Behind the Scenes of Building Signage

Building Signage is made of highly durable materials to form components such as alphabets, numbers and other elements which combine to create a complete signage display. Choice of font size and type, dimensions of the fonts, lighting and color are the main aspects of the building signage. When all the aspects combine, it offers a wide variety of options for the signage presentations.

This signage offers a better professional look for the viewers as well as it also reduces the cost of advertising. Well, it is kind of internal marketing where a business is putting their own advertisements, logos on their own building. Hence, it offers savings in cost plus more durability. Building signage is normally used for both indoor and outdoor areas. The creation and fabrication of a signage is a fun-filled process. This fun-filled activity is completed in the phases mentioned below:

Creation of the Building Signage

Design phase: The building signage production process begins with the design phase in which a designer lays out the design of the sign product using computer software.

  1. The design of the building signage can be drawn according to the customer specification, such as which design can they relate with their business, brand name and with the type of the business.

  2. Then the design is formatted to a production diagram and taken to the production shop as a blueprint where skilled craftsman constructs the actual building signage.

Production Phase: The production phase begins with the cutting of the raw materials from stock and then assembled to construct the signage. Many materials are used to create the building signage like acrylic, aluminum and many other materials as well.

  1. Usually acrylic is used for facing and comes in many solid colors. A variety of color graphics are used to create unique color displays especially for logos and branding elements.

  2. In the production phase, creation of the building signage begins with cutting the signage faces, sides and backs from the raw material. The craftsman uses a computerized router to precisely cut out the signage faces from acrylic material.

  3. Cutting of the letter sides is a hand-on task after careful measuring then the cutting is done. Then breaking side process is to be completed with the sides of the letters where the letters are bent to 45-degree angles which are used in the assembling process later.

  4. To ensure the durability and the safety, each seam is carefully sealed using several sealant components.

  5. If lightning is to be done, then first the letters are cleared and then with the help of LEDs the lightning is done such a way that it illuminates evenly throughout the building. This lighting helps attract the commuters towards the signage in the evenings.

Presentation Phase: A proper presentation configuration is done with the help of raceway. Once the signing letters are attached to the raceway then each of them is wired together through electrical components if lightning has been done in the building signage.

  1. The raceway provides the electrical components in environmentally safe and protective area for long life and limited maintenance for even extreme outdoor conditions including protection from water, ice and wind.

  2. Once the letters are mounted and wired to the raceway, the raceway finally serves as the foundation of the sign product which then gets mounted on to the exterior of the building wall or the signage frame where the sign will be publicly displayed.

This is how the building signage is developed to attract customers towards your business. The more attractive is the signage of your business, the more customers will get attracted towards you.
