Brass Faucet Surface Treatment Technology
PVD brass faucet
Most people are surprised to know that when it comes to faucets with brass temps, there is a third option. If you like the idea of some patina, but want your faucets to stay shiny, then you'll want to consider a PVD finish. Although PVD looks like brass, it's actually a high-tech process that alters the molecules on the surface of the base metal.
The term PVD, short for Physical Vapor Deposition, comes from a technology developed to help cannons work better. The scientists noticed they could use this process to change the color of the metal and eventually apply it to taps.
PVD is ideal if you do not want to make any changes to the surface. The downside is that, for purists, it's not real brass, but really no one else will know. Our favorite PVD finish is a great alternative and will be a durable choice for your kitchen or bathroom.
Polished Brass Faucet
A handful of faucet manufacturers offer polished brass finishes, a durable "polished" brass is obtained by tumbling an unpainted brass faucet in a bucket of corn kernels. How this finish gives you a head start on the 'always there' look and helps hide the uneven patina that inevitably comes with use.
Antique Brass Faucet
With antique brass, the manufacturer adds a bit of patina to darken the finish slightly, then seals it to ensure it stays that way. They come in shiny and satin finishes for a softer feel. Either way, antique brass is a great option if you're busy and don't want to spend time maintaining your kitchen faucet.
