Why can't I see my custom product before I place my order?

While other websites save themselves time by making you design your order we honour our handmade approach by getting our designers working for you.

For our more complex products we create the artwork for you and send it to you by email for verification before we proceed to manufacturing. The product description will show which products we do this for.

We're happy to provide you with as many artwork revisions as needed, until we achieve the ideal design tailored to your preferences.

Why is polished metal the best finish?

Our polished brass or aluminium plaques are heavily lacquered which give the best protection from outside elements. This allows them to stay looking fresh and new for as long as possible.

Polished Metal offers the additional benefit of being entirely recyclable, as the material can be melted down and remade to create new products.

Plated products on the other hand deteriorate over time when exposed to outdoor conditions. The plating may develop cracks and flakes over time. Also the different metals used in its construction, result in a significant amount being wasted during the recycling process.

Cold cast metals like cold cast bronze do not consist of actual metals. Instead, they are a combination of resin and powdered metal. Due to their plastic composition, they are not suitable for outdoor use, as they are prone to rapid weathering and deterioration. They are also not recyclable and must be disposed of in a landfill.

I have a specific design or idea. Can you help?

Most certainly we can. As we handle all of the design work, pattern making and manufacturing all in house, we are more then happy to bring your vision to life.

Simply send your requirements to us via the 'Contact Us' page and we shall draft you some artwork and send through a detailed quotation. When finalised we will send a custom order link to complete your purchase.
