We received a call from The Henry to estimate a sign project for their newly aquired company located in LaGrange, Ohio. The project called for directory signs installed around the facility and exterior building signs including large blue dimensional letters and flat panel signs. Below are pictures and a run down of project details.
Once we received their plan, we went to work reviewing and determinng an estimate. Because we were responsive and timely with the estimate, we won the opportunity to fabricate and install all of the signs. The project included various business signs including directory signs on the exterior of the building as well as on the interior. We also installed exterior channel letter signs and a flat panel sign in the dock area.
The directory signs for the interior and exterior were cut from poly metal 1/8" thick. Typically there are 2 brands we use either Maxmetal or Dibond. There is a thin layer of aluminum on each side and a PVC core in the center. It is durable and long lasting for exterior use and tough for interior industrial areas. Poly metal will come in 4 x 8 foot panels. We cut those down to size and applied full color digitally printed vinyl and laminate for protection to create the directory signs you see in the pictures.
The large blue Henry sign you see are called channel letters. typically these are used as illuminated letters you see on top of retail building stores in plaza's. For this project we left the LED bulbs out and bolted the letters through the inside directly to the building. The back and sides are made of aluminum and cut and shaped with various machines. the faces are made with acrylic. In this case a special blue color was used to match their corporate logo. The acrylic can come in various standard colors or in some cases have vinyl applied and yet other case they can be painted.
Once we secured the project plans we visited the plant and walked through all the areas for the sign implementation. We took pictures, noted space sizes and checked for obstacles that may be in the way. We then ensured all plans including installation were determined ahead of time so when the signs came out of production we were ready to execute. The result was a resounding success as you can see in the pictures. The general manager was pleased with the results and even ordered another sign project for the other side of the building. Previously their building virtually had no identity. Now when you drive down the street towards their manufacuring plant, you can clearly see their name on the building and it delivers the impression that it is a professional organization. And when you drive onto the location, you can see clearly and confirm the location of the building entry points and truck drivers are clearly directed towards the dock area.
