Notes From The Workshop

Practical write-ups on materials, finishes and the decisions that decide how long a sign lasts.

Materials

A rough rule: 25mm of cap height for every 10 metres of viewing distance. Here is how approach speed and mounting height change that number.

Fabrication

Water finds the seam between face and return long before it touches the acrylic. What trim cap and epoxy fill actually do.

Materials

Salt air is unforgiving. The grade upgrade costs less than the second sign, and there is a simple way to decide which you need.

Wayfinding

Modular systems with slide-in inserts pay for themselves the first time a department moves floors.

Safety

Engineering grade, high intensity and diamond grade sheeting do not cost the same, and they do not perform the same at 2am.

Interiors

Media choice matters more than print quality when the surface is not flat. How to avoid edges lifting after a month.

Send us the elevation, a photo or just the dimensions. We will come back with material options and an honest price.
