FINISH SHOWCASE: PVD

At ASH Door Furniture, we offer a refined selection of PVD finishes, available in black, brass, copper, and gold, with the option of either a satin or mirror-polished surface. This advanced coating technology not only enhances the beauty of metal hardware but also ensures exceptional durability and longevity.

PVD, or Physical Vapour Deposition, creates an incredibly hard surface layer that is significantly more resistant to scratches and wear than traditional plating methods. The coating is up to three to four times harder than electroplated chrome, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas where longevity is a priority. Beyond its strength, PVD ensures exceptional colour consistency. Unlike conventional finishes that may fade or develop uneven wear over time, PVD coatings retain their rich tones even with prolonged use and exposure to UV light. The result is a surface that maintains its depth and vibrancy, whether in brass, bronze, copper, or sleek black.

Another key advantage of PVD is its superior resistance to corrosion. The coating forms a protective barrier that shields the metal beneath from moisture, oxidation, and environmental factors, making it a reliable choice for both interior and exterior applications. This is particularly beneficial in coastal areas, where salt air can quickly degrade traditional finishes. In addition to its impressive durability, PVD is also an environmentally responsible choice. Unlike electroplating, which relies on harmful chemicals and produces toxic waste, PVD is a clean process that meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) environmental standards, offering a sustainable solution without compromising on performance.

Maintenance is effortless, as PVD-coated surfaces resist most household and commercial cleaning products, allowing for easy upkeep without the risk of damaging the finish. While the initial investment may be higher than some standard plating methods, the long-term benefits of PVD make it a cost-effective solution. Its resistance to wear means it rarely needs refinishing or replacement, ensuring a finish that remains pristine for years to come.

At ASH Door Furniture, our PVD finishes combine cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance, offering a perfect balance of durability, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility. Whether chosen for its strength, colour stability, or luxurious appearance, PVD represents the pinnacle of modern surface finishing.
