How Good Are Your Signs And Plaques In the Winter

janey freid2019-01-27T15:52:21-07:00January 21st, 2019|Atlas Posts (All), How we do it|

Calypso Address Numbers in Pewter - March 29, 2009, Lake Mills WI USA Atlas Signs and Plaques are Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to the suitability of LuminOre® and HDU for exterior applications. According to the LuminOre® manufacturer specs, the process has undergone ASTM testing equivalent to 30 years weatherization. Our experience with the product has been fantastic, both with client projects we have completed over the past years, and with our own informal testing in Wisconsin and Colorado. As an example, we sprayed a design on a piece of limestone and left it to the Wisconsin elements for four seasons of hot, wet, dry, and cold. The coated limestone has been left to fend for itself and has undergone countless freeze-thaw cycles. It has been left on the wet earth, rained on, baked, and left under salt-laden snow for months. We are amazed, but never surprised, when [...]

What Is The Difference Between Copper, Bronze, And Brass For Plaques

janey freid2019-01-27T15:57:44-07:00January 21st, 2019|Atlas Posts (All)|

Copper, Bronze and Brass Signs and Plaques All that glitters is not gold Shakespeare Proverbs more famous quotes It’s All About the Alloy Swirls On the Vertical Address Plaque - Copper Copper is the primary metal that makes up the alloys of bronze and brass. Copper itself is soft and easily hammered to shape. As we all know, copper in its fresh state has a pinkish coloration that surface corrodes quite rapidly showing blue, green, and/or brown oxidation. At Atlas Signs and Plaques, we induce this beautiful corrosion, which we call patina, to give our copper signs and plaques a bit (or a lot) of age and take away that “new penny” look. Copper was one of the earliest metals utilized and may have been used as early as 10,000 years ago in hammered tools and adornments. Not long after the art of extracting and [...]

What Else Can Be Transformed by the Metal Coating?

Transformed We thought some of the transformations from the common to the beautiful that we have accomplished would be an interesting photo essay. The Cold Spray Metal that Atlas Signs & Plaques uses is manufactured by LuminOre®. Using this fantastic process allows us to apply real metal to almost any substrate imaginable. Here are a few of the more unusual and interesting projects that we have done in our past. Driftwood Sculpture - From Wood to "Are Those Solid Cast"? Driftwood Metal Coated After receiving 8 real Florida driftwood sculptures from artist, Carol Woodland at All Driftwood Furniture, they were unpacked, primed, and coated with real bronze. The patinator (Janey) then did their magic, adding a measure of depth, highlights, and interest to these, most unusual art pieces. The art now resides in the Westye Group’s Manhattan Showroom featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf quality appliances. Elevator Doors [...]

How Atlas Signs and Plaques Makes Our Ornaments

janey freid2019-01-29T12:12:13-07:00October 30th, 2018|Atlas Posts (All)|

Our ornaments are handmade by our team, just like the signs here at Atlas Signs And Plaques. Handcrafted one by one. We take great pride in our work and we would enjoy briefly sharing how our ornaments are made. To start, after we metal coat the signs we take the excess metal coating and pore it into a custom silicon mold, uniquely designed by us. Due to the fact that we do not waste our materials and only use remaining metals, each ornament is individually layered and therefore is a rare beauty. The beginning stages of the ornaments, fresh out of the mold. Once the metals dry and fuse together, they are taken to the abrasive blast cabinet to remove all impurities, before being moved to our transformation room. In the transformation room is where the real magic happens. The ornaments are sprayed with our special patina formulas [...]
