Why should you choose to have your sign engraved or etched by Able Engraving ?
The principal advantage of an engraved or etched sign is that the image is actually cut into the surface of the sign's material by either a mechanical or chemical process the end result of which is an image that is permanent and cannot be defaced. The colour of the image is applied after the engraving or etching process has taken place by injecting special paint into the cut away parts of the image.
The durability of an engraved or etched sign is well known, as the process has been used for many years.There are many fine examples of work, which in some cases are hundreds of years old. These can be found in places such as churches and other historical buildings as living proof of just how long quality workmanship can last. The modern day engraved sign has more advantages to offer than the craftsmen from yesteryear could possibly of imagined. New developments in machinery and materials have enabled companies such as ours to offer a wide selection of products suited to different budgets, environments, and uses, whilst maintaining the highest standards in quality and production speed.

Materials We can produce signs in the following materials: Stainless Steel Brass Aluminium 3 ply Acrylic Laminate Perspex and other acrylics Engraving Laminates We offer a wide variety of engraving laminates available in many colours. These materials provide an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor utility signs. Engraving laminates are composed of three layers of acrylic, bonded together under extreme pressure. The middle layer is a different colour than the outer layers, this layer is revealed when the engraved image is cut through the front layer. The end result is tough sign that is especially resistant to chemicals and thinners as no paint infill is used.
