Gilding in the interior, the gold finish of any surface or product looks very rich, creates an aura of majesty and solemnity. However, gold leaf, the cost of which is quite high, is used infrequently, because paying for the material and gilding work is not a cheap pleasure. That is why in most cases, for the design of any surface, potal is used – an artificial analog of gold, which can not be distinguished from the precious metal in appearance. It is important to understand that what kind of gilding you choose – gold leaf, gold, gold dye on an acrylic base – the application of gilding on the surface should be carried out exclusively by professional masters.

Therefore, the design of sheet gold implies a certain status of the object, in relation to which the gilding will be carried out. As a rule, such facilities include church buildings, temples and monasteries, palace complexes and other buildings that have great architectural and cultural value. Gilding with gold leaf is made more often with respect to domes, towers and other similar elements of buildings, mainly of canonical designation.
