Granite Support Base with Slot — Larger Plaque Version
Reinforced granite support base with slot, designed for larger and heavier plaques. Same durability and stable mounting as the standard version — sized for large panels.
Description
🛠️ Why choose this? (TL;DR)
- Version for larger plaques: wider and sturdier than the standard support base — for panels sized 50×35, 60×40 cm and larger.
- Natural granite: fully resistant to frost, UV radiation, and weather conditions.
- Precision slot: fitted for thicker and heavier plaques, without risk of tilting.
- Installation: slide the plaque into the slot and fill the gap with colorless masonry silicone.
🛠️ Granite Support Base with Slot — Version for Larger Plaques
This is a reinforced variant of our mounting support base, designed specifically for larger and heavier granite plaques. It retains the same working principle as the standard version — a precise slot into which the plaque is slid — but on a scale suited to large formats, where the stability of the support matters even more.
📐 Larger scale, same precision
The larger and heavier the plaque, the more important the solidity of the base — that's why this version has an increased width and depth of the slot compared to the standard model. It works well for plaques in formats such as 50×35 cm or 60×40 cm, where a smaller support base might not provide sufficient stability. If your plaque is a standard size (e.g. 30×20 or 40×30 cm), we recommend the standard version — it will be proportionally better suited.
💎 Durability of natural stone
Made of solid granite, the support base is completely resistant to extreme weather conditions, frost, and UV radiation. Unlike plastic solutions, natural stone does not lose color or degrade over decades. The slot is slightly wider than the plaque thickness, allowing for free positioning adjustment before final bonding with silicone.

💡 Craftsman's tip: how to ensure a durable connection?
For a fully professional installation, we recommend sliding the plaque into the slot and then filling the resulting gap with colorless masonry silicone. For larger and heavier plaques, it's worth spreading the silicone evenly along the entire length of the slot — this ensures not only fixation but also sealing against moisture, which is crucial during winter frosts.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does this support base differ from the standard version (#202)?
This version has an increased width and depth of the slot, suited to larger and heavier granite plaques. The mounting principle is identical — the difference is purely in scale. For typical formats (30×20, 40×30 cm), we recommend the standard version, which is cheaper and proportionally better suited.
What plaque sizes is it intended for?
It works best for larger formats, e.g. 50×35 cm, 60×40 cm and similar — where the weight and dimensions of the plaque require sturdier support than the standard version.
What kind of silicone should I use for installation?
We recommend only professional masonry silicone. Regular construction silicones can cause discoloration on granite and have weaker adhesion to natural stone.
Can the support base stand directly on the ground?
For full stability, especially with larger and heavier plaques, the support base is best placed on a hardened surface, such as a border around the monument or a foundation slab. It can also be embedded if the terrain requires it.
Is the slot angled?
By default, the slot is made vertically, allowing for classic plaque display. If you need an angled support (wedge), check our Support Wedge model.
What color of granite is the support base made of?
We make our support bases from popular granite shades (grey, black, brown) to match the most commonly chosen plaques. When ordering, we try to match the shade to your purchased plaque.
