Big warehouse signage
Has anyone ever done any very big lettering on a warehouse or factory? We have to quote for doing company name and other text in 4 or 5ft high letters plus a big circular logo that will be about 15ft across.
We’ve done 2ft plastic lettering with templates and locators on brickwork before but this is going to be on corrugated sheeting.
What is the best way to do it?

how high will the sign be?
will it be flat lettering or buil-up 3d letters?
how will you gain access to fit it? ladders/scaffold etc?
has it to illuminated in anyway?
what do you plan making the letters from?just some questions…

It will be flat cut letters and about 30ft up. Not sure whether to use plastic or aluminium,

Personally I’d make them out of 3mm dibond/reynobond and use countersunk screws through the face of the letters into the cladding. Than put little circles of matching vinyl over the heads to hide them. At that height no one will see, I guarantee it, because I’ve done it before. Plus it means you don’t need to mess about with making a template of the cladding either, just put the fixings in when you are on site.
I wouldn’t even bother with a template for the letter spacing at that size, I would draw it up to full scale on the pc and measure the character spacing for each letter and then measure the letters on site the same.Nigel

Agree with Dan totally here. The method is spot on to what Ive used in the past and the circular vinyl to cover the screw heads works a treat. :lol1:
