Sand Cast Bronze Plaques
Sand cast bronze plaques are a traditional material for memorials and
commemorative markers.
The plaque at left is 17" wide by 25" high. It weighs 55 lbs. The artwork
was adapted from a photograph by one of our artists. It's a stunning piece
of art in its final installation.
Plaques are typically between 3/8 to 7/16 inch thick. Because we use
computerized type setting, your plaque can be made using thousands of
different type faces limited only by the accuracy of the sand molding
process. You can incorporate two dimensional black and white art. In
addition, bas-relief busts and other sculptural artwork can be added to
plaques.
To calculate the estimated weight in pounds of your bronze plaque, figure
the area in square inches (length times width). Multiply the area times
0.1238. This is the weight in pounds.
Our bronze plaques are normally made in silicon bronze (UNS C87500)
unless you specify otherwise. Plaques can also be made in aluminum for
weight and cost savings.
