1. Sign filler, also known as sign cabinet, forms the main structure of an illuminated sign. The filler houses the electrical components, and is the joining area from which the sign is suspended or secured to posts or beams. On the filler sits the face frames, which support the sign graphic surface. Fillers vary depending on a) sign type, b) sign size, c) structural requirements, and d) sign depth.
Selecting a Filler consider:
A - Sign type: e.g. free standing two sides visible, see double faced signs. Wall mount storefront, see single faced signs.
B - Sign size: larger signs require windload and material expansion and contraction considerations, see filler design guidelines.
C - Structural requirements: each filler is designed to be fabricated to a maximum surface area. Signs exceeding these parameters would require structural reinforcement or selection of a wider filler. Wider fillers are structurally stronger to withstand greater windloads and accommodate larger internal posts.
D - Sign depth: filler depth varies mainly for structural reasons, but sign depth can also be used to enhance sign's overall proportions.
2. Face frames hold the graphic. They vary depending on a) sign size, b) sign type or sign face material.
Selecting a Face Frame consider:
A - Sign size: larger signs require different frames for material expansion and structural considerations.
B - Sign type and sign face material:
- Acrylic plastic or polycarbonate
- Fiber reinforced flexible vinyl face material
- Aluminum or laminated aluminum sheet
- Track mounted changeable letters
Finish: Sign cabinet and face frame are finished [as indicated by the last digit of the part #. For custom finishes use 0 and specify the custom color or process].
XXX0 = Mill Finish
