We manufacture all plaques ourselves and offer traditional solid brass, stainless steel or a very durable brass effect acrylic laminate that is UV stable. The acrylic laminate has a life expectancy of 25 years minimum and will not tarnish - we usually engrave on the reverse surface giving a completely smooth exterior surface which will then not collect dirt. We secure this plaque using screws and epoxy resin.
Our standard stainless steel and bonze plaques measure 150 x 50mm.
Brass and acrylic laminate blanks are held in the 150 x 50mm size but we can make to other sizes- we select a size that best suits the amount of script required as well as the size and design of bench.
All script is finished in black unless otherwise requested.
Please be aware that brass and bronze plaques will tarnish.
All plaques are fitted into a machined recess and held in place with screws or stainless steel pins.
Sometimes a combination of carved inscription and plaque is best, particularly if a long sentiment is required.
We are also happy to fit a plaque supplied by yourself (charge of £ 20 if fitted into machined recess).
If the plaque is carrying a sentiment or acknowledgement that is secondary to the main carved inscription, then this is often best placed centrally on the front lower rail (the longitudinal rail under the knees when seated) - this leaves the main inscription uncluttered.
Please ensure that all aspects of the engraving are correct when ordering a plaque - this is particularly important if you are handling the affair on behalf of another party.
Plaques are priced from £ 45 inc machining of the bench and fitment.
