How much does PVD coating cost per square foot in Pakistan?
PVD coating cost in Pakistan typically ranges from PKR 350 to PKR 1,800 per square foot depending on the substrate (SS 304 vs brass vs MS), surface preparation (mill finish vs hairline No.4 vs mirror No.8), geometry (flat sheet cladding vs complex laser-cut jaali screens), and batch size. Flat sheets run PKR 950–1,800/sq ft, while high-volume profile batches can be as low as PKR 350–750/sq ft. Contact Fusion for exact computerized chamber cycle estimates.
What is the cost of gold PVD coating on stainless steel furniture in Lahore?
For stainless steel furniture in Lahore, gold PVD coating costs approximately PKR 1,200–2,400 per banquet/wedding chair frame, PKR 2,500–6,500 per coffee/center table base, and PKR 4,500–12,000 per 8-seater dining table base. Ordering complete manufactured SS 304 furniture with PVD titanium finish directly from Fusion is significantly cheaper than outsourcing fabrication and coating separately.
Why is PVD titanium coating cheaper long-term than traditional electroplating?
Traditional gold electroplating uses liquid chemical baths and consumable gold salts, making the rate volatile and tied directly to international gold bullion prices. Furthermore, electroplated gold wears off in 6–12 months under commercial friction. PVD vacuum plasma utilizes solid titanium targets deposited at atomic levels, coating hundreds of items per chamber cycle with 10x higher scratch resistance (2,500 HV) and a 10-year indoor lifespan, yielding over 300% commercial ROI.
Do you charge separately for surface preparation and buffing?
PVD coating is transparent to surface texture — it replicates the base metal with 100% fidelity. If your stainless steel parts arrive pre-buffed to pristine No.8 mirror or uniform No.4 hairline, no preparation charge applies. If parts require weld dressing, slag removal, scratch blending, or automated mirror buffing, a nominal preparation fee of PKR 180–450 per square foot is quoted as a separate line item.
Are there minimum order quantities or chamber charges?
Fusion operates large-capacity vacuum chambers (up to 4.2m length). A single chamber cycle consumes the same electrical power and target plasma whether full or half-empty. For custom one-off prototypes, a minimum chamber charge applies. For commercial volumes (banquet marquees, hotel fit-outs, residential developments), chamber costs are amortized, delivering the lowest unit rates in Pakistan.
Where is the Fusion PVD coating plant located and do you deliver nationwide?
Fusion's primary vacuum PVD plant is located at 15 Lakhowal Road, Ring Road Bahria Town Interchange, Lahore, with our heavy fabrication facility on Raiwind Road. We provide secure crated logistics and insured delivery across Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Sialkot, Peshawar, and all major cities in Pakistan.
