Door Hardware Finishes Melbourne from Bellevue

BioChrome® The Worlds First Environmental Door Handle Finish

Bellevue are proud to introduce a new chrome and satin chrome finish called BioChrome®, an environmentally friendly finish for door hardware. It is truly a world innovation.

A naturally occurring chrome, or environmentally friendly chrome, is called Trivalent Chrome. Trivalent Chrome does not have the damaging attributes that Hexavalent Chrome does; as a result the environment is far better off.

What is an environmentally friendly chrome finish on a door handle? Used in the manufacturing process of chrome plated products such as door handles, taps, cabinet ware or any product that has a chrome plating is a chemical called Hexavalent Chrome, this chemical is highly pollutant, highly toxic and very damaging to the environment we live in.

Prior to the enforcement of new EU (European Union) regulations that will enforce the limited use of Hexavalent Chrome. Olivari has developed an environmentally friendly process, through which chromium-plated products are obtained.

This process importantly meets both the EU use of chromium regulations (due to be introduced in late 2006), the heightened environmental awareness of public opinion and the market awareness of environmental design. Bio-Chrome® products are suitable for buildings certified for Bio-architecture and for sustainable construction.
