Magnesium Plaques
Magnesium plaques are lightweight and acid-etched―perfect for detailed artwork. They are recommended exclusively for use indoors in climate-controlled environments.
Installation in high-humidity spaces like locker rooms or swimming pools is not recommended. Warranty will be voided if magnesium is installed in such an environment.
