PlatingElectroplating uses an electrical current to add a layer of metal to each casting, giving it its final colour and finish.
What is electroplating?
Electroplating uses an electrical current to deposit layers of metal onto the surface of a casting. It changes the colour of the piece without changing its shape, so a cast piece can leave our plating line looking like gold, silver or bronze.
How does plating work at Strath Craft?
Our in-house electroplating line finishes every metal item we produce. Once castings have been knifed, filed and buffed, they're plated in the finish you choose:
- Antique gold
- Antique silver
- Antique bronze
- Black nickel
- Bright gold
- Bright nickel
- Bright bronze
Which finish should I choose?
Bright finishes give a polished, reflective look, while antique finishes give a classic, traditional feel. Helping you select the right combination of materials for your project is our specialty, and plated pieces can also be hand painted in the final stage of production.
