Architects and designers are increasingly choosing PVD coated restroom products, like faucets, soap dispensers, and other restroom accessories, for their durability and design appeal.

Known for its premium appearance, this special finish not only elevates aesthetic appeal but also delivers long-term durability and sustainability.

Despite being an ultra-thin layer, PVD coated restroom products are exceptionally resilient against corrosion and harsh chemicals, making them ideal for high-traffic and modern commercial restrooms.

Four available PVD colors

PVD colors available

We offer two PVD finish options, each available in four beautiful colors:

  • PVD black finish
  • PVD brass
  • PVD bronze
  • PVD copper

The PVD coating stainless steel process is a vacuum-based method that deposits a thin, durable metallic layer onto stainless steel faucets and soap dispensers, enhancing their appearance, hardness, and resistance to wear without compromising the integrity of the base material.

Which restroom supplies can be PVD coated?

Please note that not all restroom products within each range are compatible with PVD coating.

PVD Restroom Project

The Exchange House Restroom Project in London aimed to create a modern washroom design that complemented the building’s contemporary architecture.

PVD finishes and exposed steel framework were carefully chosen to ensure a cohesive visual aesthetic, while practical factors, especially ease of maintenance and long-term efficiency, remained central to the design process.
