Site graphics that can change with the project. Built-up letters create depth through fabricated faces and returns rather than relying on a flat printed panel. Their scale, return depth and spacing affect how the name reads from the pavement and how much shadow it creates.
Site entrances, contractor identification and directional signs should align with the current traffic and pedestrian plan. They suit fascia names, reception logos, feature walls and branded entrances where dimensional detail matters. Non-illuminated letters provide a material-led finish, while face or halo illumination can extend visibility into evening trading hours.
Outdoor exposure, site boundaries and changing routes affect fixing, visibility and maintenance.
Material choice, fixing and care should follow the conditions of your actual premises.
Survey the proposed sign position and viewing distance before confirming dimensions and fixings. Brushed or mirrored stainless steel, powder-coated aluminium and acrylic can be used separately or combined. Stand-off locators, rails and concealed studs are selected according to the backing surface, letter weight and whether cables must pass behind the sign.
Letter faces are cut from approved vector artwork, returns are formed to the required depth, and joins are finished before paint, polish or assembly. Spacing patterns and fitting templates are prepared from the approved layout rather than estimated on site.
Confirm site inductions, hoarding ownership, permits, public protection and safe installation windows before production. The substrate must be checked for level, strength and hidden services. Individual letters may be stud-fixed, locator-fixed or mounted to a rail; illuminated versions also require a planned cable route and accessible electrical components.
Metal and acrylic finishes should be cleaned with non-abrasive products. A retained spacing template and finish reference make later replacement of a damaged letter more consistent.
Construction signage has to identify the site, explain access and support changing phases. Hoardings, temporary boards and vehicle graphics are useful only when their dimensions, permissions and expected duration are clear.
Site entrances, contractor identification and directional signs should align with the current traffic and pedestrian plan.
