Blade Signs

Custom Blade Signs & High-Impact Projecting Signs for Maximum Foot Traffic

In dense urban environments and busy high streets, frontal signage is only half the battle. To truly capture every potential customer walking past, you need visibility from every angle. This is where Blade Signs also known as Projecting Signs become indispensable. These clever, double sided signs extend perpendicularly from your building, ensuring your brand is seen by pedestrians approaching from both directions. At Nova Pro Signs, we specialize in crafting durable, highly visible, Custom Blade Signs designed to be the focal point of your street presence. Discover how these elegant, space saving Hanging Shop Signs can dramatically increase your visibility and customer engagement.

Why Blade Signs are the Pedestrian Magnet

Unlike standard fascia signs (like Channel Letters or Acrylic Storefront Signs), which require users to look up, blade signs enter the pedestrian's immediate line of sight.

Key Benefits of Our Projecting Signs

• Double-Sided Impact: Every sign is visible to traffic approaching from both sides of the street, effectively doubling your advertising reach.
• Space Efficiency: They utilize vertical space, making them perfect for ground-floor shops or businesses with small frontages.
• Architectural Enhancement: A well-designed Projecting Sign can add a vintage, high-end, or modern aesthetic touch to your building's architecture, making your premises look more inviting.
• Bylaw Compliance: Our team is experienced in designing Custom Blade Signs that adhere to local council planning regulations concerning projection distances and height, saving you time and hassle.

Customization: Materials, Lighting, and Style

The versatility of blade signs allows for personalization across a wide range of materials and finishes. We craft every sign to match your specific brand identity:

Design Options for Hanging Shop Signs

• Illuminated Blade Signs: The most effective option for 24-hour visibility. We can use internal LED lighting to create a gentle, uniform glow, or use metal fabrication techniques similar to our Metal Backlit Signs for a stylish halo effect.
• Metal & Wood Finishes: For a durable, high-end look, we often use powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel frames. Combining these with a rustic wooden panel gives a classic pub sign aesthetic often requested for Hanging Shop Signs. We also produce non-illuminated versions using our 2D Metal Signs techniques.
• Shape and Size: From classic circular and elliptical shapes to highly detailed custom contours, the design of your Blade Signs can be as unique as your business.

Technical Considerations: Brackets and Installation

The stability of a Projecting Sign relies entirely on its mounting brackets. This is a critical factor for safety and longevity:

• Robust Mounting: We use heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum brackets that are structurally engineered to handle the sign's weight and wind loads.
• The Flange Mount: This is the most common and secure mounting method, using a decorative flange that bolts directly into the wall structure.
• A-Frame and Custom Brackets: For older buildings or specific architectural needs, we can fabricate custom scrolled brackets that add vintage flair while ensuring maximum safety.

Blade Signs vs. Fascia Signage

While every business needs a primary fascia sign, the Blade Sign fills a specific gap in visibility:

• Fascia Sign: Best for long-distance visibility and showcasing the full brand name (e.g., your address and full logo).
• Blade Sign: Best for close-range visibility and providing a quick visual identifier (e.g., just the icon or main product). They work together to create a cohesive and highly visible storefront.
