Large Plaques (5 ft to 8 ft in diameter)
We make large wall plaques 5 to 8 ft in diameter. The widest sheets of HDU are 5 ft wide, and our CNC routers can only carve HDU sheets of 5 ft or less. Therefore plaques greater than 5 ft diameter require two pieces of HDU to be carved and the bonded together. These large wall plaques almost always have internal steel rectangular hollow tubes (typically 1" or 1.5" wide) embedded in the HDU to hold the two pieces of HDU together so that no seam shows. Threaded studs that are inserted in holes drilled in the wall are usually welded to this frame so that these plaques, which weigh several hundred pounds, can be properly supported. Although most of signs are made from High Density Urethane (HDU), it is not light, weighing 20 lb/ft3, slightly lighter than Cedar wood.
This plaques are painted by our artists with 1-Shot and Matthews sign enamels, or they can be plated with bronze, brass or aluminum metals, and then clear-coated twice with clear polyurethane acrylic . They can also be gilded with 24K gold leaf or pure silver leaf and then clear-coated.
The price for plaques for various sizes is given on the PRICE webpage (click here or on PRICE in gold masthead).
