The Versatility of Our Stone Signs

The Versatility of Our Stone Signs

Stone signs are sometimes overlooked, and we’re not quite sure why! With an exquisite range of natural stones available, these signs offer both beauty and incredible versatility. Today, we’d love to walk you through our collection and explore the endless possibilities they offer.

Slate

Slate is a stunning, natural material known for its premium finish. Each piece is unique—some are smooth and uniform, while others feature natural markings, pyrite, or fool’s gold. Traditionally, slate complements older-style homes, from country cottages and seaside retreats to large estates and farms. However, thanks to our talented designers, slate signs can also take on a modern, contemporary look.

One of slate’s biggest advantages is its durability. It requires minimal maintenance and is more affordable than many people expect. Our standard slate is cost-effective and available in a natural or oiled finish, which deepens the colour to a near-black shade.

Our standard slate signs come in a range of sizes, thicknesses and extensive personalisation.
 

For those with a slightly larger budget, we offer premium local slates, including Welsh Slate and Lakeland Green Slate:

  • Welsh Slate is known for its exceptional quality and uniformity. It’s an excellent choice for those who prefer minimal natural markings and is particularly well-suited for raised and unpainted signs.
  • Lakeland Green Slate offers a more distinctive look with its light blue patterns, making it a unique and elegant option for homes and businesses.

Not wanting to be outdone by our stunning natural stones, you can personalise your slate sign, we provide a range of design options, including custom fonts, images, and lettering colours. If you’re looking for intricate details, we offer laser-engraved images on both standard and Welsh slate. For a bolder look, we can create painted lasered images, where the base shape is blasted out, filled with paint, and then finely detailed with a laser.

For those who want to add a full-colour image, we can embed a photo plaque into the slate—ideal for business signage or memorials. And slate isn’t just for signs! It can also be crafted into doorsteps, bar tops, and kitchen worktops.


Detailed images can be included and slate can be used for bar tops and door steps.

Granite

Granite is another exceptional stone choice that radiates quality while maintaining a subtle elegance. Available in a variety of colours and thicknesses, it’s perfect for creating a sophisticated look.

Some popular colour combinations include:

  • Black granite with white or gold text
  • Classic Dark Grey with gold or Purbeck Stone letters
  • Celtic Grey with black or white letters

Like our other stone signs, granite can be customised with fonts, images, and different lettering colours. It’s also an excellent material for entrance signs, which can be mounted on posts for a striking statement.

High-quality granite house and businesses signs.

Other Stone Options

Beyond slate and granite, we offer additional high-quality stone choices:

  • Purbeck Stone – Quarried in the UK, this stone has a classic Cotswold aesthetic. Softer than granite but as durable as slate, it pairs beautifully with black or Downpipe Grey lettering.
  • Limestone – A lighter alternative to Purbeck Stone, it retains a natural, timeless charm while being a more budget-friendly option.
  • Rainbow Sandstone – For something truly unique, this stone boasts a stunning array of natural colours. It pairs exceptionally well with black, Downpipe Grey, or Stiffkey Blue lettering.
Other stones like Limestone, Purbeck and Rainbow Sandstone make for interesting signs.

Endless Possibilities

Our stone signs offer an incredible combination of beauty, durability, and customisation. Whether you're looking for a classic or contemporary style, a house sign, a business plaque, or even a unique home feature, we have the perfect stone option to suit your needs.
