Roll gold leaf allows the rapid gilding of large and flat surfaces. The individual leaves are applied manually onto a roll of tissue paper with a standard length of 20.5 meters (67.3 ft.) and a width that varies depending on the size of the leaf.
In the gilding phase, gold leaf rolls can be cut to length using ordinary scissors, taking particular care to ensure that they are cut at the joints between the leaves. Upon request, the roll can be supplied in a pre-cut width, ranging from a minimum of 10 millimeters (0.4 in), in a standard length of 20.5 meters (67.3 ft.).

Genuine gold leaf made in Florence – 24k to 6k
Manetti gold leaf rolls are available in different widths. The roll format allows them to be cut in millimeters, according to the client’s needs. We offer a wide range of karat levels (from 24 k to 6 k) and 26 colors like Red Gold, Champagne Gold, Citron Gold, Orange Gold, and our exclusive 22 karat Rose Gold, the result of 8 years of research and testing. Roll gold is suitable for gilding large smooth and rounded/curved surfaces, both indoors and outdoors, like ceilings and domes. The gilding process is very simple: after applying the adhesive size, the roll is unwound over the area to be gilded and the leaf is made to adhere by pressing down on the tissue paper side. The paper is then removed. The action of the glue allows adhesion and easy removal of the tissue paper.
