Each material offers a different look, feel, and level of durability. Here’s a simple guide to help you decide:
Granite
A popular and timeless choice. Extremely durable, available in a wide range of colours, and suitable for both traditional and modern designs. Ideal for long-term outdoor use.
Permanite
Often used for photo plaques. Provides a smooth, high-gloss finish and is well-suited for detailed images. Designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
Bronze
A classic, traditional material with a warm, dignified appearance. Highly durable and commonly used for plaques and memorial markers.
Stainless Steel
A modern option with a clean, contemporary look. Strong, corrosion-resistant, and well-suited to coastal or harsh environments.
Chrome Plate
Offers a bright, reflective finish for a more polished, modern appearance. Best suited for sheltered or less exposed areas.
