Floating Plaques — Why are they called that?

A floating plaque features a sheet of acrylic that is engraved or printed with your custom artwork. Instead of being mounted directly to the plaque board, the acrylic is attached using special stand-off hardware in each corner.

This creates a gap between the acrylic and the plaque backing, giving the appearance that the acrylic is “floating” above the plaque.

The result? A modern, professional look that adds depth, dimension, and a premium feel to any recognition piece. Perfect for employee awards, donor recognition, corporate achievements, and commemorative displays.

Showcased today are two sign projects we recently completed.

One is a chemically etched stainless steel sign with the lettering color filled in with black. The other is a tooled plaque. Two completely different looks but both going on a monument outside that will withstand our local seasons!

Recognition Avenue work out in the social media wild! How incredible Rae Overby and Ben Wagele for saving a man’s life! Absolutely well deserved Life Saving Award recipients.

Two University High School students, Rae Overby and Ben Wagele, were quick to use their newly learned CPR training to save a man’s life after pulling him from a hotel pool. Fire Captain Ben Riddle said, “These kids, jumping into action, absolutely saved this person’s life.” Read more about their heroic actions here: https://www.khq.com/news/4-spokane-valley-teens-among-group-honored-for-saving-mans-life/article_a1c2fa33-d2ae-42fe-9c80-c4d23465e568.html
