Background Textures
All of our Cast Bronze Plaques are finished with a Texture on the surface of the metal. If no texture is specified with your order, “Leatherette” will be applied.
Borders
You may choose the type of border you would like. The most common border is the Single Line border.
Colors
Each plaque is hand PATINATED (color) and may vary. The above images are for representational purposes only.
Mounting Methods
Below is the description of each mounting method we offer. Also, the most common mounting method is Boss and Stud.
Boss and Stud:
Bosses (extra pads) are cast onto the back of the plaque. These are drilled and tapped to accept a threaded stud. Flat-backed plates (generally, smaller sizes) are drilled & tapped for studs without bosses on the back.
Toggle Bolts:
Holes are drilled through the face of the plaque for toggle bolts. They are threaded machine screws 4″ to 6″ long with spring-loaded butterflies that fold up and pass through holes in the wall. Rosettes are optional.
Wood Screws:
Holes are drilled through the plaque and countersunk to accept a flathead wood screw. Larger-sized wood screws, #14 or #16, have the heads drilled and tapped to accept a rosette cover.
