I have a particular customer who is looking for a 3.5'x8' cast sign (yes these are feet) . Does anyone have a vendor, whom they would recommend, to do cast signs this large? The foundries we currently use can only accommodate 24"x36" or 32"x32" .  Thanks in advance!!

Gemini can cast up to 96" with a max of 5760 sq inches so 60" x 96"

I'm sure Matthews can do it.

If your customer can cut down to 7 feet you could use Gemini tooled bronze and save a ton over cast

Hi Megan,  I am curious if you do the installations for bronze plaques like this in-house or source it out to a local contractor or sign company with whom you have a relationship?

We always leave the install up to the customer because we don't have a contractors license, and in the state of CA, we don't want to even jump into that mess :-) Our customer is made aware of that from the get-go.

We've had Matthews do large signs, what they do is weld them together and they look very good.

Gemini may also be able to do it for you.

Megan,

Call Matthews 800-395-1317.  They can handle the project for you.  Also, for installation, work with reputable commercial contractor.

Good luck and see you in a few weeks.
