Services
Chemical Etching
Chemical etching creates high-definition metal signage using precision photographic processes. This technique allows text as small as 1mm and intricate graphics for applications requiring durability and sharp detail. We use 316 marine-grade stainless steel and brass, offering infilled colours and fire-tested options for commercial environments.
Digital Anoprinting
Digital anoprinting embeds full-colour graphics into anodised aluminium surfaces for permanent durability. Ideal for schools, healthcare facilities, and marine environments, this process resists wear, chemicals, and extreme weather while meeting fire safety standards for high-rise buildings.
Fire-Tested Signage
Fire-tested signage complies with BS 476 Part 6 & 7 standards for flame propagation and surface spread. Designed for stairwells, lift lobbies, and critical escape routes, these signs use non-toxic materials that emit minimal smoke, ensuring safety in public and high-rise buildings.
Premium Finishing
Premium finishing enhances metal signage with polished edges, custom profiling, and high-grade materials. Specialising in 316 stainless steel and satin brass, we create bespoke presentation pieces for yachts, luxury retail, and architectural projects requiring exceptional visual quality.
Commemoration Plaques
Commemoration plaques are crafted from durable materials like marine-grade stainless steel and anoprinted aluminium. Designed for outdoor and indoor memorials, they feature etched brass, fade-resistant graphics, and protective finishes for long-term visibility in extreme environments.
