SIGNAGE SOLUTIONS

Being the industry's most commonly used sign, the options are almost endless. They are the more cost effective option in comparison to metal letters.

Almost any size, font/type face/style, and color are possible, as plastic is the perfect material for creating custom styles that you envision for your signs. 

Plastic lettering can be used outdoors at or above a building's entranceway to display a business name or address, or indoors in a business's foyer along with the logo. They can also be layered on top of other signs, or designed flat, or with prominent features. 

Plastic lettering is also durable and quite resistant to fading, sun exposure and weather damage. 

​

Metal plaques communicate respect, dignity, prestige, and can be found in parks, malls, neighborhoods, historical landmarks and places, monuments, memorials, award ceremonies, cities and surrounding areas. 

They can be customized with unique brands, designs, images and texts, to create a timeless final product. 

Metal wall plaques can be found in offices, churches, retail stores, door signs, schools and more. 

Companies or clubs may use metal plaques to acknowledge achievements of employees, students or players. They may also be used to honor a legacy, feats, donations to non-profits, or as memoirs. 

​

They are elegant, stable, durable, with a unmatchable life span in comparison to any other sign types. 

​

Standoff signs are great for foyer entrances and walls, being both bold and professional. They are very popular in high-end workplaces and professional businesses. Our standoff signs are made of acrylic or glass, and capture attention with more depth and modernism than traditional wall-mounted signs. The difference is in the way that they are mounted. Instead of being mounted directly to the wall, pole or other support, which gives the sign a flat appearance, these signs are attached to brackets to mount them a short distance from the wall, giving them a 3D effect. This small distance gives more depth, and draws attention to the viewer's eye. Both aesthetic and functional, they capture attention as well as being solidly attached to the surface by standoff brackets, which sets them apart from other types of signage.

Well placed, properly labelled door signs can help create a productive and efficient workplace environment, by helping customers, workers and visitors to easily navigate your office area. They can also display business hours and any rules to follow. At Storm Signs, we can customize your door signs to match your brand, and specifics such as materials, colors, fonts, styles and finishes. 

Different types of door signs may include:

Name Plates: An effective way to display information on doors and offices.

Office Entrance: May help indicate push/pull doors, automatic doors, or restricted areas. 

Surgical Rooms: Inform patients and visitors of basic standards, service prices, point out waiting areas etc. 

Test or Exam Room: Signs may help control your area or facility to prevent unauthorized people from entering

Classroom: To help students, teachers, staff and visitors to navigate the campus.

Directional Signs: Directional signs are necessary to instruct visitors, guests and customers to navigate your facility conveniently and easily. 

People can use foyer/wayfinder signs to navigate around buildings and facilities to find their destination. They can range from large signs, floor and room number signs, or simple arrow graphics to point you in the right direction.

From the moment you enter a facility, the signs make the process easy to navigate, from directory signs, arrows guiding you along your path, to bathroom signs, office door numbers at your destination.

Some examples may include: 

Directories: These are larger signs or maps with a overview of the entire area, to help people locate where they are in relation to everything else, often shown with a small 'You Are Here' graphic. 

Floor & Department Signs: More complex and large buildings need signs on each floor to direct people to the correct department, and identification signs outside the entrances to let people know they are in the right area. 

Directions & Arrows: These small and simple graphics are the most common way finding signs. They may just be an arrow to point in the correct direction for people to go, or may include a few words like "This Way To Reception."

Name Plates & Room Numbers: Are often used to identify different individuals' offices or to find the correct meeting rooms.

Bathrooms & Exits: These are found in almost every building. They will usually all have similar graphics, so that people know at a glance what the sign is indicating. Wayfinding signs may be varied between hospitals, hotels, airports, offices, malls, schools and shops, but even smaller buildings need to mark at least the bathroom and emergency exits. 

​

Magnetic Menu Boards are a metal background that displays information on a magnet which allow you to add, remove, change and move around menu items easily. They are a very affordable way to keep items on the board, and to customize or change elements to suit your business's needs. The information displayed can be almost endlessly customized with the kind of information they display. Most commonly shaped as a square or rectangle, but not limited to that. They can be backlit, to be seen any time of day or night, and have text, logos, graphics, photos and other imagery easily integrated on to the board. 

Most commonly used in cafes, restaurants, food trucks and other food-related businesses, where the menu is constantly changing, and can be easily updated. ​

Frosted vinyl is a type of vinyl print that adheres to glass and windows. It looks the same as etched glass, but is much more affordable, requires less work to install and can be removed and replaced. 

Frosted vinyl can be used on cars, glass doors, windows and almost any glass surface to turn them into something more dramatic and decorative.

Even if you aren't looking for a full frosted window, lettering can be a great way to draw attention, and still allow viewers to see the inside when coming near. Logos, images, themed designs and much more are also possible to put on windows, without the expense of etching glass.

Neon signs are a very popular type of sign, because of their great visibility. Neon signs are electric types of signages, that are lighted by long gas-discharge tubes that contain neon or other gases, which illuminate when the electricity interacts with the gases. This produces a variety of colors and brightness levels depending on what kinds of gas are in the tubes, and the coating in the tube. They are cost effective, and draw attention to stand out from other businesses, even in a busy commercial setting. They are an ideal way to express your business image, professionalism, creativity brightly both day and night. 
Apart from just text, logos, graphics and custom designs can be created in neon, to draw attention and customer interest.

Fabric light boxes are types of sign where the design is printed onto a lightweight, highly durable fabric, which is then placed on top of a LED light box. It can then be mounted on top of walls or displays and lit up, which is certain to get noticed. Fabric light boxes are very  customizable to colour, size, finishes, brightness and so much more. LED lights are cost efficient to run as opposed to traditional lighted signs, and can on average last up to 10 years or longer. The fabric is also very durable, but if repairs are needed, it is usually very easy to do. They provide a very clear image from any angle and lighting, removing the glare that is often seen in glass, plastic or metal signage. The background lighting shows off consistent, solid lighting throughout the back of the design, as opposed to the often patchy lighting seen in fluorescent and traditional bulbs. These signs are often seen in airports, museums, malls, food service, corporate offices, trade shows, events, exhibitions and much more.  Some common types of light boxes are:

Snap Frame Light Boxes: These are very popular because they are lightweight, simple and versatile. The frame snaps open to securely hold your design. The LED lights provide even lighting to create a perfectly lit graphic display. 

Frameless Fabric Light Boxes: If you want to advertise your business, brand or product without a frame to interfere with the design, these signs are the way to go.

LED Acrylic and Backlit Panels: These lightboxes are lit with long-lasting LEDs that allow the design to be lit all day and night. The acrylic backing gives it a durable, firm support, at a low operational cost.

Non-Lit Frames: These have flip-up snap frames with a small depth for a low-profile installation. These are ideal for marketers that are frequently changing images, which save time by making print flipping faster without worrying about LED lights.

Metal lettering showcases a premium image, for premium brands. They are often wanted by businesses wanting to showcase a professional, high end image.

Also known as (3D) 3 Dimensional letters, they are most commonly flat metal characters cut out of aluminum, or stainless steel, joined together to form a sign. 

While metal letters are most commonly used indoors, they have a surprisingly long lifespan, even when outside. They are often mounted on the wall in a office foyer, or above reception, but look just as good on a storefront.
