Welsh slate is justly famous throughout the world for it’s enduring qualities. Speaking personally, I like it because it engraves beautifully, with sharp deep numbers and a lovely fine eggshell finish. It is possible to engrave intricate artwork to compliment the house number itself. Welsh slate is one of the very best materials for engraving a house number sign.

SLATE FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Do not discount other types of slate, the number sign above was made from Brazilian green slate, it is tough and engraved beautifully. The only potential problem with some foreign slates is that they can fade in sunlight! You have to rely on the experience of your stone engraver to guide you on the quality of the stone you are using
