Polished brass finish and PVD brass explained
This pulley uses a polished brass finish to deliver a bright, traditional look that suits classic timber sash windows. If you need extra protection in busy homes or commercial settings, you may also see similar hardware offered as PVD brass. We supply both, sash pulley Polished brass and sash pulley PVD brass.
PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) adds a thin, hard-wearing coating over a brass or brass-finished surface. Because the coating increases scratch resistance and helps slow tarnishing, PVD brass typically stays looking cleaner for longer with less polishing. As a result, installers often choose PVD brass where fittings receive frequent handling or where customers want a lower-maintenance “polished brass” appearance.
In short, polished brass gives the classic warm shine, while PVD brass focuses on durability and reduced upkeep. If you are matching existing traditional fittings, polished brass works well. However, if you want a similar look with added surface protection, consider choosing PVD brass across the rest of your window furniture for a consistent finish.
