We can produce anything from small wooden signs to huge timber monoliths, built to last and giving a superior alternative to aluminium signs.
Creating Bespoke Wooden Signs
We can create your wooden signs to your brief, giving a fully bespoke service. This might include cutting the wood to shape, or producing tongue and groove panels to produce larger wooden facia’s. Johnsons can offer visuals to show you how your signage will look, or we work to your own ideas and visuals.
We can look at the practical use of your signage, including the colour and choice of wood as well as the position and fixing. Our aim is to produce stunning timber signs that will stand the test of time with care before and after installation.
Wooden Signage with Cut Acrylic Text
There are a number of ways we can add text, logo’s and graphics to your timber signage. In this case, fine white acrylic cut text was added directly onto the timber. We can also add aluminium tray signs to give depth and a clear area for additional graphics.
Care is taken to produce long lasting wooden signs that fit your brief and be totally practical. Finishing the signage is as important as the design, and we’ll make sure your signage is built to the highest standards.

Wooden signs can often need a little more attention to look after over the years. However, many hardwoods like Idigbo have a very stable and attractive finish without varnish. However, oil or varnish will add life to your signs and we can help you with advice on how to keep your wooden signs looking great throughout the years.

Wooden Totem/Monolith signs


Which Wood is Used on the Monolith?
Our client requested an Oak finish on the signs. We were able to create a similar colour and grain to Oak, from Idigbo. This timber is very stable and is hard enough to take fixings extremely well. Although the Idigbo doesn't necessarily need to be treated, it does add to its durability and stability if a coating is added. Call us to discuss which treatment is best for your wooden signage.Double sided wooden monolith signs
Although the monolith signs were double sided, we also crafted a single sided version of the signs which could be attached to railings. Because this was a single sided wooden sign, the fixtures were finished on the back to a high standard, and painted to match the railings.

So There Are Different Kinds of Contra Vision?
There isn't one kind suits all. A 30% may be more effective than a 50% in some circumstances where the graphic is of most importance. Though there are films that give solutions to different problems.
For instance, this project for a major pharmaceutical company was produced using clear Contra Vision. And whilst production time is increased, cost of installation was dramatically reduced.
