Granite Lettering
There are two primary elements to consider when choosing your lettering. The first is the style of font itself, and the second is the font finish.
Font finishes add style, elegance, and clarity to your lettering.
Standard text cut into the stone.
The letters are carved with a standard V-Cut, while the stone immediately surrounding each letter is polished to a shine. Typically there is a frosted panel surrounding the text which makes the polished edge “pop” from contrast.
The letters are formed by “skinning away polished granite” which provides a contrasting natural stone finish. This process is also known as Frosting.
The letters are formed by Frosting/Skinning the polished granite while sandblasting a V-cut outline around each letter.
The letters remain polished granite while the surrounding stone is frosted for contrast with a V-cut outline around each letter.
The letters are V-Cut into the granite and then the surrounding edges of each letter are frosted against a polished background.
For greater contrast between lettering, carvings and the surrounding stone, there is a process called tinting, which is similar to painting the stone with a silver, black, gold, tint.
