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.

Our Latest Business Jet Interior Design Tips
Without further ado, here are five of the most captivating design ideas for private aircraft in 2022 and beyond.
1. Bridging the Gap Between Modern Interior Design Trends and Air Travel
As with all things fashionable, interior design trends are constantly moving. To keep pace with an ever-evolving world of modern ideas, the latest and greatest interior designs merge current trends with timeless standards. The result is a composed and elegant look that is simultaneously savvy and chic.
For example, many retro trends have been emerging in what was recently a bohemian domain space. Perhaps, this is due to a recent shift in the mainstream consciousness toward sustainability. Therefore, be sure that any design concept you are considering will stay relevant and attractive for years to come.
Premium quality and competent design plans will always be pertinent. As such, while adding trendy touches is fine, for aviation applications, these concepts must also be able to stand up to the test of time. This brings us to our next concept: sustainability through quality.
2. Sustainability Done Right for Timeless Allure
Although going green is trending, it is wise to remember that the most sustainable designs are those built to last. There’s nothing wrong with sustainability. However, educated clients are more than aware of the impracticality of “greenwashing.”
Ultimately, choosing durable, high-quality materials and ensuring that layouts will be well-suited for the long haul will lead to more sustainable design outcomes. This yields the most benefits for clients and designers alike. As you work on your design, ask yourself:
Which materials are most durable?
How can a space serve multiple functions?
Will this design stand up to the test of time?
What retro concepts have never gone out of style?
How will my client interact with this material?
Using your ingenuity to integrate only the most pragmatic trends will create a smarter, more sustainable end result. Moreover, when adding trending design touches, the top designers almost unanimously agree that less is more.
Gentle color suggestions and neutrals are always in vogue. If using patterns, stick with the classics. Real materials like leather, wood, and stone never go out of style. You may also want to choose a conceptual piece to use as a jumping point for your design scheme.
3. Detailed Touches to Transform a Design
When it comes to the interior of an aircraft, the devil is always in the details. This is why premium aircraft use custom-crafted interior parts. Not only will passengers and clients notice detailed touches when stepping inside the jet, but they won’t be able to turn their eyes away from well-crafted pieces as they are enveloped in luxury during their journey through the air.
The question then becomes, how can you enhance your design using small, thoughtful touches? Whether you want to add decorative statement pieces in the main cabin or utilize a metallic filigree along the sides of a table, these details can transform your configuration.
Bring your vision to life by juxtaposing contrasting elements or breathe life into a look using natural materials. Or, use subtle complementary touches to draw the eye in the direction of your choosing. While most creators do this already, in a plane or jet, this notion is more important than ever.
4. Playing With Light and Technology to Make Spaces Feel Comfortable
For aircraft interiors, ensuring that a space is both functional, enjoyable, and beautiful is paramount. This is true no matter what the design concept may be.
Even when a configuration is supposed to create intimacy, no one wants a cabin to feel claustrophobic. For this reason, consider your use of light, reflective surfaces, and the latest technology carefully. Using light to enlarge spaces can create interior magic in a jet!
Implementing new technology is a smart way to make spaces multi-functional. Using your ingenuity to add duality to furnishings or constricted areas is wise and sophisticated. Your implementation of light can make or break your design’s entire look.
Additionally, the effects of illumination and refraction are incredibly important. Allow these elements to work for you, not against you in an aircraft’s interior design.
5. Adding Enchanting Metallic Finishes to Complete the Look
Finally, you should think long and hard about the quality and use of any and all metallic finishes. Which finishes will you be utilizing to bring together your design concept? Make sure to use high-quality materials that immaculately fit with the rest of your design. These finishes must also endure for the long haul.
For many aviation designers, this means custom-ordering all metallic finishes for an aircraft through specialists. That’s where High Tech Finishing comes in. Not only do we have some of the finest interior aircraft plating specialists on our team, but we can help you select the perfect metal finish for each custom-plated interior part.

For the final word in elite aircraft interior luxury, look no further than 24k gold. Nothing can compete with the lustrous feel, opulent glint, and magnificent aesthetic appeal of pure gold, which is why the world’s most luxurious private jets utilize gold throughout the aircraft interior.
Apart from its ability to create a luminous and luxurious effect in the interior of a private jet, 24k gold is one of the most hygienic and corrosion-resistant finishes that money can buy. With a rich, bright color that is more reflective than brass or copper, gold finishes create a wonderfully classic and timeless ambiance. You simply can’t put a price tag on that.
Solid gold is the ultimate finish for those who want nothing to make a statement about their success on a global scale. Learn more about why now is the time to invest in 24k gold to elevate the interior of your flying palace.
Gold Interior Finishes Are Always Trending for Aircraft
Gold never goes out of style and can add depth, luxury, and warmth to any interior design concept. It is ideal for business moguls and other individuals seeking to create elite spaces.
Whether you’re flying for business or pleasure, gold makes the ultimate power statement anywhere you go. This premium finish sends an immediate message to passengers that you have achieved a level of success that places you among the upper echelon of air travelers.
In the world of aesthetic visual appeal, gold classically pairs with matte black finishes for a feeling of contrast, capability, and quality. Gold also can take the look of marble, granite, velvet, satin, leather, or cashmere to new levels of top-tier desirability.
Gold in Business Jet Interiors: The Ultimate Power Play
HighTech Finishing offers nine distinct types of 24k gold finishes for aircraft interior parts. You can view our impressive selection in the Gold Family from our expansive selection of brilliant decorative metal finishes.
Each of the following 24k gold finishes has a distinct look, allowing you to enjoy interior decor versatility like no other as you look to translate success in the conference room to the air.
– 24K Gold Polished Bright: For the brightest and most luminous golden glow, this highly polished finish is the way to go. It has warm tones of yellow gold to create an ambiance of warmth and shimmering hospitality. It also adds illuminating luster to small or large spaces. This is an instant classic that drips rich magnetism.
– 24K Gold Satin: For a slightly more subtle but equally luxurious feel, our Gold Satin finish is a perfect choice. This soft golden tone goes with warm or cool colors. It complements a range of interior finishes beautifully. This shade wonderfully emboldens tones like coral, rose, cream, cyan, or teal. Smooth to the touch, this finish feels as wonderful as it looks.
– 24K Gold Frosted: Slightly warmer than our Gold Satin tone but cooler than Gold Polished Bright, this Frosted Gold finish is ideal for creating depth and warmth. It is simultaneously modern and classy with the perfect polished luminosity. This color goes with cool hues, amber palettes, colored gems, and rose.
– 24K Gold Light Aged: Looking for something that will add a timeless feeling of elite opulence? This delicately aged shade will do the trick. It’s subtle and muted, yet rich and chic. This light shade complements just about any color palette.
– 24K Gold Medium Aged: For a slightly darker look, this savvy chic shade is a lovely choice. It pairs with wood or stone finishes like teak or marble stunningly. We recommend this color to those seeking a balance of warm and cool tones.
– 24K Gold Dark Aged: Our darkest shade of genuine gold, this 24K Dark Aged finish is ideal for clients who want to subtly incorporate the splendor of gold in a small space. It draws the eye and inspires curiosity while adding an elegant and unquestionably luxurious touch to aviation interiors.
– 24K Matte Gold: Another instant classic, this is easily one of the most popular shades we offer. Matte Gold is elegant and clean with the perfect balance of richness and warmth. This premium finish adds the perfect touch of flair and top-quality elegance without overwhelming a space.
– 24K Gold Hammertone: This Gold Hammertone finish adds depth, contrast, and complexity to any private jet cabin. It also looks at home in professional spaces. If your aircraft interior design includes muted colors or smooth opaque finishes, then Gold Hammertone imparts a charming textural note for aircraft interior parts.
– 24K Gold Pearllite: Last but certainly not least is this shade of Gold Pearlite. With the ideal balance of luster and luminescence, it creates an ambiance of silky smooth grandeur. This is a magnificent choice for those who want to add a feminine touch to a masculine space. It also works well with either neutral palettes or bright colors.

One of the highlights of the year for our company was returning to the NBBA-BACE Conference in Las Vegas. After a one-year absence due to the pandemic, NBBA-BACE 2021 was held October 12-14 at the newly-renovated Las Vegas Convention Center.
Several members of our company traveled to Vegas to connect with customers that we haven’t seen in some time, as well as meet some new faces at HighTech Finishing booth #759 in the West Hall.
Our team included Carl Bartuch (CEO), Simon Haining (President), Amanda Taylor (National Sales Manager), Rick Niefield (VP of Sales & Marketing), Naomi Lockhart (Account Manager), and King Chan (Controller). This was Simon’s first NBBA event and Naomi’s last trip before she retires in January!
Because the industry is in an uptick due to increased demand for private aviation, there was tremendous interest in our plating and replating metal finishing options for aviation interior parts. Customers were particularly interested in our track record of exceptional lead times.
How We Support the Needs of Aviation Customers
During NBAA-BACE 2021, we connected with independent designers, refurbishment centers, charter companies, private jet owners (including a famous magician!), and executive-level management on the OEM side. The common need is fast turnarounds on plated parts.
Thanks to our industry-leading process for interior part plating we can meet the needs of each customer group by delivering plated parts on time to help beautify the aircraft interior. We appreciated the opportunity to tell this story to so many members of the aviation community that need reliable partners to support their tight deadlines in the post-COVID environment.
After holding a series of substantial meetings at our booth and at the booths of our customers, we walked away from Las Vegas with confidence that we can provide the appropriate solution for each customer.
Other Highlights from NBAA-BACE 2021
– We caught the eyes of aircraft interior designers with our selection of 130+ decorative plating finishes. Right now, the finishing trend is blacks and grays, particularly in matte finishes. We offer several unique combinations to satisfy this design trend.
– We drew interest in the newest finishes that we have added since the pandemic. There was particular interest in our new offering, “Light Satin Gray,” which fits with the design trend of emphasizing grays in aircraft interior design.
– We noticed there was an overall resurgence of interest in supersonic aircraft. This was one of the themes of NBBA-BACE 2021 emphasizing the opportunity for advanced aircraft capabilities to become more accessible. We are prepared to support the needs of supersonic aircraft manufacturers by plating the aircraft interior parts.
– Our luncheon was an absolute hit. We appreciate everyone that attended our mid-conference luncheon to take a break and enjoy some quality face-to-face time in the midst of a busy conference.
– Overall, our trip to Las Vegas was a success. We enjoyed seeing everyone back in action enjoying a little slice of normalcy post-pandemic. Our team is already looking forward to next year’s NBAA-BACE gathering in October 2022 in Orlando, Florida.
To get in touch with our team to follow up on NBBA-BACE 2021, contact us today to discuss a solution for your aircraft interior. We look forward to hearing from you!
