Here at Chalk It Up Signs, we love creating custom chalkboard designs for each of our clients. Every chalkboard is hand drawn and unique. We are known for our colourful and original style. And furthermore, CIUS has almost 20 years in the chalkboard designs business! That is a solid guarantee that when you reach out to us for a one of a kind menu sign, specials board, custom a-frame/sidewalk board or mural, we can deliver.
For example, check out the amazing colours and typography on this lovely general store board we sent to Montauk, NY!
Firstly, not only are our chalkboard designs one of a kind, but they can be sealed to last. Secondly, we have so many years in the business. Therefore, you know you are getting a sign that will not only impress your clientele but will withstand the years and elements. Check out our portfolio for an extensive look at our work.
And what about framing?
Framing your chalkboard makes it look even better. We recommend that all our chalkboards be framed. It adds weight and definition that draws the eye to it’s contents. If you can, frame every time. Imagine art in a gallery without a frame.
All our frames are hand made for each chalkboard. Our in-house framer uses 2.25″ or 1.5″ x 3/4″ vertical grain west coast fir in a mortise and tenon joining for a strong, clean, commercial quality frame. The sign is inserted 3/8″ into the frame to add stiffness and durability. On larger chalkboards where more rigidity is required we add a 1/4″ backing board or brackets. Fir will slowly age in color to a reddish brown tan.( the fir is collected from local forests, kiln dried and milled locally on Vancouver , Island)
Are you interested in getting your very own unique, one of a kind chalkboard design for your establishment? Call Dave today for a free estimate on a sign. We have high standards that show in our work. But above all, we are a small business with a big heart and an impressive resumé.
