When having a plaque made, there are a myriad of materials that you could choose from. Some of the popular options include stainless steel, cast aluminum and cast bronze. However, it should be noted that your choice of material would affect a number of things including where you would like the plaque installed, the customization options available to you as well as the longevity of the plaque. Here are some of the reasons why you should opt for cast bronze material for your plaque.

Cast bronze has a long shelf life

One of the greatest advantages of cast bronze is its durability. This material is made from both copper and tin, thus making it a sturdy alloy. Due to its inherent strength, it is less likely to acquire damage in the form of chips and cracks, which makes for a durable plaque. Additionally, it does not require much maintenance to ensure it stay pristine and aesthetically appealing. Thus, making it a good option that are looking for plaques that are not high maintenance.

Cast bronze has numerous mounting options

The inherent properties of bronze make it suitable for a range of applications when compared to other materials. Generally, the most common type of plaque is that designed to be hung on a wall. If you prefer to have it hung, you have the flexibility to choose from an array of rosettes that come in a myriad of sizes, shapes and style all working toward hiding the mounting holes and screws from direct view. Cast bronze also gives you the chance to opt for outdoor installation of your plaque as it can withstand erratic weather changes without its structural integrity becoming compromised.

With cast bronze, you even have the option of designing your plaque to be installed in flooring as an inset. Since the cast bronze can withstand high impact, you do not have to worry about high foot traffic affecting the overall appearance of your plaque.

Cast bronze comes in an array of customization options

Another benefit of cast bronze is that you are not limited when it comes to the customization of your plaque. The material may be strong and sturdy, but it is also malleable enough to accommodate customization such as texturing, edging, pictures and more. Additionally, when it comes to the background you can chose an array of textures including pebbled, leatherette, sculptured and travertine. This ensures you have versatility when it comes to the design as well as the overall aesthetic appeal of your cast bronze plaque.
