FINISH: Brushed aluminum.
Plaque faces are
stroke-sanded with baked enamel background before being clear coated and oven
baked with a two part hardened acrylic polyurethane. Generally, these are used
for memorials, dedication plaques, or signage. This finish is not recommended
for coastal areas. Raised copy and border is in brushed aluminum. If you want a
bronze-like gold color, please send an email to [email protected] for a
quote.
SIZE
If you already know
the size of plaque you want, simply select that size. If you haven't decided on
a size, a general guideline is:
Count the
number of letters and spaces and divide by 4. This will give you a typical
plaque size in square inches. For example, 400 letters and spaces divided by 4
is 100 square inches. So a 10" x 10" plaque would work. We offer
custom sizes as well.
TEXT: (See Memorial Text Suggestions or our other plaques for text
ideas.)
A maximum of 1200 characters can be placed on the Standard
Aluminum plaque.
LETTERING STYLE: Fonts
Several
font styles are available. See Details tab for samples.
The minimum letter size is 1/4" if the text is in ALL CAPS or
3/8" size if the text is in Upper and lower case. The larger the plaque,
the larger the letters. The minimum size ensures that your plaque will be
legible.
BORDERS: Border Styles
MOUNTING: Mounting
Information
There are
several options for displaying your plaque. Custom aluminum plaques can
be mounted on a wall or flat surface or they can be mounted on a stake or post.
(Although the link shows Bronze method, the same applies to custom aluminum.)
ROSETTES: See Details for samples
Rosettes
are decorative covers used to conceal the screw head in each corner. These can
be used with Type B, Type C and Type D mounting. (Although the link shows
Bronze method, the same applies to custom aluminum.)
ARTWORK: Free Artwork Available
Depending upon the space remaining on the plaque after the
text is entered, a graphic can be added. After you place the order and
send the text, we will be able to tell you if the graphic will fit. Due to the
amount of work involved, artwork is $24 if the order is cancelled after proof
is received. Custom artwork (such as logos) is available as a separate
product.
