Gold Leaf Sign – Josephine Butler Parks

Written by Travis Brandon on March 31, 2011. Posted in Sandblasted Signs

gold leaf signA sandblasted HDU sign finished with gold leaf, and installed at The Josephine Butler Parks Center in Washington, DC. This beautiful gold leaf sign looks like real carved stone, but it isn’t! This sign was actually manufactured with sign foam, or high density urethane (HDU). The sign foam is sandblasted with a flat relief to resemble the look and texture of a real stone. The sign is then painted and the raised letters and trim are finished with 22kt gold leaf. Designs & Signs also makes genuine stone carved signs, but sign foam is considerably less expensive and easier to work with, and because we can fashion it to resemble either wood or stone, it is the perfect material for most installations. Please contact us if you have any questions about our carved signs and gold leaf services. Please take a moment to review some photos of our sandblasted signs.

We, Burr Yacht Sales, have been dealing with Designs & Signs for 30 years which should tell you something. Our clients expect the highest level of quality and service for their transom names, quarter/name boards, ring buoy names, etc., and/or any custom request we may come up with. Their work is second to none and we look forward to many more years doing business.

These guys do a lot of our signs and design work for the Netflix series "House of Cards." They're able to turn things around on a dime, deal with last second changes, and the work has always exceeded our expectations and been spot-on perfect. Kudos!

Top quality signage. They got my job done right the first time, and for a good price. Gold leaf isn't cheap, but it's worth it.
