Projecting and Blade Signs in Manchester — Double the Visibility, Half the Footprint
A standard fascia sign is visible to pedestrians and drivers approaching your premises head-on — but a projecting (blade) sign is visible from both directions along a street, capturing customers approaching from either side. On a busy Manchester high street or pedestrianised shopping area where shoppers are walking parallel to your frontage rather than towards it, a projecting sign may be more effective than the fascia above your door. Signs Company Manchester designs, fabricates, and installs projecting and blade signs across Greater Manchester.
Types of Projecting Sign
Flat panel projecting signs — The simplest format: a double-sided flat panel mounted on a bracket that extends from the building face. Available in aluminium composite, acrylic, or PVC — illuminated or non-illuminated. Cost-effective and widely used across retail and hospitality.
Box projecting signs — A three-dimensional aluminium or GRP housing extended from the building face, internally illuminated with LED modules. Visible by day and dramatic by night — the premium standard for retail and bar/restaurant frontages.
Hanging signs (pub signs) — A traditional double-sided hanging sign on a decorative iron or aluminium bracket — iconic in pub and hospitality settings. We produce both traditional illustrated hanging signs and contemporary graphic designs in this format.
Shaped blade signs — Custom-shaped projecting signs — circular, oblong, or entirely custom profile — cut from aluminium and finished in any colour or wrap finish. Distinctive and memorable on any streetscape.
Planning Considerations
Projecting signs that extend more than 1m from the building face (measured horizontally) require Advertisement Consent in most cases. In conservation areas, even smaller projecting signs require consent. We advise on planning requirements and can manage applications on your behalf.
