How Your Bronze Plaque Is Designed And Made.

If you want traditional commemorative or memorial foundry cast bronze plaques, we supply to the public and businesses Worldwide. Following this article you'll discover how your plaque is designed and manufactured.

The artwork we need to make your bronze plaque.

We can work from either hand drawn or computer generated artwork. If you want a traditional plaque then we will handcraft our pattern work. If you want a perfect reproduction then we will produce our pattern work from computer generated vector graphic artwork.

Have a picture or logo on your plaque.

You can have a picture or logo reproduced in 3D bas-relief for your plaque. This can be handcrafted or computer generated.

Lettering fonts, sizes and formatting.

You can have any typeface that you like on your plaque rather than being limited to just the usual Times New Roman or Arial fonts. We may recommend changing the size and formatting of your text or the back plate dimensions to ensure that the plaque will cast.

This artwork is a preview of the cast bronze. This gives you a good idea of how your finished plaque will look.

Preview how your plaque looks before it's made.

You can see what your plaque looks like with our 3D computer pre-casting proof. You can check for spelling, readability, fonts and layout before your plaque is finally cast in bronze.

The plaque casting process.

We use traditional sand casting to produce your plaque. Molten bronze is poured into a mould made of sand or ceramic. When the metal has cooled and hardened we remove the casting, fettle and finish.

Finishing your plaque

We can polish the raised areas of your plaque to a high gloss or satin finish. We can patinate your plaque in a variety of colours. We can give you the traditional brown or green colours but also blues, reds and black.

We can paint your plaque any colour that you specify. The background is metal primed and then hand painted in a satin or gloss signwriters' enamel paint.

To preserve your plaque from air and water corrosion we will give it a varnish protective coating.

Fixing your plaque.

Your plaque can be fixed with either screw holes on the back plate that take hidden screws or we can fix pegs on the reverse of the plate to allow you to cement it into place.

Ordering And Delivery.

Our delivery times are normally 28 days from the order date. We can arrange for the delivery of your plaque Worldwide.
