What other types of projecting or protruding signs are there?
We supply projecting signs made as panel and bracket sign systems which are also referred to as blade signs due to the thin panel that hangs from the bracket. The brackets are made from iron and coated black ready to hang any shaped blade sign panel which will then swing in the wind.
