Boost Visibility and Foot Traffic with a Projecting Sign

A projecting sign — also known as a blade sign — extends perpendicularly from your building, making it visible to pedestrians approaching from either direction. Where a flat fascia sign can only be seen head-on, a projecting sign catches the eye from further along the street and draws people in.

At Signstar, we design and manufacture bespoke projecting signs for businesses across London and the UK. From traditional bracket signs and illuminated lightboxes to contemporary aluminium and acrylic blades, we produce signs that work for your building, your brand, and your environment.

Everything is made in-house and installed by our own team — so you have one point of contact from the initial brief through to the finished sign on your building.

Bespoke Projecting Signs for Every Business

Projecting signs are one of the most effective ways to increase visibility on a busy street. They work particularly well for businesses on the ground floor of multi-occupancy buildings, where space on the fascia is limited, or where foot traffic approaches from the side.

We manufacture projecting signs in a range of materials — aluminium, stainless steel, acrylic, and timber — with a variety of finishes including powder-coated colours, brushed metal effects, and custom-painted options. Illuminated versions using LED lighting are available for businesses that need visibility after dark.

Our team handles everything from design and manufacture through to installation and any required planning applications — so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★
Signstar installed a very impressive text sign for Builder Depot New Southgate on the buildings shell, 20m high. The initial stages of the design were thoroughly discussed and we were supplied high quality digital mock ups. Installation was completed without a hitch, very quickly and just in time for Christmas. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Great communication, great attitude and a really fantastic sign which perfectly fit the brief.

I have used Mitch and his team for all my business requirements, from my shop signage, business cards to my company shirts. Their customer service is second to none, they take the time to go through my exact requirements and answer any questions I’ve had. I am also using them to wrap my company vehicle too. I would recommend them 100%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

What is a projecting sign and how does it benefit my business?

A projecting sign — also known as a blade sign — is mounted perpendicular to a building façade, making it highly visible to pedestrians and passing traffic. It helps businesses stand out on busy streets, improves brand visibility from multiple angles, and attracts foot traffic by catching the eye of potential customers who might not see traditional flat signage.

Are projecting signs suitable for all types of businesses?

Yes, projecting signs are versatile and ideal for a wide range of businesses including retail shops, cafés, restaurants, salons, and offices. Their prominent placement and customisable design make them effective for both modern and traditional storefronts, helping businesses communicate their presence clearly and professionally.

Can projecting signs be illuminated for nighttime visibility?

Absolutely. At Signstar, we offer illuminated projecting signs using energy-efficient LED lighting to ensure your brand remains visible after dark. This is especially beneficial for businesses operating in the evening or located in areas with high nighttime foot traffic, enhancing safety and brand recognition.

What materials and finishes are available for projecting signs at Signstar?

Signstar provides a wide range of materials including aluminium, stainless steel, acrylic, and timber. You can choose from powder-coated finishes, brushed metal effects, or custom-painted options to match your brand identity. Our signs are built to be weather-resistant and durable, ensuring long-term performance and visual appeal.

Do projecting signs require planning permission?

In many cases, projecting signs do require planning permission, particularly in conservation areas or on listed buildings. We advise on the requirements for your specific premises and can manage any necessary council applications on your behalf.

How long does a projecting sign last?

With quality materials and proper installation, a projecting sign should last many years. We use weather-resistant materials and finishes built to withstand the outdoor environment — and because we manufacture everything in-house, we stand behind the durability of every sign we produce.
