fingerplate is typically installed on the lower portion of the door, around the height of the door handle, where it is most susceptible to contact and potential damage.
Fingerplates are available in a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic. The choice of material depends on the desired aesthetic, durability, and maintenance requirements. Brass fingerplates offer a classic and elegant look, while stainless steel and aluminum fingerplates provide a sleek and modern appearance. Plastic fingerplates are often more cost-effective and can be suitable for less demanding applications.
The primary purpose of a fingerplate is to act as a barrier between the door surface and frequent contact, such as pushing or kicking the door open. It helps prevent scratches, scuffs, and other forms of damage that can occur over time, particularly in high-traffic areas. By placing a fingerplate on the door, you can maintain the integrity and appearance of the door surface, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for repairs or refinishing.
In addition to its protective function, a fingerplate can also serve as a decorative element. Many fingerplates feature intricate designs, patterns, or engravings that can complement the overall aesthetics of the door and surrounding decor. They can add a touch of elegance, style, or uniqueness to the door, enhancing the visual appeal of the space.
