Understand the difference between brush texture and a PVD coating, then check physical samples for color, grain and care.
Brushing describes the visible grain, while PVD describes a coating process. A surface can have both. On a quote, list base texture, target color and any additional surface treatment as separate specifications.
Review physical samples under the same light
Compare samples under one light source and view them straight on and at an angle. Place the intended faucet, drain and worktop beside them. Record the sample reference, grain direction and matching components when signing off the finish.
Approve the care instructions with the sample
Use the instructions for the exact model and coating. Trial the recommended routine using a soft cloth and compatible cleaner, and ask the supplier how to handle deposits or oil marks. Keep an approved physical sample for volume production checks.
Send the target color and matching hardware details through the OEM customization page.
