What is involved in signage installation?

Getting your business signage designed and manufactured is not the end of the process – there is still the matter of installation. This is the part that many firms forget about, but poor installation will undermine the impact of a sign. Keep reading to find out what is involved in good installation.

Site preparation

Before the sign is installed, a survey of the site should be carried out. This will examine the chosen space to highlight any problems that might arise during installation. It will also allow those conducting the work to see if there is a better alternative spot. The installers will measure the space to make sure the sign fits and check that it is the optimal placement for it.

Legal preparation

The next stage in the preparation process will be to secure any planning permission needed. This can involve filling out quite a lot of forms and providing supporting evidence. It is one reason why some firms choose to have their signs installed by professionals, who are experts in what is needed to get permission.

The installation

Once the site is ready and the paperwork complete, it will be time for the actual installation.

There are three factors that need to be considered: durability, visibility and safety. The sign has to be at the correct height, made of materials that will last and installed to ensure the safety of the public. If it is illuminated, that part should be handled by qualified electricians.
