THE SOLUTION
Traditional Aluminium Panel Signs
With all external signage, the level of exposure to all types of weather, and changes in temperature from direct sunlight or outdoor spotlighting needs to be taken into consideration. In this case, the added factor of being so close to the sea meant the signage needed to be incredibly hard-wearing, resistant to rust and salt, and UV-treated and professionally installed to handle the more extreme weather coming directly off the sea.
Wanting nothing but the best, and a fail-safe signage material, the SSBH team opted for the traditional and long-lasting aluminium panel post-mounted signs, each specifically tailored to its location. 3 signs in total were produced; a flat panel sign with fixing channels to be attached to an existing flag pole (see images above), a sliding panel sign for the main entrance gate fixed to existing posts, as well a panel sign with new post ground-sunk for visitor navigation.
Sliding Panel Aluminium Signage
Our aluminium panel signage is 2.5mm thick as standard and can be cut to any size or shape required with our state-of-the-art water-jet cutter.
Once prepped your panel can then be fitted with channels on the rear for post mounting, or drilled for wall-mounted or projecting signs. Another added feature is channels on the front to support a changeable sliding panel. This panel can be tailored to any size to show opening times and hours, if your business is closed, events, contact details - anything your require.
For that well-known long-lasting finish, we will then powder coat all panels in any RAL colour of your choosing.
Your signage design is then printed and mounted onto the prepared panel ready for installation. Vinyl applications are guaranteed for up to 7 years outdoors, and the aluminium signage is known to last 25+ years!
For SSBH, their main signage piece was powder-coated white front and back, with their decals and text in dark gloss blue. The sliding panel colours were inverted, powder-coated in dark blue, with a white gloss vinyl lettering applied on both sides.
RAL Colour Powder-Coated Posts
We can supply all posts, fixings and ground fixing concrete for pole systems for a complete signage installation, providing round, oval, rectangular or square posts in any RAL colour to suit your branding and sign size. Here we use one 75 x 75mm square post at 2000mm long, powder-coated to RAL9016 Traffic White. This is then fitted with a matching post-cap to finish the installation for the PARKING signage arrow tidily.
