Hanging signs - Uses and features
The benefit of our printed hanging signs and projecting LED signs are that they can take advantage of higher spaces which offer great visibility.
Projecting Signs - Wall signs that sit at a 90 degree angle to the wall giving you visibility from both sides as you approach the hanging shop sign.
Hanging Signs - We offer a range of signs which hang from our custom manufactured hanging bars. This type of hanging signage give you movement in the wind.
Illuminated - Take advantage of night time traffic with LED illumination with our range of popular custom lit LED hanging signs.
Production - Some of the processes we offer include
The methods of production for our hanging and projecting signs include;
Durability & Materials for Outdoor Hanging Signs
Hanging signs take the full force of UK weather - wind loading, rain, UV exposure, and coastal salt spray if you're near the coast. The material you choose determines how your sign looks after one year, five years, and beyond.
Aluminium - The most popular choice for commercial hanging signs. Aluminium is lightweight, rust-proof, and holds printed or vinyl graphics without warping. Aluminium tray signs provide a rigid, enclosed housing that protects internal LED modules from moisture. Powder-coated aluminium resists scratching and UV fading - ideal for exposed high-street locations.
Slate - A distinctive option for pubs, restaurants, and boutique retail. Natural slate is inherently weather-resistant and ages well in outdoor conditions. The Slate Leaf Logo Hanging Sign pairs hand-finished slate with engraved or printed branding for a look that suits heritage buildings and conservation areas.
Acrylic - Clear, frosted, or colour-matched acrylic works well for modern brand aesthetics and illuminated signs. Cast acrylic resists UV yellowing better than extruded alternatives and is the standard material for edge-lit and face-lit LED hanging signs. For outdoor use, acrylic is typically housed within an aluminium frame to provide structural rigidity in wind.
Metal (Steel & Iron) - Wrought iron brackets and steel frames give hanging signs a traditional or industrial appearance. These are typically powder-coated or galvanised for corrosion resistance. Metal frames are heavier, so wall fixings and bracket strength need to account for both the sign weight and wind force.
Illuminated vs Non-Illuminated - For businesses open after dark - restaurants, late-closing retail, bars - an illuminated LED hanging sign significantly increases visibility. LED lightbox signs like the 70cm Circle Projecting LED Lightbox use sealed, weatherproof housings that keep LED modules dry and operational year-round. For daytime-only businesses, a high-quality printed aluminium or slate sign delivers strong visibility at a lower price point.
Installation - Wall-mounted projecting signs fix at 90 degrees to the building face using heavy-duty bracket arms. Bracket size depends on sign weight and projection distance - we supply compatible brackets with projecting sign orders. Hanging bar signs use overhead mounting arms and are designed to move slightly in the wind, which adds visual interest but requires secure fixings rated for dynamic load. For both types, fixing into masonry or structural timber is recommended over plasterboard or cladding.
FAQ'S
Are there lots of hanging sign designs to choose from?
We have a huge amount of hanging signs to choose from that all offer something different aesthetically - whether you wanted a nice and subtle rectangular projecting sign to showcase your logo, or you wanted a visually striking square projecting LED lightbox, there are many different ways to showcase your business' personality!
Why get a hanging wall sign for my business?
Hanging wall signs are the perfect way to grant your business some extra visibility - be it some projecting signs to help people find your business from the street, or signs hanging from bars that sway in the breeze for a homely aesthetic, you can find the perfect choice for your company.
Can I personalise my hanging signs?
Absolutely - on a number of our hanging signs, you can personalise the design, printing options, colours and any other special requirements you have so you know your sign will be exactly tailored to your needs!
What materials are best for outdoor hanging signs?
Aluminium is the most durable and versatile material for outdoor hanging signs - it's rust-proof, lightweight, and holds printed graphics without warping or fading. For a more traditional look, natural slate weathers well and suits heritage or hospitality settings. If you want illumination, look for LED hanging signs with sealed aluminium housings that protect the electronics from rain and moisture.
How long do outdoor hanging signs last?
An aluminium hanging sign with UV-stable print or vinyl graphics will typically last 5-7 years outdoors before colours begin to show any fading, depending on exposure. Slate signs last decades with minimal maintenance. LED illuminated signs are rated for 50,000+ hours of use - roughly 5-7 years of continuous operation - and the aluminium housing will long outlast the LED modules inside.
Do you offer double-sided hanging signs?
Yes. Projecting hanging signs are double-sided as standard - they sit perpendicular to the wall, so both faces are visible to passing foot traffic from either direction. The Illuminated Hanging Sign Double-Sided is the most popular option, combining LED illumination with dual-face branding for maximum street-level visibility.
