Our
Traditional house signs are hand cast in
aluminium using the ancient sand casting
method, we have oval house signs,
rectangular, arched-top, round as well as
house number plaques all featuring raised
lettering and outside border.
They are first
moulded by hand in foundry sand to
produce a negative of your chosen sign
shape, house name and motif. Once the
mould is ready the molten aluminium at
approx 700 C can then be gently poured
into the mould, when the cast aluminium
house sign has solidified, it is then
released from it's mould. At this point
you can see the detail of the raised/embossed
sign lettering, outside border and motif,
producing a high quality solid cast
aluminium sign. The sign is then fettled,
a process of grinding, filing and sanding
the surface, before being carefully hand
painted.
