Silver plating is a galvanic treatment that is divided into:
- Decorative silvering: is carried out on artistic objects in general
- Technical silvering: on electromechanical parts, copper contacts, steel nuts/li>
- Selective Silver Plating: silver is deposited in a targeted manner on parts requested by the customer
It is carried out for both decorative and functional purposes, and is also applied in electrical engineering to aid electrical contacts and thickening for electromechanical parts.

WE CERTIFY THE THICKNESS AND HARDNESS OF THE DEPOSITS ON THE SURFACES WE TREAT.
The characteristics of the coatings (hardness, thickness, color, crystalline grain, etc.) depend strictly on the composition of the bath, the temperature, the electrical conditions and any mechanical housing.
The silver deposits usually appear milky, velvety, easy to polish.
Among the galvanic treatments, silvering stands out for its versatility of use: with the deposit of a thin layer of silver on the support (mainly metallic), the treated surface takes on luster and brilliance, which is why silvering is often used for embellishment of objects.
In addition to decoration, silvering is also used in electrical engineering thanks to the conductive properties of silver that make it ideal for making electrical contacts; the silvering gives the surface a reflective power, particularly appreciated in the world of optics; a treatment that concern only some parts of the surface is called selective silvering.
To confirm the quality of its silver plating, Doratura Manerbese issues certificates containing information on the thickness and hardness of the materials treated.
