The surface decoration “for gold” has a fairly wide scope of use: the gilding is covered with domes of temples and cathedrals, the tops of towers, dial and clock hands in city halls, decorative elements of buildings and structures. It is no secret that gold has a high cost and is quite expensive in processing material.
Today, technology such as gilding has many options and may involve coating the desired surfaces with a thin layer of gold or artificial gold.
Currently, several techniques for gilding surfaces are used:
- Gilding potalju – drawing on a surface of an alloy on the basis of copper simulating the invoice of gold.
- Gilding – painting with gold-containing dyes (aerosol, acrylic)
- Printed metal – decorative coating for various interior elements, furniture and accessories (mirrors, picture frames, countertops, etc.)
- Coating with transfer gold – applying to the desired surface of thin gold plates with a special adhesive composition.
- Gold leaf – a covering of preliminary ground surface with sheet gold, followed by polishing with agate.
- Polished gilded surface with agate.
- Variety of options for gilding:
One way or another to create a “golden” effect is selected based on such factors:
- The purpose of the surface.
- Surface conditions of the surface or product (inside or outside the building).
- Financial capabilities of the customer.

Modern technology allows you to realize any of your ideas, regardless of their complexity and scale: you can cover the gilded window frames or door leaf, stair rail or balustrade, chandelier or fireplace, column or dome of the building.
