Questions people actually ask
How big does it need to be to read from the lane?
Bigger than feels natural indoors. From a car at the end of a drive you want 400 mm wide and up, one or two words, nothing fancy around them. The designer draws the sign to scale with its dimensions — hold a tape up to the gatepost and trust the millimetres.
Oak or aluminium?
Oak is the classic — 18 mm of European oak, engraved and oiled, and it improves as it ages. It wants a coat of oil once a year in full sun. Anodised aluminium will not rust or fade, even facing the sea, and suits a wetter, windier spot. Both are cut to whatever size you give us.
How does it fix to a wall or a gate?
Countersunk screw holes, with stainless screws in the envelope. Into timber they go straight in; into stone or render you will want a masonry bit and wall plugs. The sign does not mind which.
Will the lettering fade?
It is cut into the material, not printed on it. Oak is engraved and then oiled; aluminium is anodised and then laser-marked. Rain and sun have nothing to peel off.
