ToughPrint - Metal Signs and Memorials
These metal signs offer superb color quality with long-term UV resistance, ensuring they last for years without fading (tested to BS3900 standards for colour fastness). They are exceptionally durable, providing resistance to moisture, abrasion, scratches, and acids. These signs are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, including coastal environments.
The heat-treated encapsulation provides a robust, high-quality finish that is easy to clean and features anti-vandal and graffiti-resistant properties. Outperforming most other sign products, they deliver durability comparable to vitreous enamel at a significantly lower cost.
Cast Aluminium Plaques & Memorials
We create cast aluminium memorial plaques, commemorative plaques, and informational signs using a blend of traditional craftsmanship and the latest pattern-making technology. This combination allows us to offer a wide range of lettering, motifs, and layouts. Shaped plaques are also a possibility.
Choose from four standard background colours, although we can also use bespoke colours. Fix your plaque with a tree stake, holes, or rear studs. From the pattern-making process to delivery, each plaque receives individual attention from our highly skilled craftsmen, using casting methods that date back to the Bronze Age.
Embossed & Enamelled Name Plates
These vintage style metal house nameplates and signs are gorgeous. They are made using traditional methods developed over the last 120 years. Some of the dies for the embossing process are 80 years old!
Each plate is hand made and then hand sprayed using stoving enamel. Excellent value name plates.
Zinc Plate with Raised Letters
These hand-painted and hand-finished memorial plaques are made from zinc plate, which is strong and tough and does not rust or tarnish. The background is etched away, leaving the lettering, numbers, border, and images raised.
These plaques are ideal for commemorative and memorial purposes due to their durability, longevity, and maintenance-free nature. They can incorporate detailed, full-colour images, including military badges, family coats of arms, national flags, and even your own artwork.
We can also mount your plaque onto a 3ft high stainless steel tree stake
Hanging Cut Out Black Metal Signs
Make a bold impression with our striking, custom cut-out hanging metal signs - normally black but could be other colours. Ideal for businesses, homes, or any space that could use a touch of personalised style, these versatile signs are designed to stand out. You can send us your own cut-out design, or let our in-house designer craft the perfect layout for you. We also have a range of standard designs.
Anoprinted Aluminium Plaques & Memorials
This process locks the photograph and wording inside the hard anodised layer. This makes the plaque very tough and durable, completely waterproof, as well as being resistant to fading. The background colours for the plaque are silver or gold. These plaques can be used either as a complete memorial plaque or inserted into a wooden, Corian or slate memorial
Cast Bronze Plaques & Signs
These top-quality bronze signs and memorial plaques are traditional, timeless, and virtually maintenance-free.
By combining the latest in pattern-making technology with the finest traditional craftsmanship, we offer you the best of both worlds. These signs are perfect for information displays, house signs, and memorial plaques, providing a durable and elegant solution for various applications.
Engraved Brass Signs & Business Nameplates
An engraved brass nameplate is a very traditional town house sign. It is also perfect as a prestigious plaque for a building's opening plaque. It is made from 2 mm top-quality brass and can be cut to any size. It is available with or without backing boards. Lettering is available in a wide range of fonts. Keep it polished to look its best.
Chemically Etched Steel and Brass Plaques
Ideal for small text, images with fine detail, photos or if several colours are needed. The main benefit of chemical etching over standard engraving is no mechanical stress to the material and no cutter marks as the unwanted material is removed by chemicals, leaving clear, sharp, flat surface detail. Not as cost-effective for small engraved plaques unless there is a large amount of text.
Good Value House Signs
Aluminium composite is a smart, durable, versatile material available in a range of colours and finishes to suit any home. It is perfect for a good-value, long-lasting, and low-maintenance metal house sign. We can also create full-colour designs besides single-colour house signs.
Aluminium composite is lightweight, extremely flat, and exceptionally rigid. It does not corrode and can be cut to any simple shape. Moreover, it is environmentally friendly. We use top-quality exterior-grade vinyl for the highly durable and weather-resistant lettering.
French Style Metal House Name Plates
We sell many of these French-style house name plates, the most popular of which is traditional white text and border on a blue background. They are made using solid aluminium—an anti-rust metal with one of the five base colours. The lettering and line border are in a contrasting colour in a range of styles. The name plates can be gloss or satin finish. The sign is encapsulated and oven-baked for a tough and durable finish. They can even be used by the coast.
Laser Engraved Stainless Steel
These tough, maintenance-free stainless steel plates can be used in many situations where small text or detailed artwork is required. Even good-quality photos can be used.
Although not engraved into the metal, the lettering is permanent and as tough as the metal beneath.
Aluminium Signage
Our range of aluminium signage is vast and versatile! Made from 3mm aluminium, our signs include flat plate sign boards, large tray signs, nameplates, aluminium plates with fixing channels, and double-sided business signs on posts.
We also offer finger posts and bullnose edging where required. Designed with vinyl, our aluminium signs are low maintenance and of great quality, providing you with the opportunity to personalise a sign that works perfectly for you.
Cast Metal Plaques and House Name Plates
Our long-lasting cast house name plates are usually made from traditional brass and aluminium. We have also crafted cast house signs utilising top-quality bronze and traditional cast iron. Cast metal signs are built to last. Materials like bronze and aluminium are resistant to rust and harsh weather, making them ideal for outdoor use. The casting process creates a three-dimensional effect with raised letters, logos, and designs, giving cast metal signs a high-quality, substantial look.
Cast metal signs are suitable for a wide range of applications, from house signs, name plates and business logos to commemorative plaques and historical markers.
Metal Memorial Plaques
Many of our metal memorial pieces have a traditional feel about them. Often used for war memorials or for businesses honouring someone on their site, we pride ourselves on the high-quality finish that we achieve on these memorial plaques.
Crafted with everything from brass and bronze to aluminium and stainless steel, we have a variety of different metal memorials for you to choose from - each with its own unique qualities. There is a huge amount of variety for you to select from in terms of the design of your memorial. We have a wide range of fonts and additional images, which all enable you to tailor a memorial to work for you.
