Slate House Signs with
Raised Letters

What are slate house signs made from?
Our slate house signs are made from high-quality natural slate, carefully selected for its durability and attractive appearance. Each piece has subtle natural variations that make every sign unique.

Are slate house signs weatherproof?
Yes, slate is a naturally weather-resistant material. Our slate signs are designed to withstand the UK climate, including rain, frost, and sunlight, making them ideal for long-term outdoor use.

How is the lettering created on slate signs?
The lettering is left raised, with the background sand blasted away. This creates a deeply carved design with excellent contrast and a premium, traditional appearance.

Can the background of the slate sign be painted?
Yes, the recessed background can either be painted to enhance contrast or left unpainted for a more natural stone finish, depending on your preference.

Will the design fade over time?
No, the design is physically carved into the slate, so it will not fade or peel. Any painted background is durable but may naturally weather over many years and can be refreshed if required.

Can I customise the design of my slate house sign?
Yes, all our slate house signs are made to order. You can choose your wording, layout, font style, and optional motifs to create a personalised sign.

What sizes and shapes are available?
We offer a range of standard rectangular and oval slate house signs. Bespoke sizes can also be made to suit your specific requirements.

What finish do your slate house signs have?
Our slate house signs have a smooth, clean finish which provides excellent contrast for the raised lettering and sand blasted background.

How are slate house signs fixed to a wall?
Slate signs are typically supplied with pre-drilled holes and fixings. They can be mounted directly to a wall or fitted using stand-off mounts for a more contemporary appearance.

Can I add images or motifs to my slate sign?
Yes, we can incorporate a range of motifs such as animals, symbols, or decorative elements. Custom designs can also be included where suitable.

Are slate signs suitable for coastal areas?
Yes, slate performs very well in coastal environments as it is resistant to moisture and does not corrode, making it an excellent choice for seaside properties.

Do you provide a proof before making the sign?
Yes, we normally provide a layout proof for your approval before production to ensure everything is correct.

How long do slate house signs last?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, slate house signs can last for many years. The deeply carved design and natural stone material ensure long-term durability.
