PVD plating, short for Physical Vapour Deposition, is a modern surface finishing technique that enhances both the appearance and durability of metal components. It’s become the preferred finishing solution for architects, designers, and manufacturers seeking a high-performance alternative to traditional coatings.
At Atomic PVD, we specialise in custom PVD plating for architectural hardware, interiors, and decorative applications.
How PVD Plating Works
The PVD process takes place in a vacuum chamber where a solid metal source is vaporised and deposited onto a substrate, typically stainless steel. This results in a thin, extremely hard coating that bonds at a molecular level.
Unlike conventional electroplating, PVD uses no harmful chemicals and offers superior durability, finish quality, and environmental performance.
Benefits of PVD Plating
PVD plating is valued for its performance and design versatility. Key advantages include:
-
Long-lasting colour and surface protection
-
High resistance to tarnishing, corrosion, and wear
-
Eco-friendly process with minimal environmental impact
-
Wide selection of finishes including gold, bronze, brass, black, and rose tones
