Premium PVD Coatings: Fresh trends for modern bathrooms

The bathroom serves as a sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation, and retreat. In hotels, prestigious public buildings, and the premium services sector of hospitals, it’s essential that design and functionality blend seamlessly to craft an environment that is both visually appealing and highly practical. We would like to show you how the PVD coating can be used to create products with timeless elegance and remarkable durability. Additionally, you’ll discover how PVD finishes allow for a high degree of customization in public restrooms and private bathrooms alike.

PVD coatings offer numerous advantages

These make them particularly suitable for use in public sanitary rooms:

Resistance and durability

The exceptionally hard, abrasion-resistant layer of PVD coating shields the underlying materials from scratches, wear, and corrosion. In the humid conditions of a bathroom, this durability is crucial for greatly extending the lifespan of the products.

Hygienic surfaces

The smooth and compact structure of PVD coatings prevents dirt and bacteria from adhering to surfaces, significantly reducing the likelihood of buildup. This not only simplifies cleaning but also contributes to a more hygienic environment.

Aesthetic diversity

PVD coatings come in a diverse array of colors and surface finishes, from glossy to brushed textures. HEWI provides a broad selection of designs, allowing for unique accents that add a personalized touch to any sanitary space.

Applications and possibilities of PVD 

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology offers a broad spectrum of applications and design possibilities, making it especially beneficial for use in public sanitary facilities. Thanks to its corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant properties, PVD coatings are ideal for high-traffic environments. These coatings excel in humid conditions, ensuring durability and a long-lasting finish.

Beyond this, PVD technology finds applications across various industries:

  • Automotive Industry: PVD coatings are applied to engine components and body parts, providing excellent durability and resistance to wear.
  • Aerospace: Due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and lightweight nature, PVD coatings are employed in aerospace to improve the performance and efficiency of aircraft and spacecraft.
  • Medical and Surgical Fields: In medical technology, PVD coatings deliver clean, durable surfaces on surgical instruments, meeting stringent hygiene standards.
  • Electronics: Within the electronics sector, PVD coatings serve as protective barriers and enhance conductivity, thereby extending the lifespan and reliability of electronic components.
