Process
Prestigious, traditional and impressive, nothing beats the look of a solid brass plaque. Deeply engraved, highly polished…the ultimate statement of quality and status.
Brass Plaques and Signs
For a prestigious look that fits into traditional settings and communicates superior quality, Brass wall signs is the ultimate product.
Brass plaques and signs are crafted from a strong, long-lasting metal that delivers a brilliant shine when polished. Whether fitted indoors or outdoors, engraved brass plaques offer durability and can remain in excellent condition for many years.
Common Uses of Solid Brass Plaques
Solid brass plaques and signs are often used to honour achievements, show respect, and present professional details clearly. They are a popular choice for doctors, lawyers, consultants, and other professionals for office doors and wall displays. Many people also choose brass for trophies, memorial nameplates, and commemorative items because the material looks elegant and creates a standout finish.
Custom Engraving and Care Instructions
At Impact Signs, we engrave each Brass plaque and sign with your chosen font or logo. We can also apply colour-infilled lettering to align with your branding and create a smooth, personalised look. Every brass plaque includes domed screws for easy fixing to wooden surfaces, and if you need a wooden backing plinth, we can create one to your preferred size and style.
To maintain the appearance of your brass plaque, clean it regularly with a soft cloth and methylated spirits. Outdoor brass plaques benefit from weekly cleaning, while indoor plaques usually need attention once a month. Brass won’t corrode, but it can tarnish over time. A gentle polish with a quality cleaner like Brasso will restore the shine and keep it looking fresh.
Advantages of Choosing Brass for Your Signage
Brass plaques and signs offer several useful advantages, which is why they remain a popular option for professional signs and commemorative pieces.
Durability: Brass stands up well to weather and daily use. It handles indoor and outdoor environments easily. While it does not rust, it can dull over time, so routine polishing helps keep it bright.
Aesthetic appeal: The warm, golden colour of brass creates a premium look. When polished, it reflects light beautifully, making it ideal for plaques used for recognition, remembrance, or formal display.
Design flexibility: Brass supports detailed engraving, allowing names, text, artwork, and logos to be reproduced with precision. This makes it suitable for professional signs, house plates, memorial plaques, and many more uses.
Longevity: Brass wall signs remain in great condition for decades, making them a reliable choice for permanent installations such as memorials, historical markers, and official signage.

Maintenance & Tech
Care of your Solid Brass Plaque
Congratulations. You have chosen the ultimate in prestige. However to keep your solid brass plaque looking good, you will need to follow the instructions below.
- For light soiling or tarnishing, wipe with methylated spirits Take care that the cloth does not have any grit attached, as this may scratch the plaque. Also ensure that you do not wipe the wooden plinth (if supplied) as this may remove some colour
- For heavy soiling or tarnishing polish with a proprietary cleaner, such as Brasso, again, Take care that the cloth does not have any grit attached, as this may scratch the plaque. Also ensure that you do not wipe the wooden plinth (if supplied) as this may remove some colour.
- This plaque is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Conditions may vary, but in general indoor plaques should be cleaned once a month and outdoor plaques should be cleaned and polished every week.
- If you notice a build up of polish in the text (or graphic), the best way to clean this is to use a soft cloth, or in the case of small intricate text an old toothbrush is ideal, but brush gently.
Fitting instructions for engraved plaques mounted onto wooden plinths
Impact Signs normally supply your engraved plaque ready fitted to your wooden plinth complete with domed screw caps.
- Remove domes – simply unscrew by hand. We do not screw them tightly, however if they are too tight, wearing rubber gloves for extra grip will help enormously.
- Remove screws with a flathead screwdriver and lift plaque away from wooden plinth.
- You will now see the pre-drilled fixing holes on the wooden plinth. Use the plinth as a template and mark drilling points on the wall. Drill and insert raw plugs. Hold the plaque against the wall, line up with the raw plugs and screw firmly to the wall.
- Now hold the engraved plaque against the wooden plinth. Line up the holes and screw firmly to the plinth.
- Finally, replace the domed caps, hand tight, no tools required.
