Slate sign or coaster: a simple drawing to help you picture short or long wording — not a seller’s product, font or layout. Real items vary, so always check the seller’s own preview or proof. What you type isn’t stored.

About this idea

Natural slate engraves to a pale grey and stands up well to the weather, which makes it a good material for house signs and numbers. Some sellers fill the letters with white or gold paint for extra contrast.

Who it suits

New homeowners, cottages and anyone who likes a classic look.

Ordering in time

Made to order; heavy slate signs need careful packaging.

Before you order

  • Check the size and thickness for outdoor use.
  • Ask whether fixings are included.
  • Short names engrave larger and read better from the street.
