The masterly combination of high-tech and craftsmanship
Electroplating
Chrome is the standard surface in the sanitary environment and has proven itself in the bathroom over many decades. Through the electrochemical deposition of various metals, and depending on the type of substrate, a copper layer is built up in the electroplating bath, followed by a bright nickel and chrome layer on the basic brass body.

PVD
The unmistakable character of the polished and brushed AXOR FinishPlus PVD-surfaces is the result of intensive development, refined in AXOR’s in-house vacuum chambers using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. The PVD process gives the surfaces an additional metal layer. The vapor deposition of different process gas mixtures creates different light reflections on the surface. The result: exceptional color brilliance and high resistance. In order to reproduce a brushed surface, an additional work step is required in which the surface is tectured with a brushing fleece by hand.
