What To Know When Managing Memorial Bronze Plaques

The installation of a bronze stone is regarded one of the more popular choices for a memorial delivering heightened durability and aesthetic results. The headstone should be combined with a base of marble or granite and delivers greater levels of durability for the long term. Maintenance can be implemented for bronze plaques with cleaning methods that aim to deliver the best possible outcome.

There are multiple layers that cover the metal including a solid coat that will minimize the possibility of deterioration when exposed to the elements. With time, the protective coat will begin to wear away and should be maintained to ensure that the raw metal does not become damaged. The cemetery may provide regular maintenance.

A mixture including a watery base can be developed in order to clean the plaque. The purpose is to remove excess debris and to develop a solution consisting of ivory soap and water. A hard scrubbing brush can be used to clear the plaque of all dirt, sand, and waste that may have accumulated.

The scrubbed surface can be cleaned with water and excess particles eliminated. A solution of distilled water is needed to eliminate chemicals and prevent against the possible of a reaction. A soft cloth should be applied to the area to aid in the removal of moisture and to eliminate the soap from the surface areas.

A number of methods are available to aid in achieving aesthetically pleasing results. Wax may be applied to the surface of the metal to assist in protecting the structure. This will ensure that the metal does not become tarnished and will not deteriorate with exposure to harsh weather conditions.

A bronze plaque is certainly one of the most beautiful designs as a memorial. If any deterioration is detected, it should be addressed with wax and a thorough polish to prevent further deterioration and unattractive results. With the right type of care, it is possible to maintain the appeal and form of these stones.
