Frequently asked questions
What is antimicrobial hardware?
Antimicrobial hardware is architectural hardware engineered with finish coatings or material compositions that actively inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact surfaces — used to reduce microbial load on high-touch surfaces in commercial and institutional environments.
How do antimicrobial finishes work?
Antimicrobial finishes use either applied coatings or inherent material chemistry — copper-alloy hardware (such as solid brass) is naturally antimicrobial through the oligodynamic effect, while specialized coatings on stainless steel and other base metals release ions that inhibit microbial growth on contact.
