Artisan-styled headstones and memorials

The procedure is straightforward. We employ a CO2 laser system to perforate the stone's surface with a series of dots, producing a range of results from sharp black and white to rich grayscale.

After completing the etching, we apply a white paint as a finishing touch to ensure the etching appears vivid and prominently stands out once it's in place.

Laser etching is best suited for black granite. While other granite colors can also be used, the intricacy and detail of an image may not be as precise. This is often due to slight particle differences between granite colors. Other colors may lack the necessary contrast to achieve a high-quality laser etching as well.

Laser etching can accommodate a wide range of imagery, including portraits, custom scenes, logos, and line art. However, the key determinant of the outcome is the quality of the provided image. A low-quality image will result in a correspondingly lower-quality etching.

Laser etching on granite is a permanent process because it engraves the stone's surface. Consequently, the etching will endure as long as the stone's polish remains intact. The only circumstances in which laser etching may be at risk of disappearing are severe damage to the stone or deliberate re-polishing efforts to remove it. The etching itself does not wear off over time, but in certain environmental conditions or when color or highlights are added, there may be slight fading of color over an extended period.
