Fantini Stories, PVD Finishing.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is one of the most durable finishes in the industry. The chemical process was founded in the aerospace industry — originally used for metal tools in the 1970s — and has spread throughout many industries since its discovery.

Due to the chemical’s hardness, resistance, and durability, these faucets are hypoallergenic and resistant to corrosion, chemical products and UV light. When compared to other chemical processes, PVD also has a reduced environmental impact.
