The bathroom is a place of retreat, relaxation and renewal. In hotels, representative public buildings and in the elective services area in hospitals, design and functionality must form a harmonious symbiosis in order to create an atmosphere that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

The advantages of PVD coatings

PVD coatings offer numerous advantages that make them particularly suitable for use in public sanitary rooms:

Resistance and durability:

The extremely hard and abrasion-resistant layer protects the underlying materials from scratches, wear and corrosion. In the humid environment of a bathroom, this property is invaluable for significantly extending the life of the products.

Hygienic surfaces:

Thanks to the smooth and dense structure of the PVD coating, dirt and bacteria have virtually no chance of settling. This makes cleaning much easier and contributes to a more hygienic environment.

Aesthetic diversity:

PVD coatings are available in a wide range of colours and surface textures. Whether glossy or brushed - HEWI offers a wide range of designs that make it possible to set individual accents and give every sanitary room a personal touch.

Areas of application and possibilities of PVD

PVD technology opens up a wide application range and offers numerous design options, which are particularly advantageous in public sanitary rooms.
