United States — Memorial & public walls

Walls that have to
carry names for decades.

Veterans walls, donor recognition, civic monuments and cremation-garden name walls. Granite panels, engraved and filled here, laid out so the names still line up when the next hundred are added in five years.

Sandblasted & filled Gilded or painted Panels laid out for additions Curved and straight runs Setting drawings supplied

Twelve kinds
of public work.

Most projects are one of these, or two of them together — a wall with a cenotaph, or a plinth system with benches alongside.

Letter height decides
how many names fit.

Panel size is the easy part. The real question is how far away the names have to be readable — that sets the letter height, and the letter height sets the count.

Large letters Letter height1 in / 25 mm LayoutTwo columns Per panelAbout 40 names Reads from across a plaza. Dedication text and headline names.
Standard Letter height3/4 in / 19 mm LayoutTwo columns Per panelAbout 70 names The usual donor and veterans wall setting.
Compact Letter height1/2 in / 13 mm LayoutThree columns Per panelAbout 150 names Long name lists read from a few feet away.
Dense list Letter height3/8 in / 10 mm LayoutFour columns Per panelAbout 260 names Archive-style listing, close reading only.

Counts above assume a panel around 36 × 24 in and ordinary name lengths. Send the actual name list and the layout proof comes back with the real count, not an estimate.

Plan the second hundred
before you cut the first.

Nearly every wall gets added to. Decide now how that happens and the additions look designed rather than squeezed in.

Blank space reservedPanels laid out with the last columns left empty, so new names continue the same setting.
Replaceable panelThe panel lifts out of the plinth and comes back to us to be recut with the full list.
Add-on plaquesSmall plates fixed to the plinth or a second run of panels added alongside.

A misspelt name
is a replaced panel.

So the layout goes back to you at full size, with every name as it will be cut, and nothing is blasted until that proof comes back signed.

One stone,
seen end to end.

Panels sit edge to edge, so any shade drift shows. Blocks are reserved for the whole run and for the phase you expect to add.

Name scheduleSend it as a spreadsheet, one name per row, exactly as it should read. We do not retype from images — that is where errors start.
LetteringSandblasted and filled with enamel, or gilded. Seals, logos and unit crests cut from vector artwork.
PanelsStraight or radiused, dropped into a plinth or anchored to a backing wall, with concealed stainless fixings.
AdditionsLayout kept on file so a later run matches font, spacing and depth — not just the same font name.
SettingDrawings with panel weights, anchor positions and joint widths so the contractor can build the backing before the container lands.
PackingPanels numbered to the elevation, faces boarded and foam-separated, crates in setting order.
