What are the advantages of PVD treated door furniture?
A. PVD treated door furniture can be used in areas and situations where normal lacquered brass handles would eventually tarnish. They have an extremely high resistance to salt spray which makes them ideal for use in coastal areas where non-treated brass would certainly begin to tarnish fairly quickly. PVD products have unlimited resistance to muriatic acids (acids created from brine) and anti-calcareous products (de-scaler). It should be remembered that the PVD process gives protection to the finish and not the mechanism which will usually be no different to a standard door handle. If PVD products are to be fitted in a very harsh environment then it is important to ensure that the mechanism is also well greased.
