Why PVD Plating is the Future of Durable, Designer Finishes

Jun 25, 2025 · PVD · PVD Plating

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) plating is a high-tech finishing process that applies a decorative and functional coating to stainless steel and other substrates. Unlike traditional electroplating, PVD bonds the coating at a molecular level, making it exceptionally durable and corrosion-resistant.


Key Benefits of PVD Plating

  • Superior Durability: PVD finishes are harder and more resistant to scratches, wear, and tarnishing.

  • Environmentally Safer: No harsh chemicals or toxic byproducts, PVD is a cleaner, greener alternative to electroplating.

  • Wide Colour Range: From timeless gold and gunmetal to rich bronze and custom tones, PVD offers design freedom.

  • Low Maintenance: Surfaces stay cleaner longer and require less upkeep, even in high-traffic environments.

  • Architectural Grade: Trusted by architects for façades, interiors, fixtures, and hardware exposed to the elements.
