Description
Oak
All our Oak is Prime A Grade European Oak. Please note that as Oak is a natural timber the grain will vary from sign to sign. In European oak, you will get a variety of grain changes, muldullary rays and small knots.
Iroko
Iroko timber, also known as African teak, is a dense hardwood native to tropical Africa. Its heartwood ranges from yellow to golden or medium brown, darkening over time. Resistant to decay, Iroko is popular for outdoor applications like decking and boat-building. It’s durable, strong, and has a coarse texture with interlocked grain.
We have selected the most commonly asked fonts as an easy option to pick from, however, if you would like a font we have not got listed then please get in contact to see if we have it available.Images of the fonts to choose from are in the image gallery to view.Please be aware, the more text you have the smaller it becomes, so choose the correct size!
With this option, not only do we still carve the timber, we then apply 2 coats of paint to the engraved text.
Oiled
Our Oak signs are treated with Rubio Monocoat Woodcream to give protection from the elements.
- Ultimate Protection
- 100% ecological, 0% hazardous substances (VOC)
- Water-repellent with long-lasting pearl effect
Please note:Transparent (clear wood cream), which allows the wood to age naturally, but protects it and makes it water-repellent.
Painted
All our painted signs are finished with Zinsser Allcoat exterior water-based paint
Hanging signs come with open-eye hooks installed into the top of the sign, these are spaced to match our own hanging brackets.If you purchase without one of our hanging brackets we will set the eye hooks 50mm in from each end.
For oiled signs, the pearl effect (water-beading) will gradually diminish and treatment will be required.STEP 1. The wood must be cleaned with a mixture of 10% Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner and water. After the use of Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner, clean the surface by using water at low pressure and a soft brush; there is no need for sanding. Consult the accompanying technical data sheet before use.STEP 2. Stir Rubio WoodCream well and dilute it with Rubio WoodCream Softener in a ratio from 9 parts Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener to max. 1 part Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener in order to achieve the desired result.STEP 3. Apply it carefully and evenly, to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products, in the direction of the wood. Work in zones of 3 to 4 boards in the direction of the wood fibre. It’s best to work wet in wet. Spread out the product in one go with the application brush.
