Bright or Glossy Chrome Plating
This type of chrome plating offers a high-shine, mirror-like finish that’s perfect for decorative applications. It’s commonly used on automotive parts, faucets, and decorative hardware to achieve a reflective, polished look.
Satin Chrome Plating
Satin chrome provides a smooth, matte finish with a subtle sheen. It’s ideal for modern and minimalist designs, offering a sophisticated look without the glare of glossy chrome. Note that after coating, satin chrome is not electrically conductive.
Brushed Chrome Plating
Brushed chrome has a textured, linear finish that adds depth and character to the surface. It’s perfect for applications where a more industrial or vintage aesthetic is desired. Like satin chrome, brushed chrome is non-conductive after coating.
Hard Chrome Plating
Hard chrome plating is known for its durability and wear resistance. It’s typically used in industrial applications to enhance the lifespan of machinery parts, tools, and components subjected to heavy use. This finish is less about aesthetics and more about function.
