Choosing the Right Honour Board

We want to ensure you get the right honour board for your needs and space, so we have created this information to help you determine the best solution.

Honour Board Width Determination

Generally, we allow 300mm of width per column. So three columns = 900mm wide..

Columns could be 250mm wide, but space may be limited for very long names.

If a date column is needed, we can accommodate it within the 300mm.

If you require title holder boards with double date (2021-2025), then we add 100mm to the column size (400mm per column)

Honour Board Height Determination

Now that you know the width, you can determine the height by considering how many names should fit on the board. How many years do you want the board to last? If you think forty years is suitable, then it's simple math. First, let's apply space for the heading and bottom border.

150mm for the top and 5cm for the bottom. Ok, so 200mm for titles and space.

Each name is typically 13mm high, with a space of approximately 7mm between them. So we will call it 20mm per name. 

Doing The Math

Requirement Height
Header and Footer Space 200mm
40 x Names 800mm
Total Height of Honour Board 1000mm

So, if you want an honour board that has three columns/titles and lasts for 40 years (lines of names), your board will be 900mm wide x 1000 mm high.

Honour Board Colours

We offer a range of standard finishes, but can also colour match existing boards. You can have any colour you like. Colour matching or custom colours incur set-up costs.

For colour matching of existing boards, we can't guarantee exact matches as we will work from a photo, and different stain brands finish differently. That said, we usually do get reasonably close to your existing colour.

The honour boards are satin finished to avoid reflection.

Updating Your Honour Board

We offer an Honour Board name updating service across Sydney, but updating names yourself is simple too. We provide easy to follow written instructions and a how to video to guide you through the process.

All our Honour Boards are designed for easy updates using our registration system. We record your board’s exact measurements and spacing so future updates always match perfectly.

When you order new names, we supply them in vinyl or metal, complete with alignment tools to ensure straight, evenly spaced application. For metal plate boards, we include grooves or position markers, and every plate comes with an adhesive back for easy installation.

Honour Board Installation

We offer an installation service in the Sydney Metropolitan area and may be able to help with installations Australia wide.

Mounting Options

Traditional Honour Boards are supplied with a timber hanging bar system for secure wall mounting. This system consists of two interlocking timber braces - one is pre attached to the back of the board, while the other is supplied separately for fixing to the wall. Once in place, the board slots neatly into position for a flush, stable fit.

Contemporary Honour Boards come with your choice of a hanging bar or stylish metal standoff pins. These pins not only hold the board securely but also elevate it 25–50mm from the wall, creating a modern, floating effect.

Smaller Honour Boards are fitted with hanging hooks, making them easy to mount in a variety of settings.
