Our team was tasked with designing, manufacturing, and installing a comprehensive exterior signage solution that would not only stand out but also align with Headlam’s brand identity.
The Challenge
Headlam required durable and visually striking exterior signage for their Ashford Trade Counter. The project involved creating several large wall-mounted signs, complemented by window vinyl posters. The primary objective was to produce signage that was both functional and visually appealing, drawing attention to the Trade Counter and effectively communicating the range of products and services offered.
Our Solution
Our approach centered on using Panatrim-framed signs for a sleek, professional finish. The main sign, located to the right of the trade entrance, measures an impressive 6 meters in length and over a meter in height. It was constructed from three ACM panels, each covered with digitally printed vinyl graphics and sealed with a protective satin-finish laminate. These panels were secured within a Panatrim frame, powder-coated in silver as per the client’s preference. Panatrim frames, known for their clean appearance and hidden fixings, provided the perfect solution for a polished, seamless look.
Opposite the main entrance, we installed a second Panatrim-framed sign, slightly smaller but equally impactful, measuring over 3.5 meters in length. This sign advertises the types of products available at the Trade Counter. Above the shutters, we added a third, smaller Panatrim sign to denote the Collections point.
Additionally, we produced and installed metre-high vinyl posters on the windows beneath the main sign, highlighting the Trade Counter’s products, services, and opening times.
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how Panatrim signs offer an excellent solution for large, eye-catching exterior signage. They provide durability and a professional finish while remaining cost-effective and lightweight. If you’re in need of impactful exterior signage that combines longevity with visual appeal, Panatrim signs might be the ideal choice for your business.
