Memorial Plaques are made with natural slate with smooth, but not highly polished surface.
This shows the markings and grain of this lovely material - each piece is different.

SIZES
For memorial plaques we normally use slate which is between 10mm and 15mm thick. This can be cut to any size. If you want signs on thicker slate (20 - 30mm) or larger signs up to 600mm x 2100mm please CLICK HERE.

BORDERS
We can add a line border with indented or square corners at a cost of £5.00. 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 £7.50.

The top line was painted silver - the rest of the letters were left unpainted.

 

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 per hole. We would suggest 2 holes 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, particularly for the larger signs.

 

Times New Roman - Unpainted letters
Minimum letter size - painted 25mm, unpainted 15mm
No holes were drilled as customer want to bed it into the wall.

PICTURES
We can include simple pictures on the signs. We have a selection CLICK HERE - or you can send in you own artwork - It must be a silhouette style image without any very fine lines or shades. The cost is £2.75 per standard image, £8.25 for vector artwork or £16.50 for a jpg or other bitmap image.

LETTERS
The letters are normally painted silver, gold, white or left unpainted. However we occasionally do ivory or black. For a selection of fonts - CLICK HERE Further fonts can also be seen on the Gallery Page. Letter size is normally adjusted to suit the size of the slate ordered, but if you have something particular in mind - just put it on the order form or send us your ideas as a sketch, image or word document. Minimum letter size - painted 25mm, unpainted 15mm, raised 25mm
