Nickel plating can offer different aspects, satin, brushed, matt, velvet, mirror…

The nickel finish, more “yellow” than the chrome finish, has the particularity of presenting a nice silver effect.

This finish is reinforced by a second nickel bath to strengthen its resistance to lime scale.

Surface treatment with electrolytic baths is carried out in three phases:  first a preparation phase (stripping or degreasing), followed by the surface treatment itself and, finally, rinsing. For each operation there are one or more baths, chemical in the case of stripping, electrolytic in the case of finishing: the deposit is obtained in a bath containing the metal, which is electro-deposited under direct electrical current.

Semi-precious or even precious finishes, such as silver and gold, fashionable in the 1980s, are also applied after nickel plating. They are lacquered or matt, aged or brushed.

Electrolytic black nickel, tin/black nickel or black chrome deposits, which range from bright intense black to metal gun, have been around for a long time. The former are fragile, imposing a protective transparent polish deposit.

While black and white have been used a lot in shiny or enamelled bathrooms, the trend is moving towards the velvety-silky look achieved by new epoxy paints for fittings.

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a technology for covering surfaces with a metallic film. It is used in the world of watchmaking, but also in the world of tools, to reinforce the hardness and resistance of drills for example, thanks to titanium oxide.

The principle: the parts, treated individually, i.e. disassembled, are enclosed in a chamber where a complete vacuum is created.

Then, a plate of the metal is used with different gases; a metal vapour is produced, and then accelerated in order to project the molecules by kinetic energy, thanks to a very powerful electric current which ensures a strong adhesion of the coating on the support.

PVD finishes allow working on stainless steel, brass, zamak and plastic.

The principle: the parts, treated individually, that is to say disassembled, are locked in a room where a complete vacuum is created. Then, a plate of the metal is used and different gases; a metallic vapor is produced, and then accelerated in order to project the molecules by kinetic energy, thanks to a very powerful electric current which ensures a strong adhesion of the coating on the support.
