All cast plaques are manufactured with a background texture. When none is specified, leatherette will be used. In addition to the background textures shown, custom textures can be provided upon request. Depending on the texture, we would require either the actual textured material in an appropriate size, or black & white artwork.

All plaques exceeding 32" x 40" will have a seam in the background texture. (The plaque itself is not seamed, only the texture.) However, these seams are disguised during the production process by our craftsmen and are hardly visible on the final product. We do not provide plaques larger than 32" x 40" with pebbled texture.

Colors
The background of most cast plaques is painted to provide a pleasing contrast to the highlighted areas. Both cast bronze and aluminum plaques may be painted with standard or optional finishes pictured below. Custom-matched painted colors can also be provided. Additionally, natural chemical patinas and simulated painted patinas are available on bronze plaques.

Chemical Patina and Hand Rubbed Finishes (optional)
The patina finishes are created by applying chemicals and heat to the bronze surfaces. Once the desired color is achieved, the raised areas are highlighted and a clear protective coating is applied to inhibit further chemical reaction.

Helpful Hints

• We can match virtually any painted color from a sample provided or from a numerical color matching system (Pantone Matching System).
  

• Colors may vary slightly from batch to batch. In addition, background colors will change over time due to exposure to light and the environment.
  

• Chemical patina finishes will vary from piece to piece, and uniform colors over large surface areas cannot be controlled. The color may vary from the pictured swatches and the color will change over time on plaques installed outdoors.
