Concave handles made from EL-MECH-PLAST’s FLEXI BEND edging are an innovative solution for manufacturers of furniture fronts and furniture who are seeking a combination of modern design, durability and ease of use. They offer an attractive alternative to traditional handles and milled handle-free solutions, enabling the creation of elegant fronts with a minimalist character.

The use of FLEXI BEND edging ensures very high resistance to mechanical damage. Unlike milled handles finished with varnish, which can chip or scratch during everyday use, the flexible PVC material effectively absorbs minor impacts. As a result, the grip surface retains its aesthetic appearance, even with intensive use of the furniture.

Another significant advantage is its resistance to moisture and ease of cleaning. The uniform, smooth surface of the material minimises areas where dirt could accumulate, whilst the absence of the typical joints characteristic of recessed handles facilitates daily maintenance. This is particularly important in kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms where furniture is exposed to frequent contact with moisture. A properly manufactured PVC handle provides an attractive finish without the need for additional metal or plastic components.

Black FLEXI BEND edging is a NEW addition to the EL-MECH-PLAST range. It is a specialised material developed specifically for the production of concave handles. Thanks to its exceptional flexibility, it adapts perfectly to arcs and curves, maintaining a uniform colour without unsightly discolouration at the points of bend. The material also allows for multi-point machining, giving furniture manufacturers greater design freedom and enabling a precise, aesthetic finish even with more challenging shapes.
