Hand
painted signs are part of our history and heritage. We are told
that there is no future for the skills of the experienced sign
writer. We believe that there is always a future for quality
and our order book confirms this. Increasingly, planning authorities
are insisting on traditional hand painted signs in conservation
areas and prohibiting garish plastic signs. Enlightened quality
businesses appreciate the importance of their image to potential
customers, through quality signs.
A
few of the major advantages of hand painted signs over vinyl
graphics are:
A
hand painted sign will outlast vinyl several times over.
The
balance and spacing of text is based on optical correctness
rather than measured spacing.
The
colours of text and background can be fine tuned to the customer's
specific requirements by mixing paint. We are not limited
to the vinyl colours available from the manufacturers.
Vinyl
expands and contracts with heat and cold and as it does it
leaves a residue of adhesive around the edges of the letters,
this becomes a magnet for dust and dirt.
Standard
fonts can be modified or changed to suit specific design requirements.
We
believe there is a market and future for vinyl graphics where
one requires cheap, temporary, repeatable and expedient signs,
as with commercial vehicles, but we have not and will not get
involved with them.
