Custom Bench Plaques

Description

Our custom bench plaques are made from solid brass or bronze and designed for clean, long-lasting installation on memorial benches, garden benches, park benches, retirement home seating areas, and donated benches.

Each plaque is relief engraved, meaning the background is machined away so the lettering, border, and artwork remain raised above the contrasting matte surface. This gives the plaque a traditional, dimensional appearance that is more refined than simple surface engraving.

Bench plaques are available in solid brass or solid bronze. Brass is a classic option for indoor or sheltered outdoor use, while bronze is recommended for long-term outdoor installations where the plaque will be exposed to weather. Bronze offers the strongest weather resistance and develops a more even, traditional patina over time.

For outdoor bronze plaques, we offer architectural bronze for a classic golden-bronze appearance, or premium red bronze for a warmer, richer tone that develops a beautiful traditional patina as it ages.

All plaques are finished with a light protective clear coat to help preserve the appearance of the metal and provide added protection.

Material Options

Architectural Bronze

A durable outdoor material with a classic golden-bronze tone. This is a strong choice for memorial benches, park benches, retirement homes, and long-term outdoor installations.

Premium Red Bronze

A richer, warmer bronze with a deeper tone. Red bronze is ideal when you want a more traditional memorial appearance and a plaque that will develop a beautiful patina over time.
