[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]It pleases us to announce that starting this month we are now the exclusive UK distributor for K\u00f6lner products! Starting from today we will stock and distribute their range of high-end, German-made gilding products.<\/p>\r\n
Our relationship with K\u00f6lner started with a workshop in London last winter. An enthusiastic group of our most talented clients braved the freezing weather to take a class in gilding using the K\u00f6lner Instacoll Gilding System. Peter Voshart, one of the owners of K\u00f6lner demonstrated this and K\u00f6lner’s other innovative gilding products. Under his expert tutelage the class was treated to a demonstration of finishes possible using K\u00f6lner’s revolutionary products.<\/p>\r\n
Our clients have years of experience with traditional gilding and products. In spite of this, Peters infections enthusiasm and confidence in his product soon swayed even the most dubious of them. The initial apprehension on how well the product would work vanished as soon as Peter guided them through their first application of the Instacoll Gilding system. After laying leaf onto the Instacoll Base all it took was a buff to create a glossy finish. The brightness and gloss of the gilt finish blew them away, even the biggest naysayers![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1652368284967{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1652368284967{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”1151″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652871233057{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1149″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652871445771{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1652368284967{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”1148″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652871456004{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1150″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652871432515{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652871726675{margin-top: 60px !important;}”]<\/p>\r\n

We were so impressed by K\u00f6lner\u2019s products that we needed to know more. One of the directors of Gold Leaf Supplies, Steve Rees, decided to visit the factory in Germany.<\/p>\r\n

The staff of K\u00f6lner showed the warmest hospitality and offered Steve a guided tour. After touring the factory Steve saw examples of items gilded using the Instacoll Gilding System. The finishes that trained German gilders have created using Instacoll are breathtaking. The visit convinced Steave that K\u00f6lner would be an excellent company to work with. Kolner\u2019s staff and directors were friendly and impeccably professional, and their product excellent. The magnificent range of work on display was all the proof that their range would fit well with our client base and existing products.<\/p>\r\n
K\u00f6lner’s range of products for gilding is quite broad, with a product for almost any use, including stone, ceramics and more. Their flagship product is the Instacoll Gilding System<\/a>. This water-based system creates intense high-gloss gilded finishes on both interior and exterior surfaces. For stonemasons we recommend K\u00f6lner Rapid Stone<\/a>. This product designed for stonemasons and letter cutters looking to gild blasted or carved stone. Another specialist product is K\u00f6lner Miniatum<\/a>. It’s designed for use on flexible surfaces such as paper, leather, and vellum – it’s perfect for illuminating manuscripts. If you are looking to gild, or repair previous gilding, on ceramic items then K\u00f6lner’s Ceramic Size<\/a> is the best product for the job. Finally, K\u00f6lner Permacoll<\/a> is a superb, water-based adhesive size. It’s well-suited for large interior projects, such as gilding walls and ceilings.<\/p>\r\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1156″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652872118772{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1155″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652872141128{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1158″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652872152472{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1157″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1652872173263{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]It pleases us to announce that starting this month we are now the exclusive UK distributor for K\u00f6lner products!
