| Scratch Engraved Brass
Brass is the traditional material used for memorial plaques. The main disadvantage is that if you want it to stay bright and shiny you will need to keep polishing it! For small plaque with small letters, scratch engraving is often used. Minimum letter size 5mm

Deep Engraved Brass
With deep engraving the letters can be paint filled if required. They cannot be engraved as small as the scratch engraved, but are much easier to read. For all our brass plaques we only use the highest quality CZ120 engravers brass. Minimum letter size 10mm

| Black Anodised Aluminium
A great material for memorial plaques. They look good and are maintenance free. The lettering can also be quite small as it is engraved through the black surface to show the silver/white beneath. Can be supplied on backing boards. Minimum letter size 2mm

This acrylic laminate is 1.5mm thick so not as robust as our standard 3mm engraved laminate. However we can engrave the small text and very detailed images.

Laser Engraved Stainless Steel
With these tough, maintenance free stainless steel plates the lettering is not actually engraved into the metal. This has an advantage in that the lettering can be smaller and images can be far more detailed. Even a good photos can be used. Although not engraved into the metal, the lettering is permanent and as tough as the metal beneath.
Minimum letter size 2mm.

Stone Effect Corian
Corian is made from natural minerals an acrylic resin. The mineral content gives it has similar properties to real stone - the weight, cold feel and matt finish.It is however stronger and is much more consistent - no faults or cracks. We are able to engrave much smaller lettering (5mm) into corian than is possible with real stone.

Cast Aluminium
When making the pattern we have plenty of scope to vary lettering, images and layout if you have something particular in mind. Once the pattern is made our skilled craftsmen cast the plaque using methods which date back to the Bronze Age.

Slate
Slate is another very traditional material. We can sandblast letters as small as 15mm if left unpainted. An interesting variation is to sandblast the background away to leave the lettering proud. Minimum letter size for this technique is 25mm.
