Iroko - A Premium Hardwood
for Long-Lasting Wooden Signs

Iroko is a high-performance hardwood imported from sustainable plantions inWest Africa. Often compared to teak in appearance and durability, it is an outstanding choice for exterior wooden signage.

In colour, Iroko typically ranges from pale golden brown to a warm honey tone when first machined. Over time, it naturally deepens to a richer mid-brown, giving signs a mature and distinguished appearance.

The timber has a medium to coarse texture with an attractive interlocking grain, which often creates beautiful natural patterns across the surface of the sign.

Lettering

The lettering is carved into the sign by sand blasting, lasering or with a CNC router depending on the size of the sign and detail required. The letters are then painted Black or Brown as standard. Red, White, Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue, Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone (light grey)or Heritage Green are also available at £5.

Where fine detail or small letters are required we can laser, ie burn into the wood without the need for paintfill.
