PVD
PVD finishes are extremely solid and durable over time.
What is a PVD Finish?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is an innovative coating process that creates a very high level of surface hardness, as well as unparalleled resistance to atmospheric agents and house detergents. PVD finishes are extremely solid and durable over time. GRAFF’s PVD finishes are Polished Brass PVD (PB), Brushed Brass PVD (BB), Onyx PVD® (OX), Brushed Onyx PVD® (BOX), OR’osa PVD® (RG), and Brushed OR’osa PVD® (BRG).
How is a PVD Finish Made?
A PVD finish is made by vaporizing a precious metal in a specialized vacuum chamber, transforming it into a coating that is deposited and bonded to the surface of the product.
PVD Finish Care
The best way to keep these surfaces in their original condition is to wipe them dry with a soft cloth after each use. Scale deposits should be dissolved with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar, rinsed with clean water, and blotted dry with a soft cloth. Do not soak the product in the solution. As vinegar is a mild acid, prolonged contact with the finished surfaces could damage the finish coating.
Never use coarse cloths or cleaning agents containing bleach, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and/or phosphoric acid, or caustic agents.
