At Waterson, we provide a variety of aesthetically pleasing Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) finishes on our stainless steel closer hinges. These include Satin Brushed (US32D-630), Matte Black (USL1-631*), Dark Bronze (US10B-640), Satin Brass (PVD US15-619), and our newest finish, Satin Bronze (PVD US10-xxx). These are elegant and attractive finishes that are suitable for any high-end commercial or residential establishment and are highly regarded by architects, interior designers, and hotel owners, to name a few.
WHAT IS PVD?
PVD is a durable, real metal finish that is more tarnish-resistant than ordinary steel. This is produced through the process of Titanium Ion Plating, which improves the performance of stainless steel by increasing wear, scratch, and corrosion resistance making its durability far superior to conventional coating methods such as electroplating or powder-coating.
PVD BENEFITS
Unlike traditional steel, stainless steel is limited to the number of possible finishes. That said, stainless steel allows us to produce a glossy, metallic look that when combined with PVD, is desirable to design professionals. In addition, PVD is understood to greatly increase the performance of the surface with little environmental impact. Also, the PVD process doesn’t inhibit the stainless steel base from the possibility of being recycled, thus making it more environmentally friendly than traditional coating and plating processes.
