TRADITIONAL HONOUR BOARDS
Traditional honour boards include laquered and stained timber boards. These are often finished with elaborate edging and mouldings. Traditional honour boards are either finished with gold leaf lettering or gold contour cut vinyl letters. RSL clubs, Bowling clubs and Private schools are examples of institutions that demand proper gold leaf finishes. This is due to gold leafs high quality and very traditional look. Gold leaf is also the longest lasting of any lettering. Alternatively metallic gold vinyl cut letters are more cost effective but are long lasting but only if quality cast vinyl is used.
