Font & Lettering Options | Signage

Choose from a range of traditional, modern, or script font styles to suit your
property or brand aesthetic. (These options will be sent after purchase via email)

Available lettering finishes include:
• Black
• White
• Dark Brown
• Unpainted natural engraving
• Silver reflective
• Black reflective

Choosing Your Finish:

For the strongest contrast and daytime readability, we recommend:
• Black or White lettering

For a more subtle, natural appearance that blends beautifully with
the oak grain, we recommend:
• Dark Brown or unpainted engraving

For improved nighttime visibility, reflective finishes are ideal as
they catch torchlight and vehicle headlights:
• Silver reflective offers maximum visibility
• Black reflective provides the best balance between daytime contrast and nighttime reflectivity

Reflective finishes are especially well suited for roadside signs, entrances, and low-light locations.

Installations and Fixings | Large Tiered Signage

Signs are supplied disassembled to help prevent damage during transit. Predrilled fixing points, screws and oak dowels are included for straightforward assembly.

Please choose from the drop-down menu whether you would like 'Front Screwed' or 'Back Screwed' installation. The difference is outlined below:

Front Screwed:
This is the simpler of the two installation options. Each plaque will arrive with four predrilled screw holes, which you align with the fixing points in the post and screw into place. The supplied oak dowels can then be used to cover the screw holes, leaving a neat, clean finish.

Back Screwed:
With this option, fixing holes are countersunk into the back of the posts, allowing you to screw the plaques into place from behind. This provides a completely clean finish from the front, with no visible screw holes or dowels.

Back Screwed installation requires a little more preparation during assembly. You will need enough space to lay the sign flat, along with a set square to ensure the plaques are correctly aligned, a tape measure to maintain the 20mm gap between each plaque, and a drill or impact driver.

Optional 70cm ground spikes are recommended for easier installation and increased longevity. They provide additional stability, reduce the amount of oak post that needs to be buried in the ground, help minimise prolonged contact with wet soil, and can extend the lifespan of the oak. They also make future removal or maintenance much easier.

Installation guides and video tutorials are available in our FAQs.

Care and Maintenance | Signage

Each oak sign is carefully finished using an exterior-grade oil of your choice, designed to protect the timber and enhance its natural character.

To maximise the lifespan of your sign, we recommend periodic maintenance depending on its exposure to weather, installation environment and your personal preference of aesthetic finish.

Finish Options:

Danish Oil Finish
• A penetrating oil treatment that nourishes and protects the oak from within.
• Enhances the natural grain and warmth of the oak
• Provides water resistance while maintaining a natural finish
• Allows the timber to breathe and age naturally
• Requires more regular maintenance
• Best suited for customers wanting a traditional, natural wood appearance.

Osmo Exterior Protection (Clear Satin Finish)
• A premium hard wax oil system providing enhanced exterior protection.
• Highly water-repellent and UV resistant
• Helps reduce moisture absorption and weathering
• Creates a durable, breathable protective finish
• Requires less maintenance than traditional oils
• Preserves the natural beauty of the oak with a clear satin finish
• Best suited for customers wanting long-term protection with minimal upkeep.

Sourcing and Sustainability

Each piece is handcrafted from sustainably sourced English oak, carefully selected from local timber suppliers in and around Dartmoor National Park. Chosen for its durability and natural beauty, every piece of oak features its own unique grain, texture, and character.

All products are designed, engraved, assembled, and finished by hand in our Devon workshop using traditional woodworking methods and responsibly sourced materials.

Oak is a natural material that continues to respond to its environment over time. Small cracks, grain movement, colour variation, and slight warping may naturally occur as the timber settles and ages outdoors.

These characteristics are part of the authentic beauty and individuality of handcrafted solid oak, making every piece completely unique.

Branding


Each product includes a subtle Grain Designs metal branding plate, carefully fitted using the same small, slim design across our collection. The plate is positioned discreetly to complement the piece without interrupting the overall appearance or craftsmanship of the item.

If you would prefer your product without branding, simply leave a note in the personalisation box when ordering.

After Care

About Oak

Wood is a natural material that naturally responds to changes in temperature and humidity by expanding and contracting. While these shifts are typically minor, you may notice small hairline cracks over time—this is a natural characteristic that adds to the wood’s unique charm. Seasonal changes can also cause slight movement in the timber, which is completely normal and expected as part of its aging process.

After Care

Regular care is essential to keep your product in top condition. We recommend treating the wood with Danish oil or a similar timber treatment to nourish and protect it. This helps prevent drying out, discoloration, staining, cracking, and warping, ensuring its longevity and beauty over time.

FAQ's

Can I approve my design before you begin engraving?

Absolutely! We’ll never engrave anything until you’ve confirmed the design. After your order, we’ll email you design options for approval. Feel free to share any preferences, and we’ll refine the design until you’re completely happy. No engraving will take place until you give the final confirmation.

How do I choose my font?

We can engrave nearly any font. We’ll provide a range of font options for you to choose from. If you have a specific font in mind, just mention it in the additional instructions, and we’ll include it. You can also let us know your style preferences, and we’ll tailor the choices accordingly. If you’re unsure, we’ll still provide a variety for you to pick from.

How do I choose the colour for my engraving?

Choosing an engraving colour comes down to both aesthetic preference and how the product will be used.

  • White offers the highest contrast, making it ideal for clear visibility.
  • Black is a more traditional option that still provides strong contrast.
  • Natural / unpainted engravings suit interior and household décor items best, rather than signage.
  • Reflective paint has a subtle silver tone and contains light-reflecting pigments, giving it the best visibility at night. This works best with bolder fonts, which will be reflected in the available design options.

You can read more about reflective finishes in our blog post.

If you have a custom colour in mind, please get in touch — we’re always happy to source a specific finish for you.

How do I add a logo or emblem to my order?

Please use the 'Upload Logo/Emblem' option when placing your order so that we can include it in your designs and use the 'Additional Instructions' to let us know how are where you would like it to be included,

Please send your image to If you are not able to upload the image then please email it to info@graindesigns.co.uk.

In these cases, we recommend emailing it to us before placing your order — we’re happy to review it and provide proofs so you can be confident the final result meets your expectations.

What if I’d like different dimensions or a design that isn’t shown in the listing?
