PVD stands for “Physical Vapor Deposition”, a coating technique used to deposit a thin film (a few microns thick) on the surface of bathroom products such as tapware, showers and accessories, to provide superior durability and resistance to abrasions, scratches and corrosion.
It is a vacuum deposition ionic energy process that provides a uniform deposit, strong adhesion and avoids the large edge build-ups that are common with electroplated coatings. This technique is environmentally friendly, as the process does not create any of the hazardous waste or toxic fumes.
Caroma PVD creates brilliant decorative metallic finishes that are durable with excellent wear. Its fine, even application is not only strong but also allows the beauty of the machined finish to shine through. It is an extremely durable and a tough wearing coating that will stay on the product and last for longer.
Due to the complexities involved in this process and the natural variations in the base materials, subtle variations in finishes are expected. Additional factors such as brush direction, installation position and even ambient lighting can also affect the visible appearance of the finished product.
