At UK Memorials, we pride ourselves on crafting bespoke memorials that are reflective of the loved ones that our customers are honouring. As a result, we have crafted some truly unique pieces over the years – memorials that we are proud to have brought together using a blend of traditional and modern crafting methods by our top-performing craftsmen. Because of the expertise within our team, we enjoy trialling new techniques that enable our memorial tributes to meet and exceed expectations.
Being client-led pushes us to be constantly looking to better the way we approach crafting our memorials. Most recently, we found that individuals were approaching us wanting clearer imagining and refined details to push the design of their memorials to the next level. Impact engraving has proved itself to be the best way to achieve the results that are greatly sought after.
The Process Of Impact Engraving
You might be wondering what makes impact engraving different from other engraving techniques? How does impact engraving mark with great precision that standard engravers? Ultimately, it is thanks to the work of a high-speed needle that enables the impact engraver to work to such proficiency. The consistent finish of impact engraving is crafted by the needle repeatedly piercing the surface of the material. Though granite is the material that we trialled this new technique on – we hope to experiment with impact engraving across different stone types to see if it proves successful for other memorials too.
We have been using this new machine for a few months now, and we have received some great feedback about the designs crafted by impact engraving. Despite using this same technique across a number of pieces, each design has a unique appearance (check out our gallery here) as we are able to alter the needle movement’s strength and frequency. These alterations mean that our team can create character and depth with designs, particularly images, and we can craft memorials that are exquisitely detailed.
Working With Uk Memorials
Crafting a unique memorial is about more than just the design, we also believe that the craftsmanship of these pieces can make a substantial difference. We want your memorial tribute to stand out for all the right reasons – something that we hope we achieved across all of the signage that we are privileged to work on.
