Inscriptions and Plaques
We offer two options to personalise
your furniture; a carved inscription or a
Bronze Plaque, which are available for
most of our teak armchairs, benches and
seats. These inscriptions personalise a
gift to a loved one or provide a special
and distinctive memorial. You can visualize
seats with your carved inscription or
bronze plaques using Planner on our
website. Go to www.teak.com/planner
For any other requirements or questions
contact our customer service department.
Carved Inscription service
Add a personal message or the name of
a loved one to a piece of our furniture. We
normally put the inscription on the top rail
of a seat or chair but we can put it on the
front rail under the seat or on a table top.
Please include your carved inscription
with your furniture order as we carve
the inscription before we manufacture
the furniture.
If you already own a piece of our
furniture and would like to inscribe it
then we can carve the component and
have a member of our care team visit you
and fit the new carved component. Our
customer service department will give
you a quotation for this service.
Features
• Our 3D-lettering is carved in a traditional
serif typeface using a ‘V’- cut, which
allows the inscription to be read easily
from the side as well as from immediately
in front, which is an advantage over
normal machine cut letters.
• Our standard font is Times New
Roman, 2.5cm (1”) in height. We can
supply inscriptions in other fonts.
• We can supply an inscription in
any language, including Chinese
and Arabic.
• We can supply a seat with a teak panel
in the back, on which we can carve a
logo, a club crest or a longer
inscription or verse.
Considerations
• If more than one line of text is required,
we might need to reduce the height of
text depending on the model of seat.
• The maximum number of characters
and length of an inscription will
depend on the seat model, the seat
length, the text height, whether upper
or lower case and the font used.
Bronze Plaque
We can supply personalised bronze
plaques to fit to any of our furniture.
Plaques allow you to be creative with
your choice of font or image.
We recess plaques onto new furniture
to finish flush with the surface, using
a hidden fixing that leaves the visible
face of the plaque clear and makes its
unauthorised removal difficult. We fill
the letters on our bronze plaques
with vitreous cream enamel that is
weatherproof and makes the inscription
an attractive feature and easy to read.
If you already own a piece of our
furniture and would like to add a bronze
plaque then we can supply one and have
a member of our care team visit you and
fit it. Our customer service department
will give you a quotation for this service.
Features
• We supply as standard a 57mm
deep (approx. 2”) bronze plaque with
6mm (0.25”) block letters (see top
image above).
• Plaques can be made to any size with
lettering in any font.
• The engraved lettering is filled with
vitreous cream enamel that is not
affected by an outdoor environment. Soft
fillings, often used on plaques sited
inside a building are totally unsuitable
for use outdoors and should be avoided.
