Metal Electroplating & Special Finishes, Dubai & Sharjah
For architectural metalwork and signage that needs a jewellery-grade finish, Metroplus offers metal electroplating Dubai brands specify for chrome, brass, gold and copper letter faces, alongside powder coating signage Sharjah factories use for weather-durable colour finishes on aluminium and steel substrates.
Raw Metal vs. Finished Output
Every finish starts as raw stainless steel, brass or aluminium stock, is prepped (degreased, media-blasted or polished), then electroplated or powder-coated to the specified RAL/finish code. Finished parts are inspected under our factory QC process before fabrication into letters, panels or trim.
Technical Specifications
| Finish Type | Substrate | Durability Rating |
| Chrome / nickel electroplating | Brass, stainless steel | Indoor: excellent; outdoor: requires clear lacquer topcoat |
| Gold / brass electroplating (PVD alternative) | Brass, stainless steel | Indoor: excellent; outdoor: UV-stable with protective coating |
| PVD coating | Stainless steel | Outdoor-rated, scratch and corrosion resistant, 10+ year typical lifespan |
| Powder coating (RAL colour range) | Aluminium, mild steel, galvanised steel | Outdoor-rated, UAE sun and humidity tested |
Electroplating vs PVD — Which to Specify
PVD coating generally outperforms traditional electroplating for exterior signage exposed to Dubai’s sun and humidity, while electroplating remains cost-effective for indoor feature letters and retail displays.
