Metal Cast Bronze and Aluminum Plaques

Quality forged symbols of distinction and stability.

The primary function of a cast plaque is to identify, dedicate, commemorate, or recognize people, events, places or deeds.

Cast Bronze is a very durable method of producing memorial markers. The process of casting has been around for thousands of years. The letters and/or artwork are raised with the background recessed approximately ¼".

Cast Aluminum has the same characteristics as bronze except bronze has the bronze color and the aluminum plaques are a dull silver color. Cast Aluminum, although very durable, is not as hard as bronze. Cast Aluminum is generally only used if the silver color is desired to match a decor, or the plaque is very large and cost is a consideration.

Cast bronze and aluminum provide the versatility to accommodate each of these functions more professionally and with more dignity than any other medium.

	One of the advantages of cast bronze is the ability to replicate 3-D images with our bas-relief process. This hand crafted piece is hanging in the Major Leagues Baseball's Hall of Fame in New York.

	Cast Bronze is an excellent choice for large donor walls. This wall was produced for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
