PBT® by Tres: Finishes that last, colors that impress

An exclusive treatment that elevates the faucet beyond its practical function

In the field of interior design, every element contributes to defining the character of the space. Under this premise, TRES has developed the PBT® technology (Protection Brushed Technology), an exclusive treatment that elevates faucets beyond their practical function. It's a process that combines beauty, durability, and sustainability, transforming each piece into a focal point in its surroundings.

Resistance that exceeds standards.

The PBT® treatment developed by Tres consists of a four-layer coating that guarantees a durable, resistant, and aesthetically impeccable finish. Two layers of anti-corrosion nickel, a high-adhesion sealant, and a top layer of thermosetting resin are applied to the main body, made of low-lead brass. This process quadruples the corrosion resistance required by standard EN-248 and doubles the lifespan of conventional chrome plating. Its uniform adhesion prevents wear or peeling of the finish, and the color remains vibrant and unchanged, unaltered by use or exposure.

Soulful tones that stimulate the senses.

PBT® not only represents a technical advancement, but also an evolution in the visual language of design. The palette of finishes conceived by Tres seeks to evoke emotions and adapt to different atmospheres. Deep, matte tones provide sophistication, while warm nuances generate a cozy and unique feeling. The silky texture and interaction with light give each piece a shifting quality, making color a narrative resource within the space.

The four finishes offered are:

-Bronze Black: Understated, intense, and elegant. A black with subtle bronze hues that change with the light. Its matte finish provides versatility, blending stylishly into rustic or modern interiors.

-Volcanic: A warm shade with copper undertones that adds personality and exclusivity. Perfect for interiors seeking a cozy and unique aesthetic.

-Gold Cava: Light and luxury in harmony. This matte gold finish conveys distinction without ostentation, ideal for refined environments with touches of subtle shine.

-Graphite: Modernity and balance. The graphite finish combines the neutrality of gray with a silky texture, adapting to minimalist and elegant styles.

Commitment to a more conscious design.

The development of PBT® demonstrates a vision that balances innovation and responsibility. By not using polluting components and opting for cleaner processes, Tres sets a new standard in faucet finishes. The PBT® process is free of hexavalent chromium (CrVI), offering a cleaner, safer, and more environmentally friendly alternative. This process not only guarantees impeccable and long-lasting aesthetics but also responds to the growing demand for sustainable solutions in contemporary architecture and interior design.
