Helpful Hints

  • Bronze plaques are the choice for interior as well as exterior applications. Although the finish of bronze will naturally patina over time, the material itself will not deteriorate. Objects made from bronze have been found submerged in seawater for over 3000 years still in excellent condition.

  • The weight of a bronze plaque may be roughly estimated by calculating the plaque's volume in inches (height x width x depth) x .31. For most smaller plaques (under 36" x 30") allow .25" as the approximate depth. Use .375" for plaques over 36" x 30".

    Example: For a 36" x 24" plaque calculate 36" x 24" x .25" = 216 cu. inches x .31 = 66.96. The plaque's estimated weight would be 67 lbs.

We hope this site provides the information you need to purchase bronze plaques for your personal, corporate and government requirements.  While less expensive, etched items will realistically last 3-4 years before starting to show their age. Cast bronze plaques are designed to last a lifetime while maintaining their elegant looks. Each of the sections on this site shows different aspects of these fine products.
