Vitreous enamel signs, built to last
We design and manufacture vitreous enamel street name signs, house number plates and institutional signs. Fired at high temperatures, the enamel provides excellent weather resistance and retains its colours for decades.
We design and manufacture vitreous enamel street name signs, house number plates, building and institutional identification signs, as well as informational and decorative plaques. Our range includes traditional designs inspired by Europe's historic street signage, alongside contemporary styles tailored to the architecture and visual identity of each location.
Our signs are made from steel sheet specially suited to enamelling, coated with several layers of vitreous enamel fired at approximately 800°C. This process creates a surface with excellent resistance to UV radiation, weather exposure and temperature fluctuations. The colours retain their appearance for decades, while the smooth, glass-like surface is easy to clean, including the removal of many types of graffiti.
Dimensions, shapes, colours and graphic details can all be customised to meet the client's requirements. We can incorporate coats of arms, logos, place names and other identifying elements. Depending on the design, signs can also be manufactured with embossed edges, giving them a traditional appearance and increased rigidity.
We manufacture everything from individual signs to production runs of several thousand units. For street signage projects, we can manage the entire process, from assessing requirements and determining sign locations to design, manufacturing and installation. Our experience and production technology enable us to deliver large-scale projects while maintaining a consistent visual identity across signs of different sizes and with different inscriptions.
From our workshop.
What our clients want to know.
What is true enamel, and how does it differ from paint?
Enamel is not a paint applied over metal but a layer of molten glass, fired onto steel at over 800 °C. It becomes part of the sign, not a film on top of it — which is why it does not fade, does not peel and never needs repainting.
What kinds of enamelled signs do you make?
Street signs, house numbers, plaques for historic monuments, institutional and commemorative plaques, wayfinding signs, coats of arms and emblems, as well as clock dials — from a single bespoke piece to runs of thousands.
How long does an enamelled sign last outdoors?
Decades. Enamel stands up to sun, rain and frost, to UV, corrosion and even salt air on the coast. The same technology has stood behind tower-clock dials for over a century.
What maintenance does an enamelled sign need?
Practically none. It never needs repainting; an occasional wipe is all it asks for.
Can you make bilingual, coat-of-arms or full-colour signs?
Yes. We make bilingual signs and coats of arms and emblems in full-colour enamel; material, size, colours, quantity and language are settled for each project.
Do you deliver outside Romania?
Yes, we deliver across Europe.
