Wood Backboards

Elevate the prestige and durability of your signage with hand-finished solid wood mounting plinths.The presentation of an engraved plaque is defined by its frame. At Premier Engraving, we manufacture high-quality solid wood backboards designed to provide a dignified, traditional, and substantial border for your tributes and signage. A professionally finished wooden plinth not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a plaque but also provides a robust mounting surface for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Our backboards are custom-manufactured from premium timbers and are hand-finished by our experienced team. Whether you are mounting a small memorial tag or a large corporate opening ceremony plaque, we provide the perfect wood base to suit your requirements.

Premium Timber and Finish Options

We work with high-grade hardwoods to ensure a beautiful grain and long-lasting performance:

• Solid Oak: A classic and popular choice known for its strength and prominent grain. Typically finished with a medium stain to highlight the natural beauty of the wood.
• Solid Mahogany: Offers a rich, prestigious appearance. Often finished with a dark stain for a deep, traditional look that pairs perfectly with polished brass or bronze.
• Bespoke Staining: We can adjust the stain depth to meet your specific design requirements, ensuring your backboard matches the environment where it will be displayed.
• Exterior Protection: For outdoor use, every board is treated with protective coatings to help resist the effects of the British weather.

Custom Sizing and Edge Profiles

We do not rely on standard sizes alone. Every plinth is cut to complement the specific plaque it holds:

• Tailored Borders: We typically size our boards to provide a uniform border around your plaque, though custom margins can be accommodated upon request.
• Chamfered Edges: Our boards feature a professionally chamfered (bevelled) edge as standard, adding depth and a clean, sophisticated finish to the presentation.
• Standard and Large Formats: We can manufacture plinths to suit everything from 8″ x 2″ bench plaques to large A3 and bespoke-sized commemorative plates.

Versatile Mounting Applications

Our wooden plinths are used across a wide variety of professional and commemorative settings:

Ordering Options

We offer total flexibility in how you receive your mounting boards:

• Complete Assembly: We can supply your engraved plaque pre-fitted to the wood plinth, ready for immediate installation.
• Standalone Boards: If you already have a plaque and simply need a professional mount, we can manufacture the backboard to your exact dimensions.
