Our Metalphoto memorial plaques offer a unique way to preserve memories with exceptional clarity and durability. Using a specialised photographic anodising process, images, text, and designs are permanently embedded into the surface of anodised aluminium. The result is a crisp, high-resolution black-and-white finish that will not fade, peel, or scratch.
Ideal for memorial plaques with colour, benches, gardens, columbariums, and commemorative walls, Metalphoto plaques are built to withstand the harshest outdoor environments, including UV exposure, moisture, and abrasion. This makes them a reliable choice for lasting tributes where both detail and resilience matter.
MetalPhoto outdoor life expectancy: 25 Years, depending on the environment.
Metalphoto’s durability comes from its archival image sealed within anodised aluminium, offering superior resistance to sunlight, saltwater, high temperatures, and harsh chemicals. A US Navy study of 73 materials found that it achieved the highest score on more tests than any other material.
