Flat RelieF

Flat-Relief PortraitAn economical alternative to a bas-relief, this method begins with a black & white rendering of the subject. Once approved, a photopolymer pattern is produced. A raised image, two-level metal casting is manufactured and applied to the cast plaque.

Line details are raised to the same height as the raised copy. Flat reliefs are suitable for exterior and interior applications.
