There’s many good reasons to invest in a sign for your property. They help your visitors and postmen to find you and can be highly decorative. We’re going to share our top reasons to choose slate house signs.
Make A Statement With Slate
Slate is a striking material. It’s usually found in grey, black or bluish tones and has a matte appearance. When wet, it becomes glossy. Because it’s a stone, it can be etched into and the etched parts are usually filled with an enamel paint to bring out the design.
Slate house signs are usually etched with numbers and names, so you’ll need to pick a font that you want on your sign. It’s recommended that you choose a clear and simple font, so that your sign is easy to read. You can also choose to have a border, pattern or decal if you wish.
How To Fix Slate House Signs
Slate house signs are usually provided with the holes already drilled. However, to make sure you have the correct holes it’s a good idea to let us know where you plan to put it. If the sign is going to be hung from the top so that it can swing, you’ll only need two holes and will want to source the correct fixings. Signs that will be fixed to the wall will usually come supplied with four pre-drilled holes for easy attachment.
The Benefits Of Slate
Slate is an excellent material for house signs. It’s durable, attractive and expected to last for a long time. It won’t fade, the only maintenance you might need to carry out on your slate house sign is to touch up the enamel paint from time to time. Slate is waterproof and shouldn’t be affected by adverse weather conditions. As long as it’s securely fixed to your property, it shouldn’t suffer damage.
