Honour Boards

Everything You Need to Know Before Mounting Your Honour Board

The world over, in hundreds of schools and sports organisations, you may find wooden honours boards that are exhibited to celebrate the service and success of previous students, winners, and performances. 

Light Oak, Sapelle, and Walnut American are the three varieties of wood that go into their production. Signworld Group provides the honours board in both conventional and custom dimensions, and you also have the option of having it made out of real oak mouldings (or other wood as appropriate). Please continue reading if you are interested in purchasing new boards but first would want to have an idea of the available possibilities, as well as the pricing and typical sizes. 

We hope that the information that is provided here is helpful to you and provides you with a clearer picture of the alternatives that are available to you.

Types of Woods For Honour Boards

Light Oak

The origin of light oak may be traced to Western Europe. It is easily distinguished because of its light hue and straight grain pattern, both of which are recognisable characteristics. In addition, prior to sanding, the surface is far smoother than that of the other two kinds of wood. 

The distinction, dates, winners, and other relevant information is often shown using black vinyl writing. Hence, it is not advisable to use gold vinyl writing against the light colour of the wood because it is likely to be overlooked. 

The samples of light-coloured wooden boards that we have shown in our galleries should, with any luck, give you an idea of the kinds of boards that we have lately made to fulfil the needs of our customers. Because we store this wood on-site, we are able to create it in any size or form.

Sapelle Honours Board

Hardwood sapelle has a grain structure that is stringy with a rich reddish-brown colouration. It is valued for both its strength and its durability, and it originates in Africa. The new honours board has been given a coating of clear lacquer as a finishing touch, and this has brought out a stunning sheen in the colours, which has made it a popular option for use with gold vinyl graphics. Additionally, we can design your logos and include them on the honour board. We are happy to share the news that engraved logos may be put on any of these three varieties of wood.

Walnut 

The name "Walnut American" derives from the continent of North America. In addition to being easier to carve than sapelle, the colour is a deep brown and the texture is appealing. In contrast to the darker backdrop, gold vinyl writing or, if you're searching for designs that are easy to read, cream vinyl text, looks just fantastic.

The choice of which kind of wood to use is entirely up to the individual. We provide our honour boards at the same pricing point regardless of the kind of wood you choose, so if you have any questions or need any assistance determining which option to go with, feel free to give us a call. 

You may reach us by calling the number 01244 661919 and we would be pleased to assist you. If you would like, you can also send us an email at info@signworldgroup.com. As a third choice, you may get in touch with us via our website, which not only provides a wealth of information but also provides online contact options.

We are certain that our product has an exceptional level of quality. Each of our honours boards is crafted one at a time by hand here at our establishment. Each newly constructed honours board has had a number of coats of lacquer put to it in order to ensure its durability. 

You won't find greater value or quality anywhere else, especially considering the variety of wood varieties available and the speed with which orders are processed.In addition, we cover any defects in the wooden frames for up to six years of regular usage under our warranty on these products.

Different Types of Honour Boards

If it's an honours board, then you can count on us to participate! Throughout the more than half a century that we have been in business, we have been producing honour boards for a variety of nations, an embassy, five-wicket hauls, hole-in-one boards, test matches, a record of donations, top goal scorers, and founders of a football stadium, in addition to the many hundreds of boards that are currently on display in company dressing rooms, sports clubs, school halls, and other locations.

In the event that it helps with ideas and inspiration, we have many examples available in the archives.

How Long Does it Take to Deliver?

In most cases, the delivery of wood boards will take place within three weeks. Acrylic awards boards are prepared more quickly. We haven't missed any deadlines yet, but if there are any dates that are particularly significant to you, do let us know. The majority of the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, may have their orders delivered to them. Shipping to international destinations is also an option but at an extra expense.

Shipping Services

Our honour boards are delivered directly to your house, club, or location by internationally renowned courier services (not by a single individual in a van), not by hand. Every board is given its own dedicated protective sleeve before being sent out. After your honours board has been delivered to you without incident, the only thing left for you to do is hang it on the wall using the mounting plates that were provided for you.

Honour Board Mounting Choices

In the event that it is necessary, we would be more than happy to set up your new board for you. Our teams have passed a complete DBS check (and carry picture ID) and have at least the minimum qualifications required by the CSCS (construction skills certification programme). 

The honour boards will be brought with us when we meet at a time and date that is convenient for you to finish the work that needs to be done. After they are done, the job appears as if it were never touched.
