PVD is the go-to for people wanting hard-wearing products that will stand the test of time.

What is PVD?
PVD (physical vapour deposition) involves depositing the vapour of metals such titanium, zirconium and chrome as a thin coating on the surface of the tap or accessory. Once condensed, the vapour is molecularly bonded to the surface.
PVD is an environmentally responsible process with little to no chemical or water waste.
It’s an alternative to powder coating, electroplated and painted tapware and accessory finishes.
The main benefit of PVD is that it provides a long-lasting finish. It’s resistant to scratching, corrosion, cleaning chemicals and discolouration, making PVD tapware the popular choice for residential homes, hotels and commercial buildings.
