Common Signage Challenges

Does Your Building Signage Need a Better Presence?

A sign is often the first thing a customer notices. If it is unclear, dated or unsuited to the building, it works against the business rather than for it.

That is why businesses plan building signage around the site first — reviewing the frontage, then designing, building and installing a sign that fits the building, the street and the way the location is actually seen.

Signs that date the brand

Old, faded or mismatched signage makes a current business look behind the times.

Fixing and safety worries

Poorly mounted signs are a risk, especially at height or over a public entrance.

Wrong material for the site

What suits an indoor wall often fails outdoors, where sun, dust and heat decide.

Awkward fit to the building

Off-the-shelf sizes rarely suit a real frontage, leaving gaps and poor alignment.

Service Explained

What Is Building Signage?

Building signage identifies a property — its name, its address and the businesses inside — across the exterior and the shared areas.

Scale and placement matter most with buildings. A sign that is too small is lost on a tall facade, and one placed poorly is missed from the road.
