Cast bronze and aluminum plaques offer a timeless beauty. Over time, even with regular cleaning, bronze will “patina” or turn a greenish color. This is part of the natural oxidizing process that occurs in the metal. While many customers love the natural beauty of the patina green, others like the look of a newly finished plaque. Cast aluminum plaques will also corrode over time, losing the original finish. For those who prefer the factory finish for cast bronze or aluminum plaques, we offer restoration services.

Customers often think they need to purchase a new plaque to replace the deteriorated piece they currently have. Shipping the plaque to Franklin Bronze Plaques saves time and money. We will take your piece back to raw metal and finish it as if it were a new casting going through the process for the first time.

Restoring the beauty of the original plaque is often the preferred method over replacing the original casting. If you are considering restoring a plaque, please forward clear color photos with detailed size information to sales@franklinbronzeplaques.com. Estimates are based on the overall size of the plaque and the level of detail involved (graphics, special borders, etc.).
