Would you like to have the likeness of your loved ones preserved for a long time to come? There is a way to commemorate the deceased permanently – through a gravestone photograph. Nowadays, thanks to modern technology, it is possible to have them made on crystal, glass or ceramic tiles, which means this form of memorial is becoming increasingly popular amongst families saying goodbye to their loved ones. Discover why the photos we produce for memorials retain their quality for many years, remaining intact!
Durable materials used to create gravestone photographs at Betimo!
At Betimo, we focus on creating images of the deceased on materials such as crystal, glass and porcelain, which are exceptionally resistant to a variety of weather conditions. The durability of our memorial photographs stems from a precisely tailored production process. When creating photographs on ceramic tiles, we use ceramic toners, which are fused into the material during firing in ceramic kilns.
For crystal, we use methods that involve bonding the image to the crystal using a special film, which fuses the surfaces together under the influence of heat and pressure. This forces the air out of the space between the glass and the image. In addition, when fitting the crystal, we use a special tape that expands and contracts in line with the temperature of the monument.
The lasting durability of gravestone photographs at Betimo – why are they resistant to various conditions?
When choosing a form of commemoration for the deceased, we want it to be resistant to rain, snow, frost and other conditions found in the demanding cemetery environment. That is precisely why, when you choose gravestone photographs produced by Betimo, you can rest assured of their durability. Why? We place great emphasis on ensuring our photographs are durable and weather-resistant. Our 30 years’ experience in producing photographs and the fact that we have never received any complaints regarding durability allow us to offer a lifetime guarantee on all our products. We have also successfully carried out accelerated ageing tests in 3M chambers, subjecting the photographs to extreme temperature fluctuations, ranging from -50 to 70 degrees Celsius.
In response to claims by competing firms advertising their crystal photographs as the only durable products, it is worth emphasising that our technology avoids the need for high firing temperatures, which preserves the full colour range in our crystal photographs. This process is faster and does not affect the shape of the glass, which we confirm by offering a lifetime guarantee to avoid any misunderstandings.
