FAQ

Advice and answers from Daumet

How durable are Daumet’s gilding finishes?

Our gilding finishes are highly durable, thanks to our innovative knowledge in gold metallurgy and our know-how. We adapt our process to your product requirements so our gilding finishes offer excellent resistance to wear, tarnishing, and environmental factors like humidity and UV exposure, ensuring that your creations maintain their brilliance over time.

Can Daumet’s gilding techniques be customized for different design needs?

Yes, Daumet offers complete customization in gilding, including the choice of gold colors (yellow, rose, white, custom) and the application of patterns, gradients, and bespoke designs. Our expertise ensures that your creative vision is brought to life with precision and quality.

What are the benefits of using PVD technology in gilding?

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology provides a uniform, high-quality finish while minimizing the use of harmful chemicals and reducing environmental impact. It also allows for the application of very thin, durable layers of gold that preserve the original design and texture of the materials.

These attributes allow us to push gold finishing boundaries that were traditionally set by gold leaf and gold embossing on leather techniques.

How does Daumet’s gilding technique go beyond traditional gold leaf and gold embossing on leather?

Daumet’s advanced gilding techniques surpass traditional methods like gold leaf and gold embossing by providing greater durability and precision. Our PVD coating process creates a long-lasting, environmentally resistant gold finish that maintains its brilliance over time, even on worn products by your clients like leather goods.

Additionally, we offer extensive customization in gold colors, gradients, and bespoke designs, allowing luxury brands to achieve more intricate and personalized finishes that were previously unattainable with traditional methods.
