PVD Fixtures

PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition. In this process, a solid metal source is vaporized inside a sealed vacuum chamber. The vaporized metal then settles onto the surface of the fixture as an ultra-thin layer. This layer bonds at a molecular level with the base metal. That bond makes the finish far harder and more durable than paint, lacquer, or electroplating. The entire process happens under controlled temperature and pressure. This ensures the coating is uniform across every surface. PVD coating fixtures produced this way resist scratches, corrosion, and colour fading for years. No polishing or recoating needed. The technology was first used in aerospace and medical devices. Today it is the preferred standard for premium interior hardware. Each cycle produces different metallic tones based on the reactive gases used.

Indian bathrooms deal with a lot. High humidity. Hot water steam. Daily contact with soaps and cleaning chemicals. PVD coated bathroom fixtures are engineered for these exact conditions. The vacuum-deposited layer creates a non-porous surface. Moisture does not get absorbed. Common chemicals do not cause reactions or discolouration. Chrome-plated fixtures often develop water spots and pitting over time. PVD surfaces do not. They keep their original sheen with very little effort. The coating also resists mould and bacteria because there are no tiny surface cracks for them to settle into. It works equally well in coastal cities like Mumbai and humid zones like Kolkata. Soap scum and hard water stains wipe off easily. Routine cleaning takes less effort compared to traditional finishes.

We offer gold, rose gold, champagne, bronze, black titanium, satin silver, gunmetal grey, and antique brass. Each colour comes from varying the reactive gas mix during the coating process. No paint or dye is involved at any stage. The colour is embedded in the coating itself. That means it will not peel, chip, or fade over time. Light exposure and moisture make no difference. We also offer matte, brushed, and polished mirror textures. If your project needs a shade outside our standard range, our custom PVD service can develop it. We create test samples matched to your design reference before production begins. Every finish is available across our bathroom, furniture, cabinet, and decorative fixture range. This allows full visual coordination across rooms.

Chrome plating uses an electrochemical bath to deposit a thin chromium layer. It gives a mirror finish but tends to peel, pit, and tarnish in humid spaces. Powder coating sprays on a dry polymer and bakes it. It holds up reasonably well but the layer is thick. Fine details get hidden. Colour depth is also limited. PVD works differently. It bonds at the molecular level inside a vacuum chamber. The resulting layer is up to four times harder than chrome. It is thinner than powder coat. And it resists corrosion, UV light, and chemical contact. PVD skips toxic chemicals entirely. No hazardous waste is produced. For Indian homes with humid bathrooms and heavy kitchen use, PVD outperforms both chrome and powder coat in finish retention and lifespan.

They absolutely are. PVD fixtures for furniture handle continuous contact, weight loads, and everyday friction without losing their finish. Table legs, chair frames, shelf brackets, and wardrobe handles all hold up well over years of regular use. The coating hardness sits between 1500 and 3000 HV on the Vickers scale. That makes it significantly more scratch-resistant than any conventional finish on the market. Hotels, restaurants, and retail showrooms choose PVD for exactly this reason. Their furniture faces heavy traffic all day long. PVD keeps performing without showing wear. For homes, the benefit is the same. Your hardware looks new years after installation. No polishing needed. No refinishing required. Over time it saves both money and effort on upkeep compared to standard coatings.

The most common base metals for pvd coating fixtures are stainless steel (grades 304 and 316), brass, and aluminium. Stainless steel works best for bathroom and furniture fixtures. It is strong and naturally resistant to corrosion even before the coating is applied. Brass suits traditional or heritage-style designs. Its warm tone adds depth to the final PVD colour. Aluminium is lighter and works well for decorative elements and partition trims. In our factory, every base metal goes through multi-stage polishing first. Then it is cleaned using ultrasonic baths to remove all surface impurities. Only after this preparation does the metal enter the PVD chamber. This careful groundwork ensures the coating sticks uniformly and gives us the exact sheen and colour depth expected across the full batch.

Everything is made in-house at our Hyderabad factory. Metal fabrication, CNC cutting, welding, polishing, and PVD coating all happen under one roof. Many pvd fixture suppliers outsource coating to separate facilities. We do not. Keeping every step internal removes delays and rework. It eliminates colour mismatches between batches. And it closes the quality gaps that show up when multiple vendors are involved. Our factory has dedicated PVD chambers, industrial polishing stations, a testing lab, and a packaging unit. You deal directly with the manufacturer. No middlemen. No hidden markups. Turnaround is faster. Quality control is tighter. Pricing is fully transparent. This direct setup is what makes our fixtures consistently better than traded alternatives you will find elsewhere in the market.

A well-made PVD fixture lasts fifteen to twenty-five years without visible wear. Some last even longer with proper care. Industry salt spray tests show PVD coatings can endure over a thousand hours of continuous salt exposure. Chrome and powder coat cannot come close to that number. In daily life, this means your bathroom faucets, cabinet handles, and furniture hardware keep their colour and surface finish for years. Daily contact, moisture, and cleaning agents do not degrade them. How long they last depends on two things. Base metal preparation and coating quality. We control both entirely in our own production facility. That is also why we offer a solid warranty covering finish defects under normal use at home or in commercial spaces.

PVD fixtures cost roughly twenty to forty percent more than chrome-plated equivalents. The exact price depends on the base metal, design complexity, and chosen finish. The upfront cost is higher. But the long-term value is much better. PVD fixtures do not need recoating, polishing, or replacement for over a decade. That saves money over time. A standard bathroom set with a basin mixer, shower system, towel bar, and accessories in PVD finish starts in the mid-range bracket. Prices scale with customization. Bulk orders for hotels or commercial projects get volume-based pricing. Per-unit costs drop noticeably with larger quantities. We provide detailed quotes. Every line item is broken down. Fabrication, coating, hardware, and delivery are listed separately so you know where every rupee goes.

Yes. PVD handles outdoor conditions well. The coating resists UV radiation, rain, humidity, and temperature swings. It works on balconies, covered patios, poolside areas, and building facades. The molecular bond between the coating and the base metal prevents peeling or bubbling. Even years of direct sun exposure will not damage it. For coastal or industrial areas where salt air speeds up corrosion, PVD is one of the most dependable options out there. We suggest using stainless steel grade 316 as the base metal for fully exposed outdoor fixtures. It offers the strongest corrosion resistance underneath the PVD layer. Our team can recommend the right metal and finish combination for your environment. Beachfront, hillside, or urban rooftop. We have done them all.

No strict minimum. We handle everything from a single residential set to commercial batches of several hundred pieces. For standard finishes like gold, rose gold, black titanium, and satin silver, we can fill any order size without setup delays. These recipes stay calibrated in our chambers at all times. Custom colour projects may need a small sample batch first. That ensures the tone is right before full production starts. Bulk orders benefit from better per-unit pricing and shorter lead times. Whether you need ten cabinet handles for a kitchen renovation or five hundred pieces for a hotel chain, our production line adjusts to your scale. We also support phased deliveries for ongoing construction projects. You get fixtures as and when each phase is ready.

Cleaning is simple. Use a soft damp microfibre cloth. Wipe the surface to remove dust, water spots, or fingerprints. For tougher marks, mild soap and water do the job. That is really all it takes. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and scouring pads. These can micro-scratch any metal surface over time. Stay away from bleach and ammonia-based products too. The big advantage of PVD is that it needs no polishing compounds, wax, or periodic recoating. Traditional finishes demand all of that. PVD does not. The hard, non-porous surface resists buildup naturally. Stains do not set in. A quick weekly wipe keeps PVD coated bathroom fixtures, cabinet hardware, and furniture accents looking sharp. That low maintenance is a major reason people switch to PVD.

We deliver everywhere in India. Every fixture is individually wrapped and placed in foam-lined boxes. Surface damage during transit is not something we leave to chance. Large orders get custom crating for extra protection. Our installation team works out of Hyderabad and covers key metro cities. They handle fitting, alignment, and a final quality check at your location. For other cities, we provide detailed installation guides and video walkthroughs. Your local contractor can follow these step by step. We also offer remote support over call if needed. Holzbox coordinates each delivery to arrive on schedule and in perfect shape. It does not matter if the destination is a city apartment, a commercial showroom, or a hillside resort. The process stays the same.

In most cases, yes. The base metal needs to be structurally sound and free from deep corrosion. If it meets that bar, we can strip the old finish, re-polish the surface, and apply a fresh PVD layer. The process starts with removing the existing coating through careful surface preparation. Then the metal is restored to a smooth, clean state. After that, it goes through the full PVD coating cycle in our chambers. Results depend on the condition and thickness of the original metal. Heavily corroded or very thin pieces may not hold a new coat well. We recommend sending the fixture to our factory for evaluation first. Our team checks it and gives an honest call. If re-coating will not meet our quality bar, we will tell you upfront.

Every PVD fixture we produce comes with a comprehensive warranty. It covers both the coating finish and the structural integrity of the base hardware. Specifically, we cover colour fading, peeling, flaking, and corrosion that occurs under normal use at home or in commercial spaces. Warranty terms vary by product category. All details are documented clearly in your quotation and invoice before you approve the order. No surprises later. Our confidence in this warranty comes from controlling the entire process ourselves. Metal selection, fabrication, PVD coating, and final testing all happen in our own factory. If a warranted issue shows up during the coverage period, we replace the affected fixture. No extra charge. We cover return shipping and replacement delivery as well.
