Descriptions of the fi nishes
Villeroy & Boch products are designed to retain their special aesthetic quality and reliability over many years. This is why we attach great importance to maintaining
a high standard of quality throughout the production process. This starts with selecting the right raw materials. Then the pieces are formed and polished. After
numerous further stages and strict quality controls, the fi ttings are given their exquisite fi nishes in the electroplating shop. They then undergo a further check
and are carefully packed, so that our exclusive, hand-made products can be safely transported.
The list below contains technical information about our most popular finishes.
