Projects, Installation and Approvals

Can signs be installed on difficult surfaces like glass or metal cladding?

Yes, but special techniques such as suction mounts, brackets, or custom supports may be necessary for non-traditional surfaces. We think about installation while we design the sign, because access, fixing surfaces and site conditions can change what the best solution actually is.

What happens if the sign needs electrical work?

Qualified electricians usually handle electrical wiring during installation, ensuring compliance with Australian electrical safety standards. This is where we use a local supplier who we have worked with for over 12 years for all electrical compliance Our approach is to keep the recommendation practical: what will look right, perform properly and make sense for the budget.

Do installers provide warranties or guarantees?

Yes, we offer workmanship warranties and can advise on ongoing maintenance to prolong your sign’s life. We think about installation while we design the sign, because access, fixing surfaces and site conditions can change what the best solution actually is.

Do I need council approval before installing signage?

In many council areas, approval or permits are required for external signage, especially large or illuminated signs. If required, we can assist in obtaining these approvals. My advice is to check this early. Approval requirements vary by site and council, and it is much easier to resolve before we manufacture the sign.

What information do you need to quote sign installation?

Send us a clear photo, approximate dimensions, quantity, location, your logo or artwork and the date you need it by. If there are site drawings or brand guidelines, include those too. You don’t need to have every detail solved – send us what you have and we can work through the rest with you.

Can signs be installed on heritage or older buildings?

Yes, but heritage buildings often have stricter regulations. Installation must comply with heritage preservation laws and use non-invasive methods to protect the building fabric. We think about installation while we design the sign, because access, fixing surfaces and site conditions can change what the best solution actually is.
