External Signage Systems External sign solutions / systems Types and application Industry Application

harmonised exterior signage Exterior signage will often be the first contact that a visitor has with your organisation or premises. Signage schemes should welcome, inform, direct and protect. That vital first impression also speaks volumes about what the company represents and where its ethics lie.

Through building on our knowledge of market demand and embracing cutting edge developments in LED technology, we are bringing our customers signs and lettering that push the boundaries through their use of sustainable, beautiful illumination and backlighting.

External signage solutions demand a holistic, harmonised approach that addresses every issue, from aesthetics and navigation to corporate branding and image. With this in mind, we take time to analyse what the organisation and its environment calls for and using this knowledge to develop an architectural signage solution that will look and feel right.

Our full range of exterior signage solutions includes: Pylons, fabricated letters (illuminated or non-illuminated), sculptural signs, fascia signs, directional and way finding sign systems as well as bespoke entrance signs.

...signs with clarity and presence Fabricated lettering and free-standing corporate sculptures are, in the modern marketplace, considered the exterior sign-making standard, frequently specified by both designers and end users. In corporate organisations and estate facilities which demand clarity and presence, this solution can prove to be a highly worthwhile investment.

Whether you choose to go for illuminated signage or otherwise, all our products are designed to be low maintenance, durable and to complement their environment perfectly.

Illuminated Signage

24

Exterior signage solutions are designed to create impact. From subtle signs that enhance and blend with external landscapes to imposing, architectural structures that stand proud to welcome and inform. Whatever your needs, SignWriters make signs that are designed to make their presence felt.

Illumination has the ability to take signage even further. With the advances in LED technologies, SignWriters has devised a highly sustainable method of illuminating fabricated letters, glass and other architectural signage safely, effectively and above all, beautifully.

LEDs are safe, low voltage and virtually maintenance-free devices that consume less power and are substantially more energy efficient than traditional lighting methods, such as neon, a high energy product which is widely acknowledged as a pollutant.

LED has now become the illumination of choice for planning officers, largely due to its low power and lux levels. It’s a popular choice with our signage designers, too, who enjoy the effects that can be achieved using intelligent lighting techniques and cutting edge processes. Our fabricated letters can be supplied with full aluminium back trays for façade illumination, or with clear acrylic back trays to create a halo effect.

When you need a signage solution that knows how to make a statement, our

modular system is one of our most exciting exterior signage systems. With an elegance and presence that projects information and corporate identity beautifully, our system is designed to work in harmony with both contemporary and traditional environments with ease.

This versatile exterior sign system comprises a range of distinctive profiles that can be used inside and out. It’s a highly flexible solution that can be deployed as wayfinding signage, retail signage or as an eye-catching information point. This type of sign system is perfectly suited for a wide range of market sectors, from corporate and education to hospitality, leisure and retail environments.

Our heavy gauge fixing system has profiles ranging from 100mm to 600mm wide and up to 6000mm high, making it ideal for any application. Our products are available in either silver anodised, stove enamelled or powder coated finishes and can incorporate logos, text and graphics to suit your corporate style.

The modular system can also be combined with panels of toughened glass or acrylic to form single-sided or double-sided signs, and can be further enhanced using the latest illumination technologies featuring the most energy efficient lighting in the industry, creating eyecatching impact and flexible design solutions with a finish to rival any designer touches.

25

Monumental Signage The materials we work with offer a great diversity of options, although aluminium and stainless steel are certainly the most popular for fabricated lettering.

Aluminium is lightweight and offers the perfect solution for installation onto glazed areas or cladding panels.

In contrast, stainless steel is the most durable and versatile material and, if maintained regularly, will last for many years.

Acrylic presents a cheaper option for fabricated letter designs, but the use of this material type is limited to size.

26

Visit any residential, commercial, educational or industrial estate and you’ll no doubt be presented by a multitude of sculptural signs, styles and formats.

Monument signs shouldn’t have to dominate their environment or shout to be heard within their community. A well-designed, effective signage scheme will simply welcome and inform clearly and consistently.

With so much freedom and flexibility in signage design, every sign can be a unique architectural structure, custom-built to suit client’s requirements using a range of materials, finishes and lighting effects. In locations where it is demanded that a coherent ‘house’ approach to signage should be taken, it is possible to incorporate individual elements such as logos, texts and graphics within the prescribed format and style so you can truly make your sign your own.

Monument signs are instrumental in presenting that vital first impression by welcoming residents and visitors to their destination. As well as being eye- catching and informative, it is essential that your monument sign design reflects your company’s image and ethics, as well as upholding your brand image. This is corporate identity signage that works. Practically speaking, SignWriters monument signage is robust and durable, and has been designed to provide a low maintenance solution that will give years of outstanding external display.

Our entire range of exterior sign systems and bespoke fabrications are precision engineered and subjected to rigorous testing for wind and other environmental demands before being manufactured, to ensure they are fit for purpose.

It can be applied in numerous forms such as retail signage, corporate identity signage and way finding signage, and can be used in both internal and external spaces.

CONSULTANCY The way we work is never set in stone. For the vast majority of clients, we work directly with them in, providing a complete bespoke service. However, we are also happy to work with your architects, designers, brand teams and contractors, whatever works best for you. We are increasingly involved with the scheduling and design of internal and external sign packages for public and commercial buildings. This is a chargeable service and the resulting documentation - a schedule in database format, electronically marked up location plans, colour visuals of all sign types and budget estimates - can be used for tender purposes.

STAGE 1 Visit site and meet with owners, operators, contractors, architects and designers.

Agree the scope of works and carry out a Signage Survey of the building, which includes taking photographs and measurements.

STAGE 2 Prepare a first draft schedule, including marked up plans, as well as the development of sign visuals. Our initial discussions about your ideas will establish the full scope of design possibilities and price range.

STAGE 3 A second site visit, which will include a detailed review of schedule and plans as well as presentation of design proposals. This will also be our opportunity to ascertain installation requirements, including the need for any additional plant, permit to dig and request for the scanning of beried services. We can also project manage essential administration and negotiate planning applications on behalf of our client.

We specialise in bringing together all the various skills and services that are required, from ideas right through to final installation.

STAGE 4 Revise documentation and prepare budgets.

STAGE 5 ‘Sign off’ stage. Prepare tender documentation and issue in electronic format. We will also issue full O&M information upon request.
