Thanks to Materica Lab’s continuous research, we are happy to present a new finishing called Silver Plated. It is a metallic finishing that is very much in demand in the Luxury market, emulated to date only with a varnish. To achieve this important goal, our research laboratories have worked with passion and courage, experimenting with different techniques. It is a transition of the metal into a new, warm and elegant version.

Silver plated is reminiscent of silverware marked by time and capable of combining aesthetics with design, an innovation that can change the way objects and surfaces are conceived and re-conceived thanks to a new look. By silvering metal, Materica offers its customers a new opportunity to make their projects unique and precious.

The Silver Plated Finishing Technique

The Silver Plated finish is the result of an innovative technique to produce a silvery layer on metal. This is achieved through a very precise process, which begins with metallisation and continues with a special treatment of the metal, transforming the intense yellow colour of brass into a refined and elegant champagne hue. This guarantees an astonishing reworking of the colour of the famous metal, which thus takes on a new essence.

Indeed, the final product lives in a new light, while maintaining its integrity and intrinsic characteristics. Silver plating is therefore used to enhance an object or surface and give it an additional tone of refined delicacy. Ideal in interior design and art because it is able to combine protective and decorative aspects, this Silver Plated finishing covers and shines with a new and fascinating colour. This is why Materica considers silver plating a technique with great potential, on which to focus to bring a breath of fresh air into the world of art and design.
