The Alban and Chime towel radiators from Acova's Signature Collection will adopt new PVD finishes in brushed brass, brushed black, and brushed bronze by the end of 2026. This evolution responds to the growing popularity of metallic finishes in bathrooms and allows for a more harmonious look with the faucets and sanitary fixtures.
Metallic finishes are gaining popularity in the bathroom.
Already widely present on taps, shower columns and sanitary accessories, metallic finishes in warm hues are gradually becoming essential in bathroom design projects.
With the introduction of brushed brass , brushed black , and brushed bronze finishes on its Alban and Chime towel radiators, Acova continues its pursuit of aesthetic consistency. The aim is to allow both homeowners and specifiers to create a harmonious ensemble among the various fixtures in a room.
Two models with a design conceived for everyday use
The Alban and Chime models retain the minimalist lines that characterize Acova's Signature Collection.
Their asymmetrical design, available in right or left version, facilitates the placement and removal of towels while preserving a lighter visual flow in the bathroom.
The two models are distinguished by their design. Chime combines square section collectors with round tubes, while Alban exclusively adopts straight profiles, both for horizontal tubes and for vertical collectors.
The PVD process provides durable protection
These new finishes are based on the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process , a vacuum deposition technique carried out without solvents which consists of applying a thin metallic layer to the surface of the radiator.
According to Acova, this treatment provides a deep, glossy finish while enhancing the coating's resistance to corrosion, scratches, and impacts. These characteristics can meet the demands of a room exposed to humidity and daily wear and tear.
Versions adapted to different installations
The new PVD finishes will be offered by the end of 2026 on the Alban and Chime towel radiators in electric and central heating versions , with two models available in each configuration.
By complementing its Signature Collection with these new coverings, Acova supports an evolution in bathroom projects where heating equipment now fully participates in the decorative composition, just like faucets or accessories.
