If your facilities are generally utilized at night, there are many factors you need to take into consideration as a facility manager. To protect the safety of guests and employees alike, you have to make certain that parking lot areas have plenty of light. Your building also needs to be easy to find after dark. Illuminated signs are the best way to do this. Thankfully, The Sign Center is one of the premier suppliers of exterior illuminated signs for facility managers. To find out more about what alternatives are available to you, read on.
Lightbox Cabinets
It may be time for you to consider lightbox cabinet signs if visitors keep telling you that they are having trouble finding your building or you find your facility just blends in with its surroundings. High quality extruded aluminum is usually used for the cabinet. Durable paint and powder coating are added to protect the cabinets from the harsh New Jersey weather. The plastic or acrylic push through elements give them their distinct appearance. And, we offer vacuum formed faces for extra strength.
Lightboxes are displayed in a variety of ways. They can be mounted directly to the side of your building. Or, we can mount the cabinet on top of a pylon near the entrance to your parking lot. Monument signs often utilize double-sided lightboxes.
LED Message Boards
A more jazzed up version of the readerboard you would typically see in front of schools or churches, LED message boards are cost effective and energy efficient. They are the perfect solution for any organization that needs to let its patrons know about information that is updated often. These message boards are easily programmable and can be controlled remotely from your computer.
Illuminated Channel Letters
Channel letter signs are one of the most requested exterior illuminated signs for facility managers. They can be found on the exterior of commercial offices, retail establishments, and industrial buildings. They are so popular due to their low price, versatility, and effectiveness. Channel letters can be mounted on a raceway or directly to the façade of your building. Raceways are popular among facility mangers, since they involve less drilling.
Channel letter signs come in many varieties. Standard front lit letters consist of aluminum frames with acrylic faces through which the light shines. An elegant effect is achieved with clear acrylic faces that allow the illumination source to be visible. Letters that have an open back are known as halo lit. A halo effect is created on the wall they are mounted to thanks to the standoff mounting.
