Metal Leaf - Schlagaluminum

Schlagaluminum Leaf is valued by artists and decorative finishers for its bright, silvery appearance and lightweight composition, offering a clean, reflective metallic finish suitable for a wide range of interior applications. As an aluminum-based metal leaf, it provides a cool-toned alternative to traditional gold-colored schlagmetal while maintaining ease of use and versatility.

Aluminum is a stable, non-tarnishing metal, allowing Schlagaluminum Leaf to retain its color and brightness over time. However, while it will not tarnish, it may darken or dull over time if left unsealed, particularly when exposed to handling or environmental conditions. A protective topcoat can be applied to help preserve its original brightness and finish.

Schlagaluminum is packaged in bulk boxes of 5,000 leaves, making it well-suited for large-scale projects and production environments. Each box is subdivided into 10 units, with each unit containing 500 leaves wrapped in paper. Within each unit, tissue paper is placed between every 100 leaves to assist with handling, organization, and protection during use.

Schlagaluminum Leaf is ideal for:

• Large-scale decorative finishes

• Interior architectural applications

• Furniture and cabinetry

• Murals and contemporary artwork

• Signage and display work

Like other composition metal leaf products, Schlagaluminum is typically handled using traditional gilding techniques and should be applied to a properly prepared surface using an appropriate size. Clean, dry tools are recommended to maintain the integrity of the leaf during handling.

Schlagaluminum Leaf is intended for interior use and should be stored in a stable, dry environment to preserve its quality prior to application. When properly applied, it offers a durable, economical, and non-tarnishing metallic finish with a crisp, modern appearance.
