About the Finish of our Housesigns and Business Signs

Most people in the countryside and also many in town like the look of naturally faded oak for their housesigns and business signs. It is very durable but if exposed to the weather gradually turns to an attractive silver-grey colour. The paint work, if any, on the lettering or motif is equally durable but does not change colour. Though we recommend the 'natural' look it is possible for a small additional cost to put a finish on your sign of varnish with UV protection, but the sign will need further coats in future years to keep looking its best.

This is an example of a house sign after
many years' exposure to the weather.
Varnish keeps the sign brown
but will need maintainance.

Did you know?..............

The style of lettering usually described as ‘Roman’ is derived from inscriptions of the first century AD and in particular the column erected by Emperor Ulpius Trajan around AD114 – and therefore often described as Trajan letters. These examples were all in capitals and did not include the letters H, J, K, U, W, Y and Z so these were drawn in a similar fashion to complete the alphabet. As is well known Roman numerals were used so more modern letter designers have adapted Arabic numerals -1,2,3 etc to the roman style and incorporated lower-case letters to complement the capitals. There are now countless variations used for the printed word but when it comes to carved letters the original Trajan forms are the most popular.
