SB 316 Waterfall Spout Surface-Mounted PVD Copper 1208955336
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition and this results in a coating that is much stronger than galvanised chrome, for example, and yet shines just as beautifully. Another not insignificant advantage of PVD coatings is that they are relatively environmentally friendly. To apply the coating, a liquid metal is vaporised in a vacuum environment. This means that the process requires less high temperatures. The vaporised metal is then applied to the product in one or more layers. These layers are wafer-thin so that the design of the product is not affected by the top layer.
PVD coatings are not only applied to taps, but to all kinds of metal objects that are used intensively and still require a beautiful colour. Think, for example, of cutlery, door fittings and even watches.
Advantages of PVD:
Disadvantages of PVD:
A stainless steel faucet or sink requires almost the same maintenance as a chrome faucet. A stainless steel faucet is made of 100% solid stainless steel metal, so no coating layer or chrome layer has been applied, so that a stainless steel faucet has a very long life. Moreover, a stainless steel faucet is very hygienic due to the stainless steel material.
We have the following cleaning tips for a stainless steel faucet or stainless steel sink:
Tip 1:
Make sure your bathroom is cleaned weekly and of course also the stainless steel taps. Use a special stainless steel cleaning agent or stainless steel cleaning spray. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as chlorine, acetic acid, anti-limescale, etc.
Use a microfiber cloth to clean the stainless steel taps. Rinse the stainless steel taps well after cleaning so that no cleaning agent remains.
Tip 2:
After showering, we recommend the To dry off stainless steel shower head or stainless steel shower set so that no limescale can form.
Tip 3:
Still last of limescale on your stainless steel faucet? Use a microfiber cloth and special stainless steel cleaner based on citric acid. So do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as JIF, chlorine or other aggressive acids. We also advise against the use of scouring pads or abrasives. The use of these can cause scratches on the stainless steel faucets.
Of course, the above cleaning advice also applies to stainless steel kitchen faucets, stainless steel sink faucets, stainless steel shower faucets and stainless steel bath faucets.
