Technology Is Defining Every Aspect of Faucet

As simple as it sounds, we often overlook the role played by a simple faucet in our overall experience while using the Kitchen or Bathrooms. An undeniable element which we use several times a day, naturally demands more attention today. Having penetrated almost all spheres of our daily lives, new age technology in faucet design & performance has made it an important feature of our homes today not just as a functional item but something that demands style and sophistication. Surfaces Reporter looks into some of the advancements made in Faucet design and performance with the aid of various technological advancements. While interacting with users and specifiers, we received both warm and cold responses regarding ‘Technology in Faucet’ that was a reason enough for us to find out its role, people’s expectations and the reasons for some people to refrain from technology.

While style is a matter of personal choice and generally do not conform to a fixed set of rules, looking at certain aspects can make you select the right faucet amidst hordes of styles and sizes available today. For example, matte finished faucets featuring Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), the latest technology for bonding a finish to the standard brass faucet do not have the issue of annoying water spots. With PVD, the finish becomes an integral part of  the faucet itself, resisting tarnish, scratches and corrosion and keeping the faucet looking good longer. “PVD finish is available in many colour tints. We at Hindware, use fully advanced automatic plating lines which ensure very high level of corrosion protection and complete coverage of the most complex geometries with excellent film uniformity and control”, added Sandip Somany, Joint Managing Director, HSIL Ltd.
