Materials for Panel Signs:

  • Acrylic: Lightweight and available in multiple colors, finishes, and transparency options.

  • Metal: Durable options like stainless steel and aluminum, available in brushed, polished, or matte finishes.

  • Wood: Options like oak, walnut, or reclaimed wood add a rustic or classic appeal.

Mounting Techniques:

  • Standoff Mounting: Uses metal standoffs to elevate the sign panel off the wall for a floating effect.

  • Flush Mounting: Provides a clean, close-to-wall look, ideal for acrylic and metal panels in modern spaces.

  • Bracket or Frame Mounting: Surrounds the panel with a frame or bracket, providing extra support and aesthetic interest.

  • Size Variations and Local Ordinances:

    Panel lobby signs can range from small, subtle plaques to large focal-point panels. Common dimensions vary from 12” x 24” for compact logos to 48” x 96” for more prominent displays. Some city ordinances may regulate sign sizes in commercial buildings, so it’s essential to check local requirements.

     

Lit vs. Non-Lit Panel Lobby Signs

Non-Lit Signs

  • Advantages:
    • Cost-effective and straightforward to install.
    • Low maintenance.
  • Disadvantages:
    • Limited visibility in low-light conditions.

Lit Signs

  • Backlit Signs: LED lighting illuminates the entire panel, creating a glowing effect.
  • Edge-Lit Signs: LEDs around the panel’s perimeter create a modern halo effect.
  • Push-Through Lit Signs: Light passes through acrylic logos/letters for a dramatic appearance.

Advantages of Lit Signs:

  • Visibility: Great for 24/7 branding, even in low-light settings.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Adds a premium, professional touch.

Disadvantages of Lit Signs:

  • Cost: Higher initial investment and potential maintenance.
  • Installation: Requires electrical wiring, which can increase complexity.

 

Installation Considerations for Lit Lobby Signs

Before selecting  a Panel Sign that will be lit, it’s important to note that an electrical junction is required behind the wall or in the ceiling above to power the LEDs. We provide the necessary power supply (transformer), but adequate access in the wall and ceiling will be needed for wiring. Lighting the panel sign can significantly increase both the cost of the letters and the installation.

Cleaning Tips

Keep your logo sign beautiful!

Most all Lobby Panel Signs are mounted with Stand-off systems. Each Order will have a set of Stand-offs and Instructions on how to mount it to the wall. But we do offer options for a zip style mounting system. A zip mount will make your sign appear as if it is floating. However, the sign must not be see through so that the zip system stays hidden.

Caring for Metal Letters: Maintenance Guide for Longevity

Logo Signs from Bilt Signs are crafted for both indoor and outdoor applications, with maintenance varying based on material and environmental exposure. For all metal letters, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water is recommended. Harsh chemicals should be avoided to prevent damage.

  • Paint Scratches: Light scratches may be polished with car wax; deeper scratches may require fine sanding and re-painting.
  • Stainless Steel: Periodically clean with water and mild cleaner, as salt and minerals can affect the finish over time.
  • Anodized Aluminum: Clean with mild soap; avoid abrasives that could break the seal.
  • Acrylic & PVC
    Dust First: Remove dust with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the acrylic. Use Mild Soap and Water: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Apply gently with a soft cloth. Avoid Abrasives and Chemicals: Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia or alcohol, which can damage the acrylic. Dry with a Microfiber Cloth: Dry with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent streaking.
    Use an Acrylic Cleaner: For stubborn marks, use a designated acrylic cleaner for added safety and shine.

 

Routine maintenance will preserve the appearance and durability of your signage.
