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.
For the standard size signs we use slate between 10mm and 15mm thick.

raised unpainted letters
One line of text - Upper case - font Gill Sans (letters spread out) Letters raised an unpainted.
raised letters and surround
One line of text - Upper/ lower case - font Prose Antique Letters and border raised & unpainted.
 
LETTERS
The letters are normally painted silver, gold or white. However we occasionally use cream and black. We can also blast the background away leaving the letters raised and unpainted. When leaving letters raised we must use bold fonts without any fine line. For a selection of fonts - CLICK HERE Further fonts can also be seen on the Gallery Page. Letter size is not fixed and is normally adjusted to suit the sign. If you have something particular in mind - just put it on the order form.
 

Two lines of text - Upper/Lower case
font Times New Roman.
line border with square corners
Two lines of text - Upper case - font Poor Richard - Line border with square corners
 

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.
When the letters are raised and unpainted there is no extra cost for surrounding or line borders.

 

Two lines of text - Upper/Lower case
Font Souvenir. Letters and surrounding
border raised and unpainted.
oval border in releif
Two lines of text - Upper/Lower case
Font Poor Richard. The slate around the outside
of the oval has been blasted away. This is called a
border in relief. Holes on this sign, if required,
would normally be in the four corners.
 

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.
