{"id":796,"count":10,"description":"Gold leaf for exterior applications is used for the gilding of architectural surfaces exposed to weather conditions, such as monuments, historic fa\u00e7ades, domes, statues, gates and ornamental details. Gold leaf gilding has been used for centuries in the restoration and enhancement of historic buildings and monumental works, thanks to gold\u2019s ability to reflect light and give surfaces great brightness and prestige.\r\n\r\nFor exterior gilding it is essential to use noble metals of high purity, selected for their resistance to oxidation and their ability to maintain brilliance and stability over time. The types of gold leaf most suitable for outdoor use are\u00a0<strong>24 kt pure yellow gold<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>23.75 kt orange gold<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>23.5 kt orange gold<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>23 kt RU yellow gold<\/strong>, particularly suitable for monuments, historic buildings and architectural elements exposed to outdoor conditions.\u00a0<strong>Platinum and palladium<\/strong>\u00a0are also ideal metals for exterior applications, as they do not oxidize and ensure excellent resistance to weathering.\r\n\r\nGold leaf for exterior use has been employed in numerous prestigious international projects. Among the most significant works realized with our gold leaf is the\u00a0<strong>gilding of the sphere on the dome of Florence Cathedral<\/strong>, one of the symbolic elements of the city. Other projects include the\u00a0<strong>gilding of the tower of Big Ben in London<\/strong>, the famous\u00a0<strong>statue at Rockefeller Center in New York<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>Fondazione Prada building in Milan<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>dome of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver<\/strong>, and architectural details in the\u00a0<strong>Grand Place (Grote Markt) in Brussels<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nTo ensure long-lasting exterior gilding, it is also important to use specific products for the preparation and application of the leaf. The dedicated range includes\u00a0<strong>gilding sizes, adhesives and protective systems<\/strong>, designed to ensure proper adhesion of the gold leaf and protect the gilded surface from rain, wind, humidity and pollution.","link":"https:\/\/www.manetti.com\/en\/b2b-catalog\/exterior-gilding\/","name":"Exterior
