General Comments about Our Timber Products
Sign Preview / Approval
Upon receipt of your order we will send through a preview of your sign for approval (optional), at this stage design tweaks can be made free of charge. Please respond to this approval as soon as possible to ensure prompt sign manufacture and delivery.
Our Timber
All our timber signs are manufactured from sustainable sources, classified as super prime they are the highest grade available containing the character of oak with very flaws. Our timber is kiln dried and routinely checked for moisture content to ensure minimal risk of splitting and/or warping. Please be aware oak posts may contain some splits (inherent with oak [rustic]) but this will not affect the overall strength/integrity
Sign Finish
Our oil sign finish comprises 4 coats of Osmo UV-Protection Oil Extra, applied over consecutive days to ensure good adhesion and lasting protection. Based on natural oils it produces a satin-matt finish that enhances the natural tone and character of the wood, it does not crack, flake, peel or blister. It is water and dirt resistant, moisture regulating and reduces wood swelling and shrinkage. Oiled signs will require annual mainteance to maintain the finish. An alternative to oil finish is natural timber (sign treated with a fungicide only) this is a common option for trail, footpath markers etc, where routine maintenance is not practical, the oak will naturally weather/grey over time.
Delivery & Assembly
All our sign posts are dispatched by courier. Tracking details will be emailed on despatch. Signs are delivered in parts for [easy] assembly on site (instructions will be included).
