PROJECTING & HANGING SIGNS

Perpendicular signage for improved street visibility

Projecting and hanging signs are designed to extend perpendicular from a building or mounting point, improving visibility from both directions along a street or walkway. They are commonly used where passing footfall or traffic approaches from multiple angles and frontal signage alone is not sufficient.

This type of signage is particularly effective in busy commercial areas where visibility and wayfinding are critical.

Typical applications

• High-street shops and retail units
• Cafés, restaurants, and bars
• Hospitality venues and leisure spaces
• Historic streets and conservation areas
• Commercial premises with limited frontage

Projecting and hanging signs are often chosen to increase street presence and improve walk-by recognition.

How projecting and hanging signs are fabricated

Projecting and hanging signs can be produced in a range of formats depending on application, including flat panels, enclosed box signs, or illuminated lightbox constructions. They are typically mounted using brackets, frames, or suspension systems designed to support the sign’s weight and orientation.

Signs may be specified as:
• Single-sided or double-sided
• Illuminated or non-illuminated
• Fixed or suspended formats

Each project is produced to specification, considering size, weight, materials, illumination requirements, and exposure to the environment.

Mounting and installation considerations

Projecting and hanging signs are commonly:
• Bracket-mounted to façades or walls
• Suspended using rods, arms, or frame systems

They can be specified for indoor or outdoor commercial use, subject to appropriate materials and fixings.

Installation services are not provided. However, we offer technical guidance on mounting, fixing, and electrical requirements, and regularly coordinate with client-appointed installers to support correct implementation.

What affects lead time and cost

The scope and cost of a projecting or hanging sign will vary depending on:
• Overall sign size and format
• Single-sided or double-sided construction
• Illumination requirements
• Bracket or suspension design
• Material and finish selection
• Delivery destination

We manage specification and production through our manufacturing partners to ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality across each project.
