The additional cost of creating and finishing these ornamental designs is worth considering to give your plaque that distinctive look.
Our creative bronze memorial plaques and headstones have been developed with four alternative background textures or floors for you to choose from giving enhanced or distinctive looks.
Sand |
The standard Sand texture background or floor behind the lettering is the finish that is naturally produced when the moulding sand that contains the casting is formed against a flat board. Most plaques are produced with this background. |
Stipple |
This background is the second most popular background chosen by our clients and has the effect of a wet painted surface that has been dabbed repeatedly with a brush to produce the stipple effect. |
Leatherette |
This background has a cast surface that simulates the look of leather behind the letters. |

Prior to Highlighting the letters the background is painted with a colour which assists in providing a contrast with the highlighted letters to make them stand out more.
We offer your option of two standard colours:
The standard and most popular colour is bronze/brown.
The second most popular background is black. Black provides the best look for aluminium plaques.
Brown or black options are at no extra cost but if you wish to have the plaque finished in a different colour please call +64 9 828 9668 or Email Us and we will quote this price option.
