European regulations place strict controls on the use of hazardous substances and the environmental impact of manufacturing processes. This is particularly important in surface finishing and electroplating, where responsible processes, material selection and emissions controls play an important role in reducing environmental and workplace risks.

PVD | Physical Vapor Deposition

The Advantages of ELITE PVD TECHNOLOGY

For exceptional durability, performance and finish quality, Seven Italia applies Elite PVD Technology to selected premium handle collections.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is an advanced vacuum-coating process in which metallic materials are vaporised and deposited onto the surface of the hardware, creating an exceptionally thin, dense and highly durable protective finish.

The result is a refined surface with excellent hardness, colour stability and resistance to everyday wear, scratching, tarnishing and environmental exposure. The process also delivers exceptional depth and brilliance, creating the distinctive premium appearance of Seven Italia’s PVD finishes.

As a vacuum-based coating technology, PVD offers significant environmental advantages over many traditional wet chemical finishing processes, with reduced reliance on hazardous chemicals and substantially less wastewater associated with the coating process.

Seven Italia’s Elite PVD finishes are backed by a 10-year warranty, providing confidence in their long-term performance and durability.

As with all premium architectural hardware, appropriate care and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and performance of the finish throughout the life of the product.
