Bright Chrome

The bright chrome finish is characterised by its dazzling reflective surface, achieved through the electroplating of chromium over a bright nickel coating.

Main benefits of Bright Crome

  • Bright chrome finish delivers a dazzling, mirror-like appearance that adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to metal components, enhancing their visual appeal and making them stand out.

  • The bright nickel coating underneath the chrome layer prevents the underlying metal from tarnishing, ensuring that the finish retains its brilliance and luster over time, even in harsh environments.

  • Chrome plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, protecting metal components from rust and degradation caused by exposure to moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive elements.

  • The chrome plating process can increase the hardness of metal components, making them more durable and resistant to wear, abrasion, and scratching, thus extending their lifespan.

  • Bright chrome finishes are easy to clean and maintain, requiring only regular wiping with a soft cloth and mild detergent to keep them looking like new, making them ideal for applications where cleanliness is important.

Brilliance and Durability

Enhancing the aesthetic appeal while providing essential protection against tarnishing.

Chrome plating serves not only decorative purposes but also offers practical benefits such as corrosion resistance, increased hardness, and ease of cleaning. At Star Polishing and Plating, we provide bright chrome finishes for a wide range of metal components and parts, including electrical plug sockets, car parts, metal screws, bath taps, shower heads, beer pumps, and decorative items. Our high-quality metal finishes are suitable for various substrates, including cast iron, zinc, aluminium, steel, brass, and stainless steel.

Unlike satin chrome, which offers varying shades and textures, bright chrome delivers a uniform, mirror-like finish that exudes sophistication and elegance. There are two main types of chromium plating: hexavalent and trivalent. While hexavalent chrome has been used for decades, trivalent chrome has emerged as a safer alternative, with improved health and safety considerations.
