PVD

Vibrant shades that last. A superior surface that withstands scratches and abrasion. Ideal Standard’s range of coloured fittings uses Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) technology to apply fine layers of metal, atom by atom. This allows us to control the composition, hardness and durability of the surface compounds that coat our expertly engineered products. Independent testing demonstrates that PVD-finished taps from Ideal Standard are so durable, they are still free from scratches and abrasion marks after 10,000 use cycles 1 . And, because we offer these shades consistently across taps, showering products and accessories, there’s no compromising your design vision.

Engineered for lasting colour.
