Slate House Signs Guide

How We Make Our Slate House Signs

Our slate house signs are made from natural 10mm slate and individually engraved to order. From compact house numbers to larger house name and address signs, each one is made with the natural character of the stone still visible.

Explore our slate house signs to see the full range of sizes and designs available.

Natural 10mm Slate

Slate is a natural stone, so subtle variations in its surface, texture and edges are part of its character. We use honed dark slate, approximately 10mm thick, which gives the finished signs their distinctive charcoal-grey appearance.

Deep V-Carved Engraving

Your wording is cut into the surface of the slate using deep V-carved engraving. Rather than simply marking the surface, the V-shaped cut creates depth in the stone before the engraving is finished with your chosen inlay colour.

Choose Your Engraving Colour

Choose from white, silver or gold to finish the engraved areas of your sign. Each colour creates a different look against the dark natural slate.

Options & Features

Check Your Design Before We Make It

Once we receive your order, we'll prepare a design proof showing how your wording will be arranged on the sign. You can check the layout before your slate sign goes into production.

Fitting Your Slate House Sign

Our slate signs can be ordered with fixing holes in a choice of positions, making them suitable for fitting beside a front door, to a wall, gate post or other suitable surface.

You can also order a slate sign without fixing holes if you intend to use a suitable exterior adhesive. For more information, read why we don't offer hidden fixings.
