Pattern Services

As well as our own manufacturing service we offer unique foundry pattern making services as well.

Though our own bespoke way of manufacturing we have developed skills that allows us to produce high definition pattern equipment for foundry use.

Our deep etch magnesium and zinc plates are ideal flat back patterns for foundry use, this is the way we produce all our bronze, aluminium and cast iron plaques.

As well as our deep chemical etching service we also have an in-house CNC cutting center which we use for deeper wooden and resin cutting again offering a more defined profiled pattern whilst still maintaining the ideal draft angles for sand casting production. We also have access to traditional pattern makers who can further develop our products if required.

Over the years we have produced numerous tools for our friends in the foundry industry as well as tooling for artists to use as base plates for clay production and resin/polymer productions.

Our pattern making services have been used to produce tooling for:

  • The National Trust
  • The Scottish Highland Trust
  • PGA Golf Courses
  • English Heritage
  • UNESCO
  • Blue Plaque Schemes
  • Commonweath Walkways
  • Network Rail
  • The War Memorials Trust

Social Distancing Signage

The 2020 global Corona Virus pandemic has certainly tested the very way we live and operate – meaning the implementation of new concepts such as social distancing and face masks have now become a part of everyday life.

Everywhere we go at the minute, whether it be fetching groceries from the shops, picking the kids up from school or in and around our places of work we see the sticker or transfer style of Social Distancing signage and unfortunately due to the nature of these they are mostly looking scuffed, worn and weathered.

This presents a problem, how do we keep safe but also keep things looking tidy.

Along with a number of our commercial customers we have develop a range of semi-permanent deep etched zinc plaques.

  • Available in a variety of colours – including metallic, matt and night glow finishes.
  • Weather proof coating as standard
  • Available with additional anti slip coating – or pre-drilled holes
  • Robust to withstand even the harshest industrial environments
  • Customizable to include company or personal logo’s
  • Your choice of symbols
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Huge reduction in down time with repairs and replacements
  • Huge reduction in costs with reduced replacement and repairs

So far we have seen a great response for these products, especially within the workplace and heavy footfall areas, such as shopping and garden centres.
