Brunel Engraving is now using Corian to manufacture its new product range

“Corian is acrylic-based, which means it doesn’t fade or discolour and this makes it ideal for use as commemorative and memorial plaques and house signs which need to wear well over a period of time and are often exposed to the elements. Rain is said to clean Corian rather than weather it,” says Martyn Wright, managing director and founder of Brunel Engraving.

He continues: “It is also seamless, non-porous and stain resistant stone type of material which retains its finish and doesn’t dull with age. 

“It’s also fade proof, hard wearing and virtually maintenance free.

“It’s also a great material for engraving with a consistent quality and high density which allows us to reproduce a high level of detail and we are able to fill engraved areas with inks to achieve a variety of colour combinations.”

The new range consists of Quartz, Slate, Granite and Marble-effect variants and come with fixings and domed caps. 

The development is part of Brunel’s wide market expansion strategy as it looks to build on its some 26 years in business and current specialism in utilising brass, stainless steel, aluminium and acrylic for the manufacture of plaques, labels, nameplates, signs, and fascias.

Wright concludes: “We are delighted with the response we have had to the launch. There is no doubt that Corian is going to be a very popular product and an important addition to our product range.”
