What is the difference between pvd shower hose and pvc shower hose?

PVD shower hose and PVC shower hose represent two products with different materials and manufacturing processes. Each has unique characteristics, and there are a series of significant differences from appearance to performance.

PVD shower hose is made of metal as the basic material and processed by exquisite PVD technology. This technology creates a hard and wear-resistant coating on the metal surface, improving the overall durability of the hose. Not only that, PVD treatment also gives the hose a colorful and noble appearance. With rich color choices, users can create a unique shower space according to personal preferences and decorative needs. In addition, PVD technology gives metal shower hoses excellent corrosion resistance, making them perform well in humid environments and are less susceptible to oxidation and corrosion. In terms of environmental protection, PVD technology is a relatively environmentally friendly surface treatment method that does not require the use of environmentally harmful chemicals.

Relatively speaking, PVC shower hose is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic as the main raw material, which is a lightweight and soft material. The appearance of PVC hoses is usually simpler, showing transparent or single color, and is lighter than PVD hoses. It is relatively low-cost to manufacture, making it economical while also providing users with a simple and practical shower option. However, PVC hoses may be slightly lacking in abrasion resistance and durability, especially after long-term use, which may cause wear and aging.

In terms of weight, PVD hoses are relatively heavy due to the heavy nature of metal, while PVC hoses are lightweight and portable. In terms of hardness, PVD hoses are harder, while PVC hoses are relatively soft and easier to bend and install. This also makes PVD hoses more suitable for scenes that focus on appearance and decoration, while PVC hoses are more suitable for environments that emphasize lightness and affordability.
