House Signs made from Marble
Like slate, marble is a metamorphic rock which has been subjected to an extreme amount of heat and pressure to create physical and chemical changes. Marble makes a great material to use as a house sign due to it being able to cope through the persistent effect of weathering conditions.
House signs that use marble look bright, clean and expensive even though marble is one of the most affordable materials to use. It is also widely available to purchase across the country within stores, fabricators and yards as well as ordering through an online stone store.
Marble is hugely available in different colours, including Brown, Black, Cream, Green, Grey, White and Red, which enables you to find the perfect colour to match your exterior while being unique.
