Large Slate Signs
For our large slate signs we use slate between 20mm and 30mm thick. Letters can be engraved into the sign and painted or the background can be blasted away leaving the letters raised. The signs are available in four heights - 225mm (9 inches), 300mm (12 inches),
450mm (18 inches), 600mm (24 inches) They can be cut to any length up to 2100mm (84" inches).

 

Oak is a beautiful timber, it is hard, heavy and durable. For large oak signs we use quarter sawn timber for increased stability. Its main disadvantage is that it must be maintained - if water creeps in behind the oil or varnished finish the grain will blacken. 

The farm sign to the above left has been made using signs from our standard oak range. The farm name is carved in 6 inch high oak. The information signs below it are made in 4 inch oak. 3"x3"  softwood posts have beem used and the smaller signs are hung by chains. The main sign has been screwed to the posts but could also be morticed in.

The sign to the right is 36" x 18" with a shaped top. It has been morticed into 3"x 3"oak posts

douglas fir Douglas Fir
Although a softwood Douglas Fir is characterized by exceptional strength, hardness and durability. It is not only very tough but also water resistant, which makes it useful in exposed situations where maintainence can be difficult. Not as beautiful as oak but if likely to be neglected it may be the better option. Having said that, a maintained sign will always look better and last longer!


225mm x 900mm Douglas Fir Sign with Dark Green Lettering

red cedar Red Cedar
Our Red Cedar Sign blanks are imported from Canada. They are made from laminated Westen Red Cedar with a highquality vertical grain. Cedar has a high tannin content producing excellent weathering characterics. The timber also has a very short grain resulting in minimal checking and warping. It is light weight and yet very stable and extremely durable. The timber can be oiled for a rich finish or left untreated to weather to a beautiful silver grey colour.

Cast Bronze
A traditional and almost timeless material for Farm and Estate Signs. Very long lasting and very low maintenance. Each casting is a unique piece in it's own right. Craftsmen use traditional methods for casting the bronze plaques and ensure that every handmade sign or plaque leaving the foundry is perfect. Bespoke designs can be created just for you.

cast metal Cast Heavy Metal Alloy
We have many shapes and sizes and approximately 400 standard motifs from which you may choose. They are made from a heavy casting alloy that will not rust or corrode. To achieve the raised lettering and a high relief motif each sign is individually cast using the traditional sand casting process. Our foundry-men make a mould of the sign into which the molten metal is poured.  

hanging

Hanging Signs
The brackets are metal and the panels are metal and PVC. Cut vinyl graphics and lettering applied to both sides as required. Other shapes are available.


fibreglass

Fibreglass Signage
Fibreglass Signs have massive advantage over other sign systems. Although comparatively light, they are extremely strong and therefore restistant to vanalism and weathering. The ability of fibreglass to be moulded offers shapes and sizes which could be cost prohibitive in other mediums.
