The Advantages of Bronze Plaques

From this blog we recommend having bronze plaques. Feel free to call one of our professional team members at 0151 486 2821.

In this blog we will be explaining the real benefits of using bronze plaques. Bronze has been used for many centuries now to create signs, plaques, statues and many more. Recently we have seen a rise in bronze become a trend for home interior. We at Photocast are so proud we have used custom bronze plaques in the past for the  Queen’s Jubilee which was an honour to be chosen to do this, not only that we also took part in The Olympics and made our mark.

What makes bronze? Alloys of copper and added metals give additional qualities and we are now going to explain the benefits of bronze.

1.Durability

Bronze is a perfect material as it can survive through harsh weather, so it’s great to use bronze outside. From the Bronze Age, bronze was typically used as armour because of how strong it was as a material. Bronze takes a great effort to break or damage. At Photocast we use aluminium to further increase durability.

2. Ages Gracefully

Bronze will keep its original appearance for plenty of years. One of the key elements into creating a plaque is to make sure it can last a very long time which bronze does, added to this bronze is completely immune to corrosion and will have no problem with harsh conditions.

3. Aesthetically Beautiful

Bronze gives off a classy look and will create elegance especially indoors and next to entrances outside. For a plaque to stand out we recommend bronze because it can be made with different colours to stand out.

4.  Customise With Bronze

In addition to the great features mentioned so far, when using bronze we can create a custom bronze plaque, this plaque can be created, shaped and coloured however you like it to be. This will look great for businesses, loved ones or even a project of yours.

5. Not high priced, Quality Material

Don’t let the classy look of bronze let you think it will be stupidly overpriced. In comparison to gold and silver it’s inexpensive. For a very affordable material it won’t lack in quality.

Photocast creates commemorative plaque for National Football Museum

A bronze dedication plaque for the Walk of Fame

Denis Law, legendary Manchester United player, has been inducted into the National Football Museum Walk of Fame and honoured with the addition of a commemorative plaque bearing his name. Together with four other iconic figures from footballing history, Denis was welcomed into football’s equivalent of the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier this month.

Photocast’s commemorative plaques gain new fame

Much like the Hollywood equivalent, Manchester’s walk of fame honours its stars with outdoor bronze plaques. Alfredo Di Stefano, Eusebio, Jimmy Greaves, and Paolo Maldini, are the latest players to have been commemorated by the addition of a bronze dedicated plaque to the site in Cathedral Gardens.

The outdoor bronze plaques, developed by Photocast on commission from the National Football Museum, now offer visitors the opportunity remember highlights from the careers of these five seminal players.

Denis Law on receipt of his new commemorative plaque

Denis Law, who was in attendance at the ceremony to unveil his new commemorative plaque, offered his thoughts on joining the prestigious group of footballers on the Walk of Fame. Denis said:

“I think it is lovely, absolutely lovely. Probably, more than anything, of the five people who have been rewarded today, one of them is my favourite player of all time in Alfredo Di Stefano.

“The second one was Jimmy Greaves, who was my favourite goalscorer of all time, so to be among those two people, and of course Eusebio and Maldini, cannot be any better.”

Legendary sports artist Paul Trevillion, whose illustrations will be familiar to football fans thanks to comic book Roy of The Rovers, created the portraits used by Photocast to create the commemorative plaques that now adorn the Walk of Fame.

Viewing the bronze dedication plaques on the Walk of Fame

The Football Walk of Fame is free to view and offers a permanent fixture in tribute to the global icons of international football. Football fans can stroll through Cathedral Gardens, just off Deansgate in Manchester city centre, at any time to take a look at the Walk of Fame, adjacent to the National Football Museum itself
