We're planning to use silver plating as an anti-rust solution for the custom metal hardware that we are designing. Our silversmiths in Celuk are helping us with this process. It’s not as expensive as it sounds and it will be a unifying detail throughout the property.
We've just completed the first two tests. Here are the first photos of our silver plated elements.
This is a bracket that we designed last year. Two of these can support a wooden branch and become a towel bar for instance.
The second test is a door handle made of three bent rebars welded together
Silver plating protects the iron from rust while preserving its raw quality.
We're designing the shower controls from scratch with basic plumbing elements so we plan to use silver plating for shower knobs too.
