Facts To Know When Maintaining Memorial Bronze Plaques

The erection of a bronze memorial stone is becoming a favorable option at cemeteries as it delivers exceptional durability and aesthetically pleasing designs. A headstone is often secured with a granite or a marble base because of its durability. To ensure that its shine and form are maintained, there are a number of routine cleaning procedures that should be applied to bronze plaques to deliver the best possible results.

The metal consists of a number of layers including a solid protective coat that can prevent against significant deterioration when exposed to the external climate. Over time, the coating may wear down and requires regular maintenance to minimize the possibility of exposing the raw metal. Cemeteries often include maintenance services that should be determined or steps for care need to be put in place.

A plaque can be maintained by developing a water based mixture. The aim is to create a solution with a small amount of ivory soap in a medium sized bucket of water. A scrubbing brush can be used to eliminate the dirt and the dust that have accumulated on the surface areas.

Once you have scrubbed the surface, rinse with clear water and remove any particles that remain on the metal. It is a good idea to apply distilled water to the surface as this will prevent against chemicals settling on the plaque. A clean and dry cloth should be used to remove the excess moisture and soap solution from the surface.

If you wish to achieve that beautiful shine, a cloth can be used for buffering. This step should only be performed one the area is completely dry and may be enhanced with a quality wax developed for use with metals. This will not only deliver the breathtaking shine, but also protect the surface from further damage.

The bronze plaque is a popular choice as it delivers aesthetically pleasing results. Detecting the possibility of deterioration can aid in acting quickly and should be polished with the use of a quality wax. The right steps for care can be applied ensuring the regular maintenance of stones.
