Regretfully we report that one of our buildings sustained damage following an accidental fire on Saturday. Importantly no one was hurt but it has impacted on our immediate capabilities.
We have initiated our emergency contingency plans and expect to begin some plating next week. Our capacity and capabilities will continue improve as we proceed.
We apologize to all of our customers for the inevitable delays, but rest assured the entire High Tech team is working extremely hard to get back to normal as soon as possible.
We appreciate the support and offers of help that have poured in these past few days and I promise that High Tech Finishing will become stronger from this. Whatever it takes!
A company’s excellence is defined not by the avoidance of problems, but by how it reacts, learns and improves because of those problems.
Although decorative plating is resilient, some interior components may require a more durable finish. Anodizing is a special surface treatment for aluminum components, which results in a very hard, wear-resistant surface. This is particularly useful for items such as hinges, strike-plates and thresholds.
We have used our experience with decorative plating and applied it to anodizing to achieve beautiful, consistent and enduring finishes; in four colors, clear polished, matte clear, black polished and matte black
Designers and aircraft owners are constantly looking for new offerings that balance function and aesthetics. High Tech Finishing’s new anodizing line can help you accomplish this.

Meticulous Cleaning and Inspection Processes
When we treat metal parts, you can rest easy knowing that your order is in the best hands. From the moment we receive parts to when we begin the plating process, our team will ensure that every detail receives proper attention.
Unrivaled Quality Assurance
Before plating any aircraft interior part, we will clean, inspect, degrease, and process it. By segregating parts based on their metal type and function, we ensure that each element is cared for and preserved correctly. Then, we will visually inspect each part to confirm that it is in good order and ready for plating.
Premium Plating and Polishing Steps
We undertake the process of anodizing and plate stripping each part with the utmost care and attention to detail. Throughout this process, our team continuously inspects the progress of polishing to ensure the highest levels of quality control.
Depending on the finishes you select, our belt polishing process involves four polishing steps and is followed by a grease polish, a sisal polish, an airway polish, a stitch polish, and a color polish.
Then, we perform another quality assurance visual inspection. Only then will we polish parts using our industry specialty tools. After this stage, each part is again cleaned and inspected before moving into the plating stage.
Exceptional Parts Plating Services
The plating process will vary depending on your selected finishes. We offer nickel base plating, color polishing, and multiple other plating processes steps to create an exceptional part with a dazzling look and high-quality functionality.
Per your specifications, every single element of the plating process is undertaken with adept deliberation. Between each stage of these processes, we will perform visual quality assurance inspections.

So, what are the keys to quality interior aircraft plating for the luxurious aesthetic you wish to bring to life? Consider the key concepts that manufacturing companies should look for when choosing an interior finishing company to support their business jet and private aircraft projects.
Attain Metal Finishing Services from Industry Professionals
Not all interior plating companies understand the unique particularities of the aviation industry. Aircraft design concepts must be executed with the utmost attention to detail. Additionally, finishes often need to be customized to accommodate unusual aircraft part sizes, applications, concepts, designs, and functionality as a whole.
As such, not just any finishing company will do for professional aircraft designs. Fortunately, HighTech Finishing specializes in aircraft interior parts plating. Working with us not only streamlines the plating and metal finishing processes, but it ensures a professionally executed job – every time.
Attention to Detail is Critical in Interior Parts Plating
In the interior of a business jet or any luxurious aircraft, attention to detail matters. These parts will likely be touched, examined, and noted in the peripheral of every passenger for years to come. Parts, plating, and finishes must be durable, functional, attractive, and well fitted within a cabin and a design concept.
At HighTech, our comprehensive 50-step decorative process ensures that industry design standards meet the highest quality. This applies to every single aircraft interior part plated. Our metal plating process includes the following key steps:
We mechanically polish the base metal of each part to a high sheen before advancing to the electroplating process.
Each part receives a base coating of copper plating, then nickel to seal the metal completely.
Our proven process prevents peeling, corrosion, and galvanic reactions – while extending the life of finished pieces.

Attention to Detail is the Essential When Designing Interiors
When working with high-end clientele, details are key. Business jet cabin interiors must excel in form, functionality, and aesthetic exceptionality. Customers familiar with genuine materials and premium authenticity are likely to notice when lower-quality materials have been integrated into a design. Therefore, cutting corners is not an option. The right finishing touches can make all of the difference when designing choice private jet interiors.

Aircraft Interior: Strike the Balance Between Appeal and Comfort
Lately, stylish comfort is trending. However, striking the perfect balance between comfort, luxury, and corporate professionality is a complex process.
Comfort-wise, many business jet interiors have been redesigned with bold, personal touches for 2022. These designs often showcase a fluid, organic form of professional integration. The look is professionally cozy. It’s not an easy feat, though!
What’s Trending in Aircraft Interior Design for 2022
Hammered and textured metals
Light-colored woods
Cool tones and gray-blue hues
Luxury comfort and adaptable functionality
Innovative tech for seamless connectivity
Custom touches and plated matching finishes
Bold stitching and dark metals
Updated appliances and holistic gadgets
Seamless, fluid design concepts
For business jet interiors, a touch of luxurious charisma adds an essential dose of allure. Textures, light-colored woods, satin finishes, and other delicate materials can be gorgeously offset by dark, metallic embellishments and high-quality parts.
Requests for hardwoods in non-traditional colors have become more prevalent in the Aircraft Interior Design industry as well. For instance, colors like gray, gray-blue, or stone-washed white pearlite, have become popular. All the while, red-hued beiges, warm tans, and browns have become less prevalent.
These neutral colors are then paired with hardwood flooring as opposed to stone, granite, or veneer finishes. However, marble is still popular, especially light-colored marbled finishes paired with warmer metallic tones and reflective accents.
Thick textured materials in shades of white, cream, or gray are also popular. Think gray and white marble with rose gold or warm-toned platinum metals. Comfortable chairs and custom, logo-etched dinnerware add an extra, sophisticated touch.
Comparatively, the demand for rose gold is not as high as it was in 2021. Instead, darker metals like black onyx, gunmetal gray, deep silver, and other cool tones are trending currently. Also, hammered metals, textures, and darker metal plating with cooler hues are popular.
Subtle Touches Drive Home a Feeling of Quality and Excellence
Comfort, luxury, and excellence can go hand in hand – provided you follow a seamless design theme. Integrating a casual and comfortable feel with professional quality concepts is easier when you pay close attention to the fine details.
Many corporate aircraft now feature company logos or other brand elements in wood finishes, embossed glassware, or parts such as metal buckles. Logos may also be stitched or etched into leather, stone, or integrated with metallic accent pieces. This is a creative way to subtly integrate a professional touch without interfering with the comfort factor of passengers.
However, comfort doesn’t stop merely at the aesthetic level. Heated floors, new appliances for the galley, and specialized countertops have been consistently popular in 2022. Layered LED cabin lighting and renovated bathrooms are a must. Convection steam ovens have been replacing microwaves while wide waterfall faucets and herringbone sinks are making their way into bathrooms.
Ultra-comfortable seating is another trend inspired by today’s preference for creature comforts. Massage chairs anyone? We recommend genuine leather with metallic accents that complement your current color scheme.
These features and amenities are critical pieces of the aircraft interior design puzzle. But, the aircraft interior product is not complete until interior parts have been plated to match the luxurious interior design.
Complete the Aircraft Interior with Metallic Finishes
For a completed look, aircraft interiors need to consider our selection of 130+ brilliant colors for interior parts. We offer gold, silver, platinum, nickel, and everything in-between in various tones, hues, and textures. There are endless combinations to match our finishes to your aircraft interior design.
Plus, we can custom match part finishes to samples you already have on hand. Whether you need to match fabrics, woods, paint swatches, or other materials from the aircraft interior, we have you covered.

We invite aircraft interior designers to contact us today to take advantage of the 2022 aircraft interior design trends and help you achieve your end goal of a fluid, modern, luxurious aesthetic.
With our help, your aircraft customers will immediately notice the quality and superiority of your design concepts. Contact us toll-free at 800-949-0124 or locally at 713-666-0550 to learn more about how we can help create a dazzling aircraft interior product for your customers through our interior parts plating service!
The use of helicopters for business travel is booming post-pandemic. Business executives and other business leaders have identified helicopter travel as a flexible and reliable method to quickly meet with customers.
Plus, traveling by helicopter reduces the risk of health concerns. Instead of being exposed to a large number of people sitting first-class on a commercial flight, business executives can enjoy limited contact in a safe, clean environment on a helicopter.
As a result of this positive trend, we anticipate that helicopter operators will remain busy throughout 2022 serving the needs of business passengers. That’s why we recommend investing in updates to the helicopter interior to maintain a luxurious look and feel.
Creating a luxurious helicopter interior will provide business travelers with the ideal environment to conduct business and prepare for important meetings at their destination. Consider the ways that helicopter operators and designers can elevate the interior in 2022.
Our Tips for Elevating the Helicopter Interior
Creating a luxurious environment for business travelers requires a keen eye and knowledge of the latest design trends. Consider the opportunity to apply these trends to the helicopter interior.
1. Apply Office Design Trends
The helicopter interior should serve as a natural extension of their corner office or the board room for business executives. As soon as a business traveler steps inside your helicopter, they should feel like they are sitting in a luxurious space prepared to make key decisions.
Consider using lighter colors with a mix of grays and neutral colors.
To create a positive atmosphere, consider using light wood mixed with flashes of colors.
Consider using subtle colors on flooring to create a sense of energy and focus.
Another consideration is whether to utilize specific branding or design elements. If you provide helicopter travel for one company, then you should consider incorporating their corporate logo and other brand marks into the interior design.
However, if you serve a variety of business executives from various corporations, then consider incorporating general design elements that would be universally appealing to business executives that set foot on your aircraft.
2. Evaluate Current Luxury Trends
Luxury is constantly evolving in other settings such as automotive, fashion, and jewelry. Take a look at advertisements in magazines such as Fortune, Forbes, and Inc. You can quickly get a visual feel for the latest luxury design trends that are in play.
For a more scientific approach, consider an example from the automotive world that can be applied to helicopter interior design. BASF spent considerable time and resources developing their 2021-2022 Automotive Color Trends collection for application in automotive design.
In summary, BASF is recommending color spaces “anchored in optimism and resilience” that take advantage of “calming, unwavering, and thought-provoking colors.” The color scheme is meant to capture the potential for individuals to press forward following two years of pandemic-related challenges.
The same applies to supporting business executives that will use your helicopter for transportation. The ideal use of color in the interior design scheme can provide executives with clarity of mind to prepare for what’s ahead making critical decisions.
3. Elevate Aircraft Interior Parts
Another key aspect of creating a luxurious helicopter interior is enhancing the interior parts. Cupholders, buckles, latches, lights, and hinges can all be enhanced to match the overall interior design, bringing everything to completion.
This is where HighTech Finishing comes into play. We provide high-quality decorative metal plating services for aircraft interior parts. We offer 130+ brilliant metal finishes, and we are constantly adding new colors to take advantage of the latest design trends.
Additionally, we will also create custom color finishes based on customer requests. For example, a helicopter operator recently asked us to craft a color that was different from standard interiors — one that would stand out from the pack.
After much research and deliberation, our team of experts suggested a new, intentionally whimsical color idea that was based in black with multi-color sparkles to catch the eye. We called it Pitch Black Stardust. And, it was exactly what the helicopter operator had in mind.
There are no limits when it comes to plating helicopter interior parts. We will gladly work with you and your team to devise the ideal finish that will bring your luxurious vision to life.
Contact HighTech to Help Elevate the Helicopter Interior
Now is the time to take advantage of the increased demand for helicopter transportation. Let’s discuss the application of helicopter interior design trends to your aircraft and our capabilities of providing superior metal plating services for interior parts.
Contact us today to get started on creating a luxury helicopter interior to serve your corporate clients. We would appreciate the opportunity to partner with you in 2022 and beyond to serve your latest needs.

Tips for Combining Finishes to Create a Complimentary Look
Light and dark, warm and cool, matte and gloss. The perfect contrasting materials and metallic finishes can add a touch of shine and create a sophisticated, timeless feel! Consider how to maximize your use of decorative nickel plating for interior parts.
Know Your Luster Levels
High shine and low shine finishes are ranked by their luster. The highest luster will come from polished finishes, followed by the luster of softer satin finishes, antique finishes, and last of all, matte finishes. These luster levels can work together to enhance various design elements, play off of the ambiance of your space, or layer textures for more visual appeal to the interior parts.
Create Contrast and Depth
Creating a contrasting look on interior parts can add critical elements of depth and visual appeal to the overall aircraft interior. This tactic is especially effective when creating an ambiance of luxury and depth within a small area such as a business airliner cabin. Consider mixing two or more of the premium finishes found in our Nickel family for a deep complementary look.
For instance, pairing a high-gloss choice with a matte option can also add depth and contrasting luster. Or, choose two tones in a complementary color house with differing depth, such as our Nickel Polished Bright and our Nickel Swirl.
Find Inspiration from Fixtures You Already Love
If you need more finish combination inspiration, look at some of the fixtures that you already like. Choose fixtures that combine two metals in the same wheelhouse with different tones. For parts used in small space designs such as aircraft cabins, it is best to choose visually appealing finishes with similarities to avoid overwhelming the space.
