Gilding is a decorative technique that adds beauty and protection to any building element by applying fine gold or powder to solid surfaces such as wood, stone, glass or metal, to create a lustrous and grand look.
Gold is resistant to corrosion, which makes it an excellent metal for outdoor and indoor use.
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. Because gold is highly resistant to corrosion, it provides a protective barrier that extends the service life of the product it is applied to and it does not tarnish.
THE MAKING OF FUNKE'S
23K GLASS GILDING ON STOREFRONT ENTRANCE GLASS
Gold leaf is gold that has been hammered into thin sheets by “goldbeating” – the process of hammering the gold into an extremely thin unbroken sheet. It is primarily used for gilding and is available in a wide variety of karats and tones which vary from yellow to silver.
The result of this technique create a coating with unmatched perfection and brilliance worth the investment.
Famous for being both indestructible and malleable, its craft dates back from ancient times and it can be applied to almost any surface, producing a warm glow on objects, architecture and sculptures. The reflected light in gold enlivens flat surfaces and creates joy and fascination that will last for decades.
