100% True Canadian Steel, 16 Gauge Commercial Grade, not cheap recycled import steel like our competitors.
A PVD kitchen sink uses Physical Vapor Deposition, a nanotechnology process that applies a thin, durable, and decorative layer of metal or ceramic to a stainless steel surface. This PVD coating provides the sink with unique colors, improved physical properties like increased hardness and scratch resistance, and better corrosion resistance, all while being an eco-friendly process.
What PVD does for a sink:
Aesthetics: PVD finishes create eye-catching and sophisticated colors, such as gunmetal, gold, and copper, offering a signature look for a kitchen.
Durability: The coating significantly boosts surface hardness, making the sink more resistant to scratches, abrasions, and general wear and tear.
Corrosion Resistance: PVD finishes offer excellent resistance to corrosion, salts, acids, and harsh detergents commonly found in kitchens.
Easy to Clean: The smooth, non-porous surface is easier to clean and maintain, and resists fingerprints and smudges.
Environmental Benefits: The process is eco-friendly because it does not release harmful by-products into the environment.
How the PVD process works:
Evaporation: In a vacuum chamber, materials like chromium, titanium, or vanadium are heated until they vaporize into gas.
Ionization: Some of the vaporized atoms become ionized.
Deposition: The ionized vapor is accelerated toward the sink's surface by an electric field, depositing as a thin, high-performance layer that bonds with the stainless steel.
Benefits of PVD sinks:
Increased Strength: The coating reinforces the stainless steel, making it more durable.
Longevity: Enhanced durability and resistance mean the sink lasts longer.
Design Flexibility: PVD allows for new design possibilities, enabling sinks to coordinate with other elements for a cohesive look.
