Inscriptions and Plaques
We offer two options to personalise
your furniture; a carved inscription or a
Bronze Plaque, which are available for
most of our teak armchairs, benches and
seats. These inscriptions personalise a
gift to a loved one or provide a special
and distinctive memorial. Contact our
customer service department with your
requirements or with any questions.
Carved Inscription service
Add a personal message or the name of
a loved one to a piece of our furniture.
We normally put the inscription on the
top rail of a seat or chair but we can put
it on the front rail under the seat or on a
table top.
Please include your carved inscription
with your furniture order as we carve
the inscription before we manufacture
the furniture.
If you already own a piece of our
furniture and would like to inscribe it
then we can carve the component and
have a member of our care team visit you
and fit the new carved component. Our
customer service department will give
you a quotation for this service.
Features
• Our 3D-lettering is carved in a
traditional serif typeface using a ‘V’-
cut, which allows the inscription to be
read easily from the side as well as
from immediately in front, which is an
advantage over normal machine cut
letters.
• Our standard font is Times New
Roman, 2.5cm (1”) in height. We can
supply inscriptions in other fonts.
• We can supply an inscription in
any language, including Chinese
and Arabic.
• We can supply a seat with a teak panel
in the back, on which we can carve a
logo, a club crest or a longer
inscription or verse.
Considerations
• If more than one line of text is
required, we might need to reduce the
height of text depending on the model
of seat.
• The maximum number of characters
and length of an inscription will
depend on the seat model, the seat
length, the text height, whether upper
or lower case and the font used.
Bronze Plaque
We can supply personalised bronze
plaques to fit to any of our furniture.
Plaques allow you to be creative with
your choice of font or image.
We recess plaques onto new furniture
to finish flush with the surface, using
a hidden fixing that leaves the visible
face of the plaque clear and makes its
unauthorised removal difficult. We fill
the letters on our bronze plaques
with vitreous cream enamel that is
weatherproof and makes the inscription
an attractive feature and easy to read.
If you already own a piece of our
furniture and would like to add a bronze
plaque then we can supply one and have
a member of our care team visit you and
fit it. Our customer service department
will give you a quotation for this service.
Features
• We supply as standard a 57mm
deep (approx. 2”) bronze plaque with
6mm (0.25”) block letters (see top
image above).
• Plaques can be made to any size with
lettering in any font.
• The engraved lettering is filled with
vitreous cream enamel that is not
affected by an outdoor environment.
Soft fillings, often used on plaques
sited inside a building are totally
unsuitable for use outdoors and should
be avoided.
