Lettering in granite

For the forging of the letters we use only tried and tested tools which guarantee the best quality.

Hand forging of letters with wedges

work by hand

Jak to jest robione

We offer the hand forging of letters, and it cannot be replaced by any other technology. Hand forging of letters allows to bring the depth of every inscription. Firstly, we design every inscription by drawing it directly on the gravestone, and then we begin the many hours’ work.

Projekt

In the case of complex shapes, we make a computer visualization of the inscription before making the lettering (there is a photograph of the gravestone in the background). We can send the project to the customer so that he or she can accept it or make another changes.

Sandblasting of letters

Excellent reproducibility

How it's made:

We also use the technique of sandblasting in order to make the lettering. This technique allows to make shallow engraving with sharp edges. We can sandblast any engraving and a text in any font (the style of the letters).

Project

We are able to create a 3D sandblasted finish, as seen in the photo.

Milling CNC letters in stone

The most precise way of creating inscriptions in stone is by milling them with specialized diamond milling tools. This ensures the highest quality. Letters can be crafted with a "V" groove or, in the case of very large letters, the bottom of the engraving can be flat.


What typeface and graphics for a memorial?

We offer a wide selection of memorial typefaces (also referred to by many as memorial fonts), which can be categorized as follows:


Gravestone Conservation

It is best to wash a granite memorial with plain, clean water. If necessary, a drop of dishwashing liquid can be added. Do not use any pastes, especially greasy or corrosive ones, as they may leave permanent, even impossible to remove stains.

Conservation of Memorial Letters

In the case of letters, as with the entire memorial, it is best to rinse them with clean water with a little dishwashing liquid, unless the inscription is gilded. Do not use any chemical agents on gilding. Only a gentle wiping of the gilded surface with a cosmetic pad is permissible.
