Surface Gilding: signs | interior decoration | exterior finishes
Surface gilding requires an oil based mordant, usually gold size, to be applied to any sound surface to which a metallic leaf or powder (bronzing) is then adhered. The choice of gilded finishes available is vast, as effects and treatments can be applied to all leaf types on top of any pre-coloured size. Tigersigns are specialists in applying leaf to lettering on signs as well as ornamental relief work and exterior street furnishings.
