Edge / Borders

Edges

The edge of your plaque or sign can basically be described by how your product looks from the side, as different to how it looks from front-on (see the ‘Borders’ section for more info). A variety of edge designs are available.

The most commonly used ones are the Raised Edge and Bevelled Linished Edge, Bevelled Painted Edge and Plain Cut Edge.

Other Edge variations are available but due to the special bases required these edge may only be available in a selection of set sizes.  Please contact us to check availability.
