Gold Balustrades – The Perfect Way to Add Luxury to Your Staircase
Most homeowners choose common materials such as glass, wood and metal for balustrades and staircases. However, have you ever wondered what unusual designs can be turned into a reality today? We, at V.P Stairs provide the option of coating real gold on balustrades. Yeah, you have read it right, we provide 24-carat pure gold plating on staircase balustrades.
Do you want to turn an ordinary staircase into a luxurious staircase? Let us tell you more about gold balustrades, the technology, and the way we make it a reality. We’re sure you’ll be thrilled with this solution!
Soft Electrolytic Gold Plating Technology
One of the main questions customers may have when gold plating balustrades is how we do it and what techniques we use. With our extensive experience in this field, we have identified the best method for such a task, which is called soft electrolytic gold plating.
This technology allows V.P Stairs specialists to apply a coating of pure gold (24 carats) with a thickness of 0.1 microns. Generally, this method is used not only for covering balustrades, but also for small accessories and decorative items. It allows us to obtain an elegant matte finish, which adheres tightly to the object and protects it from possible damage and chipping. In addition to gold, we also provide options for plating balustrades with pure silver, which has a cheaper cost and a superior look.
Several Reasons to Choose Gold Balusters for Your Staircase
Clients who have contacted us for a real gold plating project on balustrades have been satisfied. Why is that? It’s all about gold, as it is an amazing material. We’ve put together for you the top three reasons why ordering gold balustrades is a great decision.
- Durability. Gold is considered one of the most durable metals on the planet. It does not rust or tarnish. It is virtually impervious to anything, including water, dust or dirt.
- Luxurious look. Imagine what the staircases in royal palaces looked like a few centuries ago. Yeah, these are luxurious staircases that shine thanks to a thin layer of gold. Moreover, a staircase with gold balustrades can be very easily combined with different interior options.
- Rarity. How many times during your life have you seen staircases that are covered in gold? We can safely say that such projects are quite rare and it’s a great way to make the interior of your home stand out from the rest.
Actually, the benefits of gold balustrades are not limited to these three points. As you know, gold is a valuable asset that is constantly growing in value. In simple words, such a project can even be called an investment. A house that has balustrades covered with gold, you will definitely be able to sell it for more.
Gold Balustrades – Expensive or Not?
As you might have realised by now, gold balustrades are about luxury, quality, and durability. However, many people think that it is too expensive to realise such a project. Is this really the case? Here are the factors that affect the cost of gold balustrades:
- Area of coverage.
- Surface cleanliness.
- Surface relief.
- Thickness of the coating.
- Material of the product.
- Difficulty of covering.
Obviously, the most important factor affecting the cost of a finished balustrade project is the area of coverage and the thickness of the gold layer. You should also consider what material your balustrades are made of. Gold, silver, rhodium lays down well on nickel, copper, and silver. Other metals (stainless steel, aluminium, silumin, etc.) require additional backing, which increases the cost of the project.

Cost Comparison of Metal and Wood Stairs
As the statistics show, cost is one of the main factors in choosing a staircase for your property. Many people focus on the price instead of aesthetic attraction. That is why we offer a small comparison of price formation for metal and wooden projects.
Of course, metal and wood are of different types. This is the main factor that forms the final price. For example, oak is characterised by its high cost, while coniferous trees are cheaper. Metal staircases also depend on the specific type of material. If you want to implement luxurious elements made of gold, it can cost you a lot.
What conclusions about the cost of stairs can be drawn? It is generally accepted that wooden staircase materials are more expensive than metal. You may ask why this is so. Wood is a natural and ecological material that is limited in production.

Undoubtedly, such staircases look luxurious and expensive. However, I don’t understand whether they will be durable and trouble-free to use.

How demanding are gold finishes in terms of cleaning? Do they need special products or just gentle regular care?

Thank you for your question. Gold-effect finishes typically require only gentle non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth. We always provide maintenance recommendations tailored to the specific materials used in your project.
