Introduction: The Spigot as a Design Element
The Classics: SS Matt vs. Glossy
- SS Matt (Brushed/Satin): Frame this as the “architectural standard.” It’s understated, hides minor scratches, reduces glare, and provides a clean, modern, professional vibe.
- Glossy (Mirror Finish): Frame this as “high-drama.” It reflects surrounding colors, increases the sense of luxury, and works perfectly in high-end, bright, or reflective architectural settings.
The New Standard: PVD Coating Technology
- What is PVD? Keep it brief: Physical Vapor Deposition isn’t just a “paint”—it’s a molecular-level process that bonds metal vapor to the stainless steel.
- Why Architects Choose It:
- Durability: It is significantly harder and more scratch-resistant than electroplating or powder coating.
- Color Integrity: Unlike paint, it doesn’t chip or peel, and it maintains its deep color/sheen over time.
- Sustainability: It is an eco-friendly process with no toxic chemical waste.
PVD Coating Colours
- Gold: Ranging from light gold to deep gold and matte/mirror finishes.
- Rose Gold: A top choice for luxury hardware and interior cladding.
- Black / Titanium Black: Popular for modern hardware, bathroom fittings, and architectural details.
- Bronze / Copper: Often used for antique or rustic architectural finishes.
