FAQ
What is slate made from?+
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed under immense pressure and heat, typically originating from shale or mudstone. Welsh slate is particularly prized for its quality and durability.
How durable is engraved slate homeware?+
Slate is naturally quite hard-wearing, but the engraved surface is more delicate than the unworked stone. Handle with care to avoid scratching and always use coasters when placing items on surfaces.
What tools can I use to clean my slate engraving?+
A soft cloth dampened with warm water is generally sufficient for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, which could damage the engraved surface.
Can I engrave initials only?+
Absolutely! We have a variety of sizes available to accommodate single initials, pairs of initials, or longer names and messages. Check the product description for maximum character limits.
Are there any colour variations in the slate?+
Due to the natural origin of slate, slight colour variations are common. These variations add to the unique appearance of each piece and shouldn't be considered a defect.
What is the typical lead time for engraving?+
Lead times vary depending on the manufacturer’s production schedule and order volume. Amazon typically lists estimated delivery dates based on their fulfillment times, which can usually be found on the product page.
Can I engrave numbers and symbols?+
Yes, you can! Alongside letters, our engravers can work with a wide range of numbers and common symbols to create your desired message. However, complex or unusual characters may incur additional charges.
What is the minimum size for engraving on coasters?+
The smallest practical size for engraving on coasters is approximately 15mm x 10mm. Smaller inscriptions might not be as legible due to the limited space and the texture of the slate.
Does the engraving always face a particular direction?+
Generally, engravings are placed with the most prominent surface facing upwards, but this can be discussed and agreed upon beforehand when ordering from the manufacturer via Amazon.
What if my engraved item arrives damaged?+
Please contact Amazon directly to report any damage or defects. They will handle claims according to their standard returns policy for items purchased through their platform.
