About Us
read moreFor nearly 50 years, we have refined our craft to offer our clients high quality workmanship using the finest gold leaf available. With gold leaf, you truly get what you pay for as the alternatives lack the brilliance inherent to 23k gold. The leaf is applied to the surface once it has been sanded, primed, enameled and varnished with gold size. Once cured, the gold is burnished to enhance it's natural shine. If handled properly, the gold will not tarnish for decades and does not require a top coat.

read moreOver the years we've experimented with a variety of wood species to determine which provides optimal performance for each specific application. In the early 70's, most of our sandblasted wood signs were made from reclaimed, Clear Heart Redwood salvaged from the rooftop water storage tanks that once dotted Chicago's skyline. When these tanks would fall into disrepair, they would need to be removed from the building's rooftop. Amazingly, after thousands of years in existence and hundreds of years of service, the material still retains it's beauty and structural integrity.

HDU is a closed cell foam material that does not absorb moisture making it extremely stable and relatively unaffected by temperature. HDU will not warp, rot, crack, or decompose. It is lightweight and very easy to machine or carve. By sandblasting it, we can simulate a natural wood grain look in the HDU as shown in the image on the left (West End Dental).HDU is considered to be environmentally friendly and meets the LEED requirements for obtaining USGBC and ICC 700-2008 building reqs.
