We deeply engrave, hand paint with highly durable enamel paint, oil and then expertly finish our handmade slate house signs for greater look and to avoid fading. All our house signs come complete with a hidden fixing kit and instructions to enable you to easily fit your new house sign with no visible screws.


Hidden Fixing Instructions:

Your house sign comes with a hidden fixings kit and also instructions of how to install.  Here is an overview of the installation process if you wish to familiarise yourself ahead of time.

 

·         Your hidden fixings kit consists of 2 x 70mm galvanised steel threaded pins & 2 tubes of strong glue.

·         Fill the holes in the rear of your house sign with glue, insert your pins and wait at least 4 hours until fully dry.

·         Mark out on your wall where the pins align.

·         Drill in to your wall markings approximately 75mm deep with a 5mm masonry drill bit.

·         Insert glue in to the drilled holes.

·         Press the pins in the rear of your house sign into the holes in the wall.


PLEASE NOTE THAT AS SLATE IS A NATURAL PRODUCT IT MAY CONTAIN FOOL'S GOLD, WHICH IS A NATURAL PYRITE THAT FORMS WITHIN THE SLATE. EACH PIECE OF SLATE HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CAN FEATURE THESE NATURALLY OCCURING MARKINGS.  THESE ARE NOT DEFECTS AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR SLATE ITEM WILL NOT CONTAIN IT.



Each house sign is made from 500 million year old Welsh slate from Blaenau Ffestiniog with high-quality sign writers enamel paint and metal hidden fixings. Did you know that Welsh slate was quarried from North Wales from as early as the 12th century? It’s actually the toughest slate known to man. It has very few impurities and a beautiful colour and grain structure. Welsh slate doesn’t fade in the sun. Here at Slate House we use Welsh Blue Grey Slate, although it is in fact a dark grey in appearance. The slate that we use here in our workshop in South Wales is mined at Blaenau Ffestiniog. The benefits of Welsh slate really surpass its cousins. There are not only fewer impurities in 100% Welsh slate but, it also needs less maintenance. Welsh slate has less fade and is stronger than other slates. We source our slate from Blaenau Ffestiniog which means delivery is much more eco-friendly than slates that have been imported from outside the UK. E.G. China and Spain. Supporting us also means you are supporting the local economy.

Slate House has been manufacturing and selling Welsh slate gifts and home wares since 2007. From designing laser engraved Welsh slate gifts in his spare room, Kevin Thomas has been designing and expanding his range of handmade products for over 10 years, which includes candles, natural soaps, blankets, cushions, mugs, coasters, trays, cheese boards, placemats, jewellery. Slate House also handcraft Welsh slate house signs, wedding signage and favours, trophies and memorials.

Hidden fixing instructions will be included with your house sign. If the slate becomes marked or faded, wipe a small amount of boiled linseed oil (or any food-safe oil) over the slate with a soft sponge to bring it back to life. Avoid contact with oil to paint as this could cause discolouration to paint.
