Crests and logos enhance the appearance of all our designs of cast iron ended seat and bench as well as making the items more individual
and identifiable. The two types of cast plaques we offer are a traditional way of | |
personalising cast iron items and are robust an durable options.
All of our cast iron ended seats and benches have a 130mm diameter plaque space available in each end frame.

Cast
Plaques
|
Cast plaques are the traditional way of personalising cast iron items and are
a robust and durable option. Two costs are incurred when specifying crests and
logos using this method: the cost of manufacturing pattern work, and the cost
of highlighting the castings by hand. | | of
the design, but once commissioned, can be used for any number of seats at no further
cost, at any time in the future. We recommend the use of simple logos as these
have the greatest visual impact, as well as being the least expensive. The cast
plaques are either securely welded, or cast into the end frames.

| Pattern
work. All of our cast iron ended seats and benches have a 130mm diameter plaque
space available in each end frame. The current year can be cast in using our existing
pattern work at no extra charge. In addition to this option, a pattern can be
made for alternative dates, or for customers' own crests or logos. The cost of
the pattern depends upon the complexity | | Highlighting.
After the castings are painted the logos can be highlighted by hand in gold, silver
or any B.S. or RAL colour at additional cost. Simple logos highlighted in one
colour are inexpensive: complex crests in several colours can take much longer
for our skilled craftsmen to do and so cost considerably more.

Etched
Plaques
|
In addition to having traditional pattern work made for crests and logos, we also
offer the option of etched plaques. The 130mm zinc plates are created from computer
scanned artwork, and are fixed with adhesive and rivets onto the blank plate cast
or welded into the plaque space, in each end frame. Much more intricate detail
is possible with this option. There is a setting up charge for the design work,
and then a standard | | charge
is made for each plate. If small numbers of seats are required with plaques, this
option can be less expensive than the traditional cast plaque method of having
a pattern made, and each casting highlighted by hand. Additionally, the costs
remain the same however complex the design is. Etched plaques are ultimately not
as robust as cast plaques, and are not suitable for sea fronts. |
