Whether you’re seeking timeless elegance or bold, contemporary designs, HEPP’s finishing techniques provide endless possibilities to personalise your tableware.
HEPP’s Diverse Range of Surface Finishes
Silver-Plating – Classic Brilliance HEPP’s silver-plating technique combines robust stainless steel with a fine layer of silver, using a galvanic bath to form a strong bond. This process imparts a soft, radiant brilliance, adding timeless sophistication to cutlery and serving items. A hallmark of HEPP’s reputation as the inventor of hotel silver, silver-plated pieces reflect decades of expertise and are perfect for those who appreciate tradition.
Real Gold Finishing – Pure Luxury HEPP offers the ultimate in luxury by coating cutlery with pure gold. This exclusive finish lends a warm, radiant glow to your tableware, turning each piece into a precious work of art. Ideal for establishments seeking to provide their guests with an unforgettable dining experience, the gold-plated cutlery exudes elegance and exclusivity.
Glass Bead Blasting – Timeless, Silky Matt Shimmer For a refined, subtle texture, HEPP’s glass bead blasting technique is ideal. By treating the surface with high-speed glass beads, the result is a silky, matt finish with understated elegance. This process creates an even, homogeneous surface, adding a sophisticated touch to any table setting.
Stonewashing – Distinctive and Rustic HEPP’s stonewashing finish brings a vintage, rustic charm to your table. Each piece of cutlery is uniquely crafted with slight variations in texture, providing an authentic, well-worn feel that is perfect for establishments aiming for a more individual and character-filled ambience.
Brushed Finish – Dynamic Elegance HEPP’s brushed finishes are defined by fine, consistent lines worked into the surface with a grinding brush. This dynamic, linear design adds modern sophistication to cutlery, enhancing any contemporary dining concept.
PVD Coating – Bold Color Accents For those seeking to make a bold statement, HEPP’s PVD coating process offers an exciting array of colors and textures. Using physical vapor deposition, this technique produces a durable, resistant surface with brilliant color finishes. Choose from HEPP’s elegant PVD variants, including gold, light gold, copper, anthracite, and black, to make your tableware truly stand out.
Cross-Grafting – Custom Creations For the ultimate in personalised design, HEPP offers cross-grafting, allowing clients to combine multiple finishing techniques for unique results. This bespoke service is ideal for businesses that want to express their individuality with signature tableware collections.
