Which material do I use for my Information Signs? This is a question we are frequently asked, so we have put the most suitable options on this page. It is often the height of the lettering which ends up determining the type of material used. The minimum letter height is listed below.

Laser Engraved Stainless Steel These tough and maintenance free stainless steel plates are perfect for informational signage. Unlike normal engraving it has the major advantage that lettering can be smaller and the images and logos can also be far more detailed. The lettering can be as small as 2mm high and even good quality photographs can be used. Although the lettering itself is not engraved into the metal it is permanent and as tough as the metal beneath.

Corian Signage A modern material with a cold stone like finish. Corian is a mixture of clear acrylic resin, natural minerals and pigments. The mineral content retains some of the properties of real stone such as the cold feel, matt finish and substantial weight. It is perfect for information signs in that it is very durable, fade proof and virtually maintenance free. Lettering is engraved into the corean and can be as small 7.5mm high depending on the font.(about 6 letters to the inch) Letters are then paint filled with black, white, silver, gold or blue.

Cast Bronze   Cast Aluminium The cast metal signs are all made in a foundry using traditional methods. They are very long lasting, hard wearing and virtually maintenance free. The very latest in pattern making technology gives unlimited scope of lettering, motifs and layout. Lettering can be as small as 4 characters to the inch and 2 lines to the inch

Exterior Grade Acrylic Laminate These signs are ideal for outdoor information signs where the text can be at least 10mm in height. They are very durable - made from 2 ply 3mm exterior grade flexible acrylic which is weather proof and UV resistant. The letters are engraved through the first layer of laminate to show the colour underneath. Simple images can be engraved into the laminate.

Laser Engraved Acrylic Laminate This type of laminate is 1.5mm thick, so not as robust as our 3mm Standard Engraved Laminate. However it has the advantage of being able to use small text and detailed images. It still can be used outside and is very useful for detailed information signs.We can engrave the letters in a variety of fonts and with a minimum letter size 2mm

Full Colour Printing on Aluminium Composite Sheet We can cover the 3mm aluminium composite board in full colour printed vinyl. This is ideal for small lettering, or where several colours are used, or where photos or images are required. NB - all printed vinyl does gradually fade over the years. For a smarter looking sign we can enclose the sign within an oak frame.

Full Colour Printing on Self Adhesive Vinyl We can print your artwork or wording onto exterior grade self adhesive vinyl for you to apply to any smooth surface. We use environmentally friendly solvent inks in our printers. In the right situation this can be a very cost effective way of purchasing your information signage.

Health & Safety and Fire Signage These are made in self adhesive vinyl and rigid PVC in both white and photoluminescent. There is a huge range of standard safety signage including fire, warning, hazard, safety posters, food safety, water safety etc. They are all on the website and we also have a catalogue for the safety signage.

Oak Frames Our carpenters will make up oak frames to surround any of the sign boards apart from cast bronze or aluminium. These are very attractive and can be screwed to a wall or hung from a bracket. They are finished in either Danish Oil or a Black Preservative Stain. We can also mount the signs onto backing boards made in oak, sapele or iroko.
