Our Work

Gloucester Cathedral

Project Pilgrim shows Ken White Signs partnership with Imagemakers at its very best!

We worked diligently to meet the expectations of Imagemakers and the client team, coming up with a series of solutions that were of a quality which reflect the outstanding beauty of this magnificent building.

Templating-Alcoves-900x900-01
Alcoves - Simon fitting

Of all the challenges, the least obvious was the profile templating for reproducing printed glass panels in the alcoves either side of the porch entrance. Each of the alcoves appear the same visually but they are so different when you are working to such tight tolerances. A manual process proved to be the only one accurate enough, we produced a drawn template which was scanned to create vector lines before dropping into our software for machine cutting. Five or six test fits were needed to ensure all was perfect for the customer.

A more obvious challenge was the bespoke finger post system, with the unique coil design proving a real “head-scratcher”. Manufactured totally in marine grade (316) stainless steel, the flat plate was force bent carefully around a solid cylinder and in turn welded to a collar which holds the finger on the pole, the fingers were then carefully sanded/grinded/blended to ensure no visible joint between the collar and the finger. Individual stainless steel text was then carefully bonded to both faces of each finger and the whole finger painted to corporate colour scheme.

Arguably the most eye catching of the solutions; stone cubes are prominently placed in front of the cathedral. Text and graphics are carefully cut from a rubber mask and in turn applied to the stones before sand blasting to create engraved feel. This work was all done on site using our mobile sand blast unit. Once sand blasted, all the detail was carefully filled with coloured resins.

Our ongoing working relationship with Imagemakers continues to provide a solid platform for reproducing creative sign solutions.
