Carved signs
Custom Carved and CNC Engraved Signs
Carved signs have a distinctive look that sets businesses them apart from other types of signs. They evoke a sense of timelessness and craftsmanship that few other NYC display signs have. They look simultaneously professional and personal, a welcoming aesthetic that appeals to people’s sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the handmade. Not only do they look great, but they’re highly resilient and can be used both indoors and out.
At Signs House One, We offer carved signs made of natural wood or high-density urethane (HDU), dense and durable materials that can keep your carved sign looking great for years to come. They are designed to be displayed outdoors and are given further protection against the elements with careful weather treatment.
If you’re considering a carved sign for your business, property, or organization, We can provide it for you. No matter what kind of carved sign you need - storefront, blade, hanging, directory, or something else - we can custom make it to your specifications.
What are carved signs?
Carved signs are extra durable, distinctively designed signs that can be incorporated into almost any form you need. They can be used for everything from hanging signs indicating a business’s location to foot traffic to larger and more decorative storefront signs, to smaller directional and informational signs along pathways or in office buildings, and so much more.
They can be made from natural and synthetic materials, depending on specific needs. Natural materials tend to lend the sign more character and are chosen often for their more handmade-style visual appeal. Synthetic materials are easier to carve into the exact shape or look wanted and tend to be more resilient. Whatever material they’re made from, however, carved signs draw people in with their unique look and indication that the owner cares about the details and impression they give potential customers. They serve not only as sources of information, but as a reflection of the care someone has for each aspect of their business, organization, or event.
What kind of carved signs are available?
We offer carved signs made of natural wood or specially engineered high-density urethane (HDU). For our natural wood signs, we primarily use two kinds of wood, both of which are hardy and outdoor-friendly
:
-
Cedar - resistant to pests and other forms of damage because of its natural resins.
-
Oak - Very hard and resistant to rot.
Both types of wood are also low maintenance and require little upkeep. However, whether treating them is a good idea to prevent the sign’s color from dulling and the wood being damaged by water.
What are the custom carved signs fabrication options we offer?
HDU is a synthetic material that is naturally waterproof, longer-lasting, and can be made into a more uniform appearance, all at a lower price than natural wood signs. They can be made to look like natural wood signs or have their own unique, more modern appearance.
As far as what kinds of signs we can carve or engrave into wood or HDU, your imagination and customer needs are pretty much the only limits. We have created carved swinging signs, blade signs, storefront signs, directional signs, decorative signs, and more. There are a few things we can’t do when it comes to customizing the appearance and display style of a carved sign. Because we also have access to a CNC machine, we can create detailed cuts and designs that few other companies can manage.
What Features Do Carved Signs Have?
There is a wide array of customization options for carved signs available, from size to color, to carved lettering and graphics, and more. Some of the most popular choices include:
-
Painting - If you want to add some extra color to your sign, we offer both hand and machine painting. If you need us to use a specific color to match a logo or company theme, we can do that as well.
-
Sandblasting - Sandblasting can accentuate the wood grain of your natural wood sign or add texture to the background of your HDU sign.
-
Gold Leaf - A touch of gold on your sign adds sophistication and a sense of high-end glamor to it and your business. Often added to lettering, it can also be applied to simple graphics, logos, and anything else you include in your design.
-
3D Lettering - Add a visually arresting, dimensional quality to your sign with letters that stand apart from the rest of the sign. This not only elevates the overall design but it also makes it easier to read and informs passersby and potential customers of your location from a greater distance.
We also offer many options for size, shape, and display methods. We’ve created wooden engraved signs that are large, small, in between, in the shape of logos, standard rectangles and circles, and more. Ways of displaying them vary, according to the best ways to mount different kinds of signs, but we have provided signposts, wall mountings, hanging from support or pole, and many others.
How to get a carved sign?
For carved signs, it helps to get a quote from one of our team members. You can then specify which type of wood you need and send us over the design for us to match you with the custom elements. If you do not have a designer available, let us know and we can put our experienced sign team on your project.
Some areas of NYC and other nearby cities may require a permit for some kinds of signs. If you’re not sure whether you need one to display your sign, or if you know you do but don’t know how to get one, we can help. We have experience in sign permit regulations and can offer our expertise to you during that process.
