The majority of business clients love the idea of acrylic as the material for their lobby signs. A part of the reason is that you have so many options open to you. Find out how acrylic panel lobby signs are made, and what are your options?
Acrylic Looks Like Glass but Does Not Have Its Brittle Qualities
Acrylic consists of crystalline polymers. These are clear and allow sheets to be easily mistaken for glass panels. However, they can be cut and carved, which you cannot easily do with glass. At the same time, we can give it the appearance of glass with beveled edges and a polished look.
Case Study: Falkenberg Ives LLP
Located at 230 West Monroe Street in Suite 2220, this law firm specializes in accounts, commercial, and healthcare litigation, among other cases. The office manager looked for an elegant sign that would underscore the interior decor and impress with understated elegance. Transparent acrylic with imprinted brand-focused letters made the most sense. We mounted this board with brushed aluminum standoffs.
You Can Achieve Depth with the Way the Lettering and Logo Go On
Printing the lettering right onto the material is an excellent way of creating a modern look. However, if you are looking for a way to make a stylish statement with colors and letters, we recommend the application of 3D letters or imprinted vinyl overlays.
This medical spa welcomes clients at 111 South Washington Avenue. It emphasizes safe and effective skincare products. We installed a frosted vinyl sheet to the back of the panel and a logo print to the front for this product. This results in a slight shadow play that adds depth to the lobby presentation. The lettering features polished 3D letters. Once again, we installed the sign with standoffs.
Illumination with Acrylic Signs is Possible
As you can see, acrylic panel signs are suitable for companies in any field. Whether you run a law firm or a medical spa, these boards do great with brand-building and marketing. There is a growing client group that now asks for illuminated signage. It is possible to add LEDs when constructing an acrylic panel and painting it in your brand color. Placing the illumination behind the board and along the edges allows for a fantastic look.
We opted for a slightly different construction method when putting together the sign. Our technicians began with a brushed aluminum panel and cut out the lettering. Next, we placed acrylic in the brand colors behind the metal. The final step was the installation of the LEDs, which now shine brightly through the colorful acrylic.
