Application

Astor can brush, polish and gold plate any metal. This includes aluminium, stainless steel, brass and mild steel. Please refer to production capacities when designing large format frames, flat or folded panels, balustrades & handrails.Part of the process to attain this finish includes scotchbrite to the nickel plating under the gold. On large format panels and complex shapes, this brush polishing process will result in limitations to consistency.Other applications include all architectural detailing; doorware, tapware, handrails and lift panels, joinery detailing, signage and furniture. Astor gold plating is very pure and as a result very soft so 90% of projects are finished with a clear 2 pac lacquer.
