The restaurant industry requires a broad array of signage, especially illuminated signs for those that are open at night or those wanting to attract walk in or drive through patrons. Night time visibility, especially in busy retail corridors, is essential. It goes without saying that food the needs to be well prepared, the selection varied and of broad appeal. Other factors such as pricing, ambiance, décor, cleanliness and many more factors all are taken into account by potential patrons. But all of these factors won’t be considered if there is no marketing, advertising or signage to let patrons know how and where to find you!
One of our fabricators just shared some details about an upcoming installation project that will include a branded illuminated sign cabinet, a directional arrow (illuminated sign cabinet) identifying the drive through area, as well as individual back lit channel letters.
Typically, sign cabinets are formed using sheet metal which is cut with a CNC router into the desired shape. The metal used to form the sides, referred to as returns, is bent and into welded or machined into place. Similarly the acrylic or LEXAN face is cut and attached to the cabinet after the LED bulbs have been placed inside.
The illuminated channel letters require a minimum stroke width of approximately 1.25” in order to accommodate the LED bulbs. Individual channel letters can be front, back or both front and back lit. Like sign cabinets, or light boxes, the acrylic and aluminum used to fabricate them, is cut using a CNC router.
SignWorks is extremely careful to work with only well qualified and experienced fabricators, especially when it comes to electrical signs. Our staff is trained to perform site surveys in advance so we can plan and orchestrate such things as the permitting process, equipment needs, scheduling and all the related logistics. The pictures we take during our site survey are used by design staff to create renderings that allow the client to view what the finished sign project will look like once in place. We can resize, adjust scaling or changing the color scheme, prior to fabrication, and based on the intelligence gathered from the site survey.
Regardless of the type of sign project you are contemplating, we hope you will contact us for your upcoming sign project. You can be assured of a trouble free and well planned sign installation project. We can be reached by phone at
(510) 357-2000. And, since we’re also experts at design, fabrication and installation, you can be assured of an extremely efficient process. To learn more about SignWorks please visit our website where you can peruse our many project photos and blog posts.
