Engraved Memorial Plaques

Stockcode:

When you think of engraved plaques, brass typically springs to mind. Although brass is an excellent choice for plaques and signs, it does necessitate regular polishing. At The Sign Maker, our engraving workshop features a diverse selection of materials for engraved plaques and signs. For example, Corian plaques, which resemble stone, are both maintenance-free and exceptionally durable. Additionally, we offer acrylic laminate in various colors, black aluminium, and eco-friendly PaperStone, all of which are suitable for outdoor applications.

You can count on us for engraved plaques that meet the highest quality standards.

House Signs
Discover high-quality house name signs tailored to fit any budget, with an extensive range of materials, fonts, and images to choose from. At our North Devon workshops, we craft a variety of personalised house signs, nameplates, home name signs, and door numbers—each one uniquely made to your specifications. You have full control over the material, size, lettering style, and the option to include an image for added personalisation.

We use a variety of expert techniques depending on the material you select, including sandblasting, engraving, lasering, printing, casting, and painting, ensuring a stunning, long-lasting result.

Memorial Plaques
Our skilled artisans and designers create memorial plaques with care and precision, tailored exactly to your preferences. With a wide range of memorials to choose from, selecting the right one can feel overwhelming. We can personalise your memorial plaque by incorporating images or, in some cases, even photographs.

Whether you prefer a traditional, modern, minimalist, or decorative design, we will craft your memorial plaque just the way you envision it.

Wooden Signs
The Sign Maker craft each of our wooden signs with care and expertise. We stock a variety of timbers, with Oak being the most popular choice for its stunning grain and durability, making it ideal for high-quality, long-lasting signs. Another excellent option is Chestnut, often called "The Poor Man's Oak," offering similar qualities at a more affordable price.

Other popular timbers include Sapele and Iroko. Sapele is known for its rich, deep red tones and robust nature, while Iroko is highly sought after for its high oil content, making it a low-maintenance choice for wooden signs.

Whether it's a beautiful Iroko house sign featuring a farthing image or large commercial entrance signage, our experienced team can help you create a wooden sign you'll be proud of. From small house signs to business signage, we bring your vision to life with craftsmanship and care.

Stone Signs
We offer a wide selection of slate in various thicknesses, along with granite and marble, to create your custom house sign or nameplate exactly the way you envision it. We begin by selecting the perfect piece of slate or stone for your design, then cut and polish it to your desired size.

Our skilled craftsmen expertly sand-carve the lettering and apply durable, weather-resistant paint in a range of colors. While white is the most popular choice for slate signs, black provides a striking contrast, and for a softer, more natural look, we offer a pale green option that beautifully complements the grey slate, inspired by Farrow and Ball's Lichen.

For a truly unique touch, you can explore a variety of letter colors and hundreds of fonts available, so you're free to choose a style that suits your taste.

We also offer an alternative technique where the background is blasted away, leaving the letters raised slightly for a distinctive look.

Business Signage
Although our sign company is based in North Devon, we proudly ship business signage across the UK and to many international destinations. No matter where your business is located, you can rely on us for high-quality, reliable signage delivered promptly.

With all our talented designers and skilled craftsmen working on-site, every project is given meticulous attention from start to finish. Our specialised workshops are equipped to handle a wide range of signage needs, from wooden signs and products to stone signs, memorials, laser-engraved and traditionally engraved plaques. We also offer sandblasting, vinyl signage, and more. Our modern print room and state-of-the-art paint spraying facilities ensure that we can meet all your custom signage requirements.

Engraved Plaques
When considering engraved plaques, brass is often the first choice due to its timeless appeal, but it does require regular polishing to maintain its shine. At The Sign Maker, we offer a variety of materials for outdoor engraved plaques and signs to meet different preferences and maintenance needs:

Brass: Classic and elegant but requires frequent polishing to prevent tarnishing.
Corian: Extremely durable, non-porous, and maintenance-free, making it ideal for outdoor use.
Stainless Steel: Sleek and modern, highly resistant to corrosion, with minimal upkeep.
Acrylic: UV-resistant and versatile, perfect for detailed engravings.
Anodised Aluminium: Available in black or coloured options with white text, and completely maintenance-free.
Paperstone: Eco-friendly, weatherproof, and made from natural resins, offering a sustainable option for outdoor plaques.

Wheelcovers
Wheel covers are a fantastic way to promote your business or add a personal touch to your 4x4. A custom wheel cover can help you stand out or give your spare wheel the polished, professional look it deserves.

We offer several options for wheel covers: a simple plain vinyl cover, a full-color vinyl disk, a wheel cover with cut vinyl lettering, or a full wrap that covers the entire disk. While black skirts are standard, we can also customise them in other colours to match your preferences.

For business designs, cut vinyl is our go-to choice. It's not only one of the most affordable options but also provides a durable, long-lasting finish.

When it comes to personal wheel covers, animal-themed designs—like horses or dogs—are some of the most popular.

Share your ideas with us, and we'll create a custom design to perfectly complement your spare wheel.
