Forms a Protective Barrier

When it comes to professional electroplating, people come to us to help better protect their antique. That is because electroplating forms a protective barrier that will help it against corrosion and other simple types of damages. Thus, extending its lifespan. Plated parts typically are stronger, last longer and do not need to be replaced as frequently.

Will Look Nicer

Many of the antiques we work on have some wear and tear, which is to be expected. However, after our professional electroplating services, the item will look nicer and have a more beautiful look. So not only will it last longer after the process, but it will also look better.

Prevents Tarnishing

One of the biggest reasons anybody looks to electroplating services in the first place is due to tarnishing and general wear and tear of an object. However, some types of electroplating protect against any premature tarnishing in certain metals, while also reducing the likelihood of scratching. This holds especially true for silverware. Our electroplating services can help your spoons, forks and knives hold their value over time by not tarnishing as quickly.

Increases Hardness & Thickness

A common failure of antiques is that they become more brittle and break down over the years. However, when you turn to the professional electroplating services at Luis Restorations, our electroplating services will make brittle materials stronger. That is because plated surfaces are not as susceptible to damage when struck or dropped, which only improves on their lifespan.

On top of improving upon the hardness, the thickness of the object can also improve with electroplating. Once again helping increase the longevity of the object.

Help To Conduct Electricity

Depending on the type of antique we are working on, the electroplating being done can help to conduct electricity. So, if it is an older lamp or light fixture, we can restore it and make sure it continues to work for years to come.

Heat Resistant

Some plating processes are better at withstanding heat and thus will have a longer lifespan. A crucial element when dealing with some older antiques. We want every restoration job to be successful and sometimes that restoration takes into account being resistant to heat.

Creates Less Friction

When you get our professional electroplating services done, you will have an item that creates less friction. Nickel plating is effective at reducing the build-up of friction in some materials and can reduce the overall wear and tear of the object. So, you can extend its lifespan with these plating services.

Good Adhesion

Lastly, some plating, such as copper plating, is a great way to facilitate adhesion with other coatings. Copper plating provides a smooth and uniform surface finish and allows us to more easily complete the work at hand.

Electroplating is a common plating process that uses an electric current to effectively reduce dissolved metal cations and does so to form a coherent metal coating on an electrode. In general, the main function of the electroplating process is to change the surface proportions of an object. Such as from one metal to another. Overall, electroplating is important because it can help many features of the surface, including wear and resistance, corrosion protection, abrasion, lubricity and aesthetic qualities.
