Even small details can make a significant impact for your home. From unique decorative house numbers to adorable garden signs, interesting little touches can make a statement.
A company and a valued partner that is doing just that is Alchemy of Mississauga, which has a patent pending technology that combines metals with high density urethane to produce striking signage at affordable prices, a process it calls FusionCast. Metal signage makes a strong statement about your home. It is sophisticated and enduring. But, with the increasing price of base metals over the past number of years, the cost of bronze, aluminum and copper signage has risen. So Alchemy’s challenge was to develop a technology which provides metal signage more economically. It successfully did so two years ago with the introduction of FusionCast technology. The result is a product with metal at the dimensional surface or face of the sign with urethane in the body and back of the sign, areas where metal is not necessary. It offers the durability and appearance of bronze, copper, or aluminum signage. The Alchemy process provides greater design flexibility with the ability to combine different metals in the surface of the sign including bronze, copper and aluminum as well as different background textures including satin, brick, river rock, cliff, sand and wood grain.
The company is also proud that it is doing its part to be eco responsible, a commendable accomplishment in today’s environmentally conscious world. The FusionCast casting process eliminates harmful emissions produced by molten casting and 95% of its moulds are recycled. “We are excited about the many benefits and applications for FusionCast technology,” says Alchemy president Tom McLeod. “We can create and produce composite metal signage with designs and features that are either not available from traditional castings or available at a much higher cost. Our innovation capabilities have resulted in some pretty unique products produced more economically. In addition to our technology, we offer complete graphic and design support.”
Be it a sophisticated address sign, signs for your garden and pool, or indoor signs for your kitchen or study, Alchemy can produce a unique and fully customized sign. For more information about the company or to see their products, visit Alchemy’s website www.alchemyfusioncast.com.
