Deeper Dive & Resources

Discover detailed information about engraved components to make informed decisions for your commercial restroom design.

Some material-specific characteristics of engraving include:

  • High Pressure Laminate: Exposes a dark brown core for most laminates (color through / color core is an exception)
  • Compact Laminate: Reveals black core for most compact laminates (color through / color core is an exception)
  • Wood Veneer: Can be single or double-layered for engraving depth variation

Ironwood offers a suite of standard engraving patterns. We can also manufacture engraved partitions with full custom designs, providing flexibility depending on project needs.

Ironwood’s engraving patterns chart shows the available standard designs.

Engravings can be placed on both sides of doors or panels for a cohesive look.

Design file specification details include:

  • Preferred Formats: DXF, DWG
  • Accepted Formats: AI, CDR, GIF, JPEG (conversion fees apply)
  • Inside corners are limited by tool-dependent minimum radii
  • Avoid large clear areas to minimize visible tooling patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What file format is best for custom engravings?

    DXF and DWG formats are preferred, as they allow for smooth integration with our CNC programming. Other formats, like JPEG or AI, can be used but may incur additional conversion costs.

  • Can engraving be applied to both sides of a partition door?

    Yes, engraving can be applied to both sides of doors, panels, and other components, creating a cohesive design.

  • Does engraving affect the partition’s durability?

    No, engraving does not compromise the strength of the partition material. However, the level of detail may affect cleaning requirements.

  • How does the engraving process affect lead time?

    Custom engravings, especially those in non-standard formats, may extend lead times due to additional programming and tooling requirements.

  • Can patterns be engraved across multiple partition components?

    Yes, designs can continue across contiguous partition components for seamless visual flow across doors, pilasters, and panels.
