Gold is resistant to corrosion and makes it an excellent metal for outdoor and indoor use, adding a protective layer to an otherwise exposed architectural detail. If applied by professionals like Orange County Hand-Painted Sign Artist Alex Kurakake of Smart Alex Signs and left undisturbed, the exterior 23K gold leaf gilding can last for more than 30 years.

The gold leaf used in gilding is gold that is hammered or cut into very thin sheets, thinner than standard paper and semi-transparent when held to the light. At Smart Alex Signs, we always use gold leaves that are manufactured in a wide range of karats (kt) and can be modified with silver and copper for different colors and architectural themes.

Gold is highly resistant to corrosion, which makes it an excellent metal for outdoor use just like our client, Alchemy Works Harbor House in Lido Marina Village, Newport Beach. Since their interior windows are tinted, we used 23K gold leaf to apply it on the exterior of their window for legitimacy. An outdoor detail will require a 23kt to 23.75kt leaf that ranges from 96% to 98.5% in purity. Karats less than 23 are recommended for indoor use.
