Choosing Your House Nameplate
Choosing the right nameplate for your house involves several considerations. First, consider the material, opting for weather-resistant options like metal or wood depending on your home's style. Next, think about size and shape, ensuring it's visible but not overwhelming.
The design should reflect your personality, with simple fonts for a modern look or intricate details for a traditional feel. Don't forget about the personal touch – include your family name, a house name, or even a meaningful quote. Lastly, proper installation is key; ensure it's securely placed at eye level for easy visibility.
Bronze Nameplates
Bronze, a timeless and elegant material, offers a luxurious and durable option for house nameplates. Its rich, warm tone adds a touch of sophistication to any home's exterior. Bronze is highly resistant to weathering and corrosion, ensuring its beauty endures for generations.
The material lends itself well to intricate designs, allowing for personal touches like family crests or monogram initials. With proper care, a bronze nameplate will maintain its luster and become a cherished family heirloom.
Black and White Signs
Black and white signs have surged in popularity due to their timeless appeal, versatility, and high visibility. To help you explore the many options available, we have created this dedicated page showcasing a wide range of black and white sign in a range of materials.
One of the key reasons for their popularity is their exceptional readability. Studies show that white lettering on a black background ranks among the most visible colour combinations, making it an excellent choice for signage. Similarly, black text on a white background is close behind on visability. Whether you're looking for a classic or modern custom-designed black and white sign, this page will guide you through the best options.
French Style Metal House Name Plates
We sell many of these French-style house name plates, the most popular of which is traditional white text and border on a blue background. They are made using solid aluminium—an anti-rust metal with one of the five base colours. The lettering and line border are in a contrasting colour in a range of styles. The name plates can be gloss or satin finish. The sign is encapsulated and oven-baked for a tough and durable finish. They can even be used by the coast.
Celtic Style House Signs and Name Plates
We offer a stunning collection of Celtic borders and symbols that can be incorporated into our slate house signs and other name plates. Paired with one of our Celtic fonts, you can have a unique sign for your home. Slate is a popular choice for Celtic-style house signs. These signs can feature engraved and painted letters or have the background blasted away to leave the letters and border raised. We can even combine both techniques.
Glass Like Acrylic Name Plate
High quality contemporary acrylic signs suitable for internal or external use. These signs look crystal clean like glass and are ideal for a modern look.
Apart from a wash occasionally no other maintenance is required.
Painted and Etched Clear Acrylic Plaques & Signs
These are made using a combination of techniques. First the plaque goes to the sprayroom and the back is sprayed with two coats of a special paint. It is then taken to the laser room and the design is laser etched into the paint.
The overall effect is stunning. The front of the sign is smooth and glass-like with all the detail on the reverse.
Engraved Plaques - Stone Like Corian
Although not actually stone, but stone-like corian is a perfect material for engraved plaques. It can be used for house signs, large and small, nameplates as well as detailed memorial plaques. It also has the advantage of being virtually maintenance free. Available in many stone colours along with white and green
Embossed & Enamelled Name Plates
These vintage style metal house nameplates and signs are gorgeous. They are made using traditional methods developed over the last 120 years. Some of the dies for the embossing process are 80 years old!

Cast Metal Plaques and House Name Plates
Our long-lasting cast house name plates are usually made from traditional brass and aluminium. We have also crafted cast house signs utilising top-quality bronze and traditional cast iron. Cast metal signs are built to last. Materials like bronze and aluminium are resistant to rust and harsh weather, making them ideal for outdoor use. The casting process creates a three-dimensional effect with raised letters, logos, and designs, giving cast metal signs a high-quality, substantial look.
Cast metal signs are suitable for a wide range of applications, from house signs, name plates and business logos to commemorative plaques and historical markers.
