BORDERS
We can add a line border with indented or square corners at a cost of £5.95 for most house signs. Another interesting technique is the border in relief where the slate around the outside of the sign is blasted away leaving the required shape in the middle. The cost of a border in relief is £8.95 Decorative borders - unpainted £5.95, painted £8.95
When the letters are raised and unpainted there is no extra cost for surrounding or line borders. We can use decorative borders for raised and unpainted. Borders are more expensive for larger signs due to the time it takes to sandblast the stone - see below.

HOLES
It is difficult to drill holes into slate as it requires plenty of
water to keep the slate cool. We can drill the holes for you @ £1.10
per hole. 2 holes are ideal on the 100mm high slate and 4
holes on larger slates.
If you do decide to use one of the many adhesives now available we would suggest additional support is used for the largest signs. We can recommend CT1 all purpose adhesive This can hold signs up to 10kg
