Frequently Asked Questions About our Signs

 

What are the signs made of?

High Density Urethane (HDU) has been used in the USA for 13 years for making the best carved signs. Originally designed for surfboards, HDU has a density similar to light wood, but is completely waterproof - meaning your sign will outlast any wood sign. The paint stays looking new and the sign will never rot! We hand carve the letters into the signs.

 

How do I mount my sign?

We provide an easy to install mounting system free with every sign. The system makes it quite difficult to remove the sign from the wall. If you are mounting the sign on a brick wall, you will need a hammer drill. If you don't have one, there may be a handyman in your area who could help you out. The system is good for mounting to a wall, door or a post. Please tell us if you think you need something different.

 

Can you custom make me a sign?

Yes, we custom make house and business signs.

You can find more details on our Custom Signs page but basically, you can have any shape, and size (within reason), any colour sign you want. A designer will work with you to create the perfect sign. Only when you are happy with the design do we take payment.

 

What image can I have on my sign?

You may have any image you want! You can look at our art gallery and choose one, or if you don't like any of the pictures, simply email us a photo, or tell us what you want and we will paint it. A link on the gallery page will let you do that.

 

Why can't I see how my sign will look online?

We use a very expensive piece of software to help us design your sign. However, only the human eye can make the text on a sign look good when it goes around a curve. For example, the gap between a "G" and an "R" will be different than between a "T" and an "I". Our designers will always strive to make the best sign design. We will email you a picture of how your sign will look within 1 working day.

 

How long does delivery take?

Normal delivery is 14 working days. We can rush the signs in 7 working days for an extra £15.00. You will get this option when you pay for your sign. If you need anything sooner than that, please contact us and we will see what we can do.
