With a wealth of finishes to choose from including Champagne Bronze, Brushed Nickel, and Matte Black, ZLINE faucets, shower systems, and bathroom accessories are designed to make an aesthetic statement while providing unparalleled functionality.

Bathrooms and kitchens are high-moisture environments that can be tough on fixtures and lead to corrosion which can diminish the appearance of even the most vibrant finish options. To ensure ZLINE plumbing fixtures look as good as new in intense humid environments, ZLINE finishes feature PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, which is renowned for its exceptional durability.

What is PVD? The PVD Process

The Physical Vapor Deposition process involves creating a molecular bond between the finish material and the surface of the fixture through evaporation and condensation inside a vacuum. The result is a thin, yet incredibly durable finish that ensures ZLINE faucets and shower systems are nearly impervious to scratching and will maintain their pristine appearance for years, even with constant use.

Steps Involved in the PVD Process:

Preparation: The fixture is thoroughly cleaned to remove any impurities.
Vaporization: The coating material is vaporized in a vacuum chamber.
Deposition: The vaporized material condenses onto the fixture, forming a thin, uniform layer.
Cooling: The coated fixture is cooled and inspected for quality.

Benefits of PVD Finishes

Here at ZLINE, we opt to use PVD because the durability and aesthetics of our fixtures are paramount to our design process. PVD coatings provide a consistent and uniform finish, which allows us to offer a wide range of color options and finishes that look great in kitchens of all styles, from modern Scandinavian to rustic Tuscan.

PVD-coated fixtures are easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal effort and fewer resources to keep them looking new. Plus, by using less energy and producing fewer emissions than traditional coating methods, PVD-coated fixtures align with our sustainability goals, making them a great choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
