Sapele House Name Plates
Wooden House Signs

Good Value Wooden House Name Plates

Pronounced Sa peel e, this species is another of the world's most extraordinary hardwoods. Its rich, lustrous, and variable reddish-brown colour gives it a mahogany-like appearance. However unlike most mahoganies, Sapele has substantially less movement in service. It is also even harder than oak and it is a very beautiful wood. It is a good value timber. Should always be maintained with oil or varnish.

Lettering

The design is then carved into the timber.

We can use most common fonts - for a selection CLICK HERE. 

The letters are then painted in a colour of your choice. (extra £5 for white, as pictured top right).

The sign on the bottom right was painted Farrow and Ball Purbeck Stone and then sprayed with a satin finish varnish. The font was Gill Sans.

Pictures and Borders

We can include simple pictures on the signs. We have a large selection which you can choose from - CLICK HERE - or you can send in your own artwork - It must be a simple image without any shading.

The cost is £12.50 per image for a standard image from our gallery or £34.50 if you are supplying an image file (jpeg, tiff, bmp etc).
A line border, with or without indented corners can also be included - £7.95

It is possible letters and border have been left raised and the background was blasted away. For more contrast the letters can be stained black before blasting the background away.

Sizes

We have a number of standard sizes as shown below. These will work out a little cheaper than made to measure wooden house signs.

The alternative method is 'Made to Measure'. Here you choose the size of the timber which can be up to 12inches / 300mm high. 

The wording can be laid out any way you choose. We can make even larger name plates - just ask for a quote.
