Our inscription service is available for most of
our teak armchairs, benches, and seats. The
inscription is normally placed on the top rail but
could be on the rail under the chair seating or
on a table top. This 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 a standard ‘straight-cut’ letter.
As an alternative to carved inscriptions, we offer
bronze plaques with lettering set in cream vitreous
enamel. A choice of lettering and font styles is
available. The finished plaque is then recessed
into the face of the rail and held in position using a
special hidden vandal-proof fitting.

Carved Inscription – Serif font
Our carved inscription service may be used on
most of our teak armchairs, benches and seats. We
normally supply the inscription in capital letters using
a Times New Roman serif font at 2.5cm (1”) in height.
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 length
of the seat, the height of text, whether upper or lower
case or the font used. Our Rothesay seat allows 3 rows
of text whilst other seats can only accommodate up to
2 rows. Times New Roman is our standard font but we are
able to supply bespoke inscriptions in other fonts plus
inscriptions in foreign language scripts such as Chinese
or Arabic. We can supply teak panels in a seat back with
a logo or a club crest.
Bronze Plaques
Our bronze plaque service may be used with
most of our seats and benches. We supply as standard
a 57mm deep (approx. 2”) bronze plaque with 6mm –
(0.25”) block letters, see detailed image opposite.
However we can supply plaques to any size and
lettering in any font – please inquire.
Bronze Plaque Letters
The engraved lettering is filled with vitreous
cream enamel that is not affected by an outdoor
environment. Alternative soft fillings, offered by other
suppliers and often used on plaques sited inside a
building, are totally unsuitable for use outdoors and
should be avoided. Our plaques are recessed to finish
flush with the surface of the seat rail with a hidden fixing
that leaves the visible face of the plaque clear and makes
its unauthorised removal difficult. Plaques allow you to be
creative with your choice of font or image.
