SIZES
For made to measure slate signage we offer a choice of thicknesses, either 10-15mm or 20-30mm. This can be cut to any size up to 600mm x 2100mm for the thicker slate.

Should the size you want not be shown below please use the next size up and inform us of the size you would like the sign cut down to in the box for 'Notes'

LETTERS
The letters are normally painted silver, gold or white. However we occasionally do ivory, black or can even leave the letters unpainted. 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.  Letter size is normally adjusted to suit the sign, 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. 

 

Times New Roman - Unpainted letters
Minimum letter size - painted 25mm, unpainted 15mm

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.

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.
