Don’t Overlook Your Neon Signs’ Installation Needs

Are you considering a fully customised neon sign for your business or other location? If so, you are making a wise choice. Not only is neon a solid investment due to its extensive life span (with many fixtures lasting decades on end), but also because it has genuine appeal.

If there is one way to attract the eye and bring potential customers in the door, it is to use neon signage that reflects the tone, message or general theme of the business. Think of an ice cream shop with basic signage, and then picture one with a well-designed neon sign of a tasty treat. Most potential visitors would be attracted to the unique signage in addition to the delicious ice cream inside. The same can be said for almost any space that can use neon signs, and yet before you rush out to order a handmade neon sign, give a bit of thought to the neon signs’ installation.

After all, there are some neon signs that have to be installed outdoors, and some that go behind oversized glass windows. There are some that hang against walls or mirrors and even some that stand on their own. How and where the lights are to be installed is as important as how they look and what they depict.

The finest neon light manufacturers will be able to tell you if your concept or design is suited to the neon signs’ installation needs. For instance, the signs are often high voltage units and need to be close to power supplies. They cannot be connected via an array of cords that barely meet their needs.

Additionally, you need to be sure that there is ample support for the actual weight of the sign. As an example, you may want to hang a neon light in front of a large pane of glass at the front of a store or café. The ceiling has to be strong enough to withstand the constant weight, and there must be adequate access to a power supply. A light can never by haphazardly installed, as this risks it falling or harming the surrounding area due to heat, electrical issues, and more.

The best manufacturers of custom neon lights often also offer support in installation. At Letragrafic, customers can learn all about the right designs for their installation needs, and even get professional installation to reduce chances of damage to the light, structure or both.
