Are polished brass projection and parliament hinges suitable for UK homes?

Yes. Polished Brass Projection and Parliament Hinges are commonly used across UK renovations and new builds. Choose the correct size and fixing type for your door, cabinet or furniture application.

Do polished brass finishes tarnish?

Some polished brass products are lacquered to help slow tarnishing. Unlacquered brass can develop a natural patina over time, especially in humid or coastal environments.

How do I clean polished brass projection and parliament hinges?

Use a soft cloth with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For unlacquered brass, occasional polishing can restore shine.

Can I match other items in the same finish?

Yes. For a consistent look, match your main item with coordinating hinges, latches, knobs or accessories in polished brass.

Classic Finish, Maximum Function

When a timber door needs to swing completely clear of the frame, projection hinges and parliament hinges are the go-to solution. Their wide-throw design allows doors to open flat against a wall - especially important where decorative architraves, panelling, or reveals are present.

The polished brass finish offers a traditional look, making it ideal for period homes, listed buildings, and classic renovations. With sizes like 4×4 projection hinges and 4×2×4 parliament options, you can achieve both clearance and elegance in one fitting.

Features & Typical Applications

Wide Throw Design: Moves the door away from the frame to prevent obstruction.
180-Degree Opening: Enables full access and flush door storage.
Perfect For: French doors, timber double doors, and high-footfall areas.
Durable Polished Brass: Complements classic and heritage décor schemes.
Multiple Hinge Types: Choose parliament for decorative cut-out style, projection for heavier door support.

While parliament hinges feature a recognisable stepped leaf shape and are commonly used on interior timber doors with deep mouldings, projection hinges are more robust and better suited for external timber doors or high-traffic entranceways where additional weight-bearing strength is required.

Three hinges per door are recommended to provide stability and strength over time. Need advice on sizing or fitting? Get in touch with our team - we're here to help.
