Trigard was commissioned by NASCAR to create cutting-edge tributes for the new inductees to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

The plaques our team created include photo-realistic images, biographies and driver signatures, all meticulously crafted of stainless steel and mounted inside 7 ft. tall spires.

Each spire is fabricated and hand finished to showcase the achievements of the inductee it depicts.

The induction ceremony for the hall of fame is set for this Friday, January 20. You can watch the ceremony Sunday, January 22 at 6 PM EST on the SPEED Channel.

Be sure to tune in and admire the hard work our team has put in over the past few months.

Investing in a brighter future

Pallets of old lights are staged for recycling at our facility.

New energy efficient lights hang in their place.

The future is looking brighter, literally, at our facility.

Last week we replaced our old, power-thirsty mercury-vapor light fixtures with new energy efficient ones.

Over the next few months we will be replacing the lights at the rest of our locations.

The switch has already made a positive difference for our employees, and over time you will likely see a difference too, as the switch is part of an effort to lower our energy consumption and ultimately our overhead cost.

Good Photos vs. Bad Photos

noreply@blogger.com (Trigard Bronze Memorials, Plaques & Signs) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:23:00 +0000

At Trigard Engraved Bronze we pride ourselves in producing an exact replica of any photograph into an engraved bronze product. This exact replication can result in the finest of bronze products if the photograph that we receive is of high quality. Likewise if the image quality is poor, it will result in a poor quality bronze product.
Our preferred file format to save a scanned photo is a .TIF or .TIFF file. This enables us to receive the most detail because the way the software saves all the detail in the photograph. When a photograph is saved as a .JPG image, much of the fine detail gets lost. This is not to say that we cannot produce a product from a .JPG file, but it will result in a final product that is not of the finest quality.
We also would like to have the files saved with a resolution of at least 200dpi. DPI stands for dots per inch, and if you look closely at a photograph it is made of thousands and thousands of tiny dots. The more dots per inch, the higher the quality of the image will be. 300dpi is even better, but may result in a file that is too large to e-mail. We thank you for the opportunity to allow our staff to produce the ultimate in 3-D relief imaging.

Cast Bronze vs. Trigard Bronze

noreply@blogger.com (Trigard Bronze Memorials, Plaques & Signs) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:44:00 +0000

Trigard does not cast its bronze memorials, allowing them to achieve quality that is second to none. The age old cast process is very porous, casting the dark oxide to be retained in the pores of the surface and enabling a much more grainy effect. Trigard utilizes sheets of tempered bronze that have been tested to be three times stronger than cast bronze.
