Samples of Hamilton’s new bronze effect finishes will be showcased at the show. It includes Richmond, a sophisticated deep, even bronze; Antique, which has a lightly grained texture; and Connaught, which emulates a natural weathered effect. All of these are designed to reflect the growing trend for bronze accessories in luxury properties.

Also new for this year’s show will be an extension to Hamilton’s Eurofix range, which is designed to offer complete flexibility for British and European overseas projects where a range of international appliances may be used, such as hotels. Eurofix plates contain European style apertures into which the various inserts can be clipped, and fitted in the usual way into British Standard wall boxes.

New inserts for 2013 include universal, USA (NEMA) and European (schuko) sockets, and a USB charging point, which join the existing range of AV, data, TV, satellite and hotel card switch inserts. The Eurofix range is available across most of Hamilton’s stylish plate designs, making it suitable for all types of interior from contemporary to traditional.

The Interiors UK 2013 will be held at NEC Birmingham from 20-23 January.
