Custom signs are a great way to make an impact for your business and professional sign fabrication services can make that happen. At L&H Signs, we are proud to bring your vision into reality through professional sign fabrication. But what goes into the creation of a custom sign that commands attention and communicates your brand message clearly?
How Sign Fabrication Works
Consultation and Design
It starts with consultation on the path of creating a custom sign. Our team of experts meets with clients to understand their needs, brand identity, and the message they want to get across. This crucial step allows us to gather all the information necessary for creating a design that will fit perfectly into what the client has in mind.
With the proper understanding of the requirements, our ingenious designers start work. The team creates highly detailed concepts and mock-ups, drawing ideas onto paper or screen. At this stage, often changes and revisions are made several times in order to perfect the design according to the customer’s requirements and the most apt presentation of the company’s brand.
Engineering and Material Selection
When the design is done, our engineering team goes into the detailed analysis of feasibility and functionality of the concept. This is a crucial step in ensuring that not only does the sign look good, but also meets the regulations and safety standards in your locality.
Material selection is another important phase of the sign fabrication process. We use a wide variety of materials according to design, location, and intended usage of the sign, including aluminum, steel, acrylic, and other lighting components. Proper materials will make a great difference in the durability, visibility, and overall effectiveness of the sign.
The Fabrication Stage
Now the fun part: turning it into reality with expert fabrication. The process of sign fabrication involves various techniques and tools, each one selected for the particular needs of the job.
Some of the common methods of fabrication include:
- Laser cutting: Accurate cutting of materials using high-powered lasers
- CNC routing: Computer-controlled cutting and shaping of materials
- Welding: Joining metal components to create rigid structures
- Channel bending: Shaping metal to create three-dimensional letters or shapes
- Printing: Placing graphics and text on a range of substrates
Our skilled craftsmen employ these techniques and many others to fabricate every aspect of the sign to exacting standards.
Electrical/ Illumination
In backlit signs, the electrical components represent key fabrication elements. The electricians mount wiring, LED modules transformers and controllers with care to ensure that all operations perform as intended, safely and to code.
The type of lighting to be used-LED, neon, and a number of other options in lighting-can greatly reduce visibility and the effectiveness of the sign at night.
Finishing Touches
Once the primary construction of the sign is completed, it’s generally ready for finishing. For most signs, this means painting, vinyl graphics, or other decorative touches that will enhance the aesthetic and durability.
This becomes an area requiring quality control in every aspect. Our team scrutinises each and every minute aspect of the sign to make sure the output that leaves our facility actually meets our strict standards.
Importance of Professional Sign Fabrication
Even though businesses contemplate taking a DIY approach or using some inexperienced maker of signs, there are plenty of reasons for availing professional sign fabrication:
Quality and Durability: Professional fabricators use high-quality materials along with methods that will make signs stand the test of time and weather.
Compliance: Experienced sign makers know their local regulations inside and out-and they’ll make sure your sign meets all the necessary standards and permits.Customization: Professional fabricators have the skills and the tools to bring even the most unique and complex designs to life.
Brand Consistency: A well-crafted sign helps maintain brand consistency across all your marketing materials and physical locations.
Expertise: Professional sign fabricators bring years of experience to the table, offering valuable insights and suggestions to improve your sign’s effectiveness.
The Final Step: Installation
The sign fabrication process doesn’t end when the sign leaves our workshop. Proper installation is crucial to ensure your sign looks great and functions as intended.
Our installation team safely delivers the sign to its exact spot and uses whatever is necessary in the way of tools and techniques to securely mount it in place. We take care to make sure each and every one of our signs, whether wall-mounted, freestanding, or complicated illuminated displays, are installed correctly.
