Want exterior Building Signage that fits within your budget?

Building Signage on the exterior wall of this commercial warehouse is made from routed foam letters which are easy to read.

Did you know exterior building signage can be as simple as raised foam lettering verses elaborate custom designed metal letter signage?

The best part is that your foam letters are less expensive than acrylic or metal letters. Plus they will last longer in the dry hot Las Vegas climate.

Whereas in damp rainy climates. Foam lettering is not ideal.

And another benefit is there’s no drilling necessary to stud mount these types of building signs on tilt up concrete walls, like in the photo on the left here.

However, you can be as creative or elaborate as you prefer with your outdoor building signs.

If you own the warehouse, facility or building and you plan on making it your home for a long-time then you can choose to go with a custom building signage design.

Exterior building signage is typically used to identify one or more of the following:

• The name of your business
• Display your company logo
• Building address numbers and ranges
• The name of the industrial complex
• Unit numbers
• Dock door number signs
• ADA accessible signs
• Onsite directory signage
• Informational or directional signage

Exterior building signs that are made from fabricated metal letters. They are then stud mounted into the brick facade above the entrance to this professional dental practice.

Building signage is affixed or attached directly to the building and therefore it is called building signage.

Normally this term is used when ordering industrial space signage or signs and comes in the form of raised lettering that is affix to the building.

If you’re leasing warehouse, manufacturing or commercial space then the landlord handles all the other required sign types. Like parking and traffic control, directories, directional, dock doors, address numbers, etc.

Because, in order to get a C.O. (certificate of occupancy) they must comply with all the codes and rules.

However, if you are the owner or developer? Then Signs West Outdoor of Las Vegas can help you with all your required signage so you meet code.

Building signage must meet local and jurisdictional sign codes.

For example, depending on the size of your leased or owned space, the size of your sign letters and or signage will be determined by local sign codes.

These City or County codes dictate:

• The height of your signage
• The maximum width of the sign
• The sign type (some only allow certain types or one type of sign)
• Whether you may have illuminate or non-illuminated signage
• The style of the sign
• The total square footage that your signage may take up
• Even keeping your exterior sign below the roof line

However, Las Vegas tends to provide much more favorable sign codes then other cities in the United States.

Custom building blade sign for retail store front stands out and gets noticed because it sticks out perpendicular to the sidewalks and the parking lot driveway.

Plus, if you want to go bigger for certain justifiable reasons, then a special use permit or variances can be applied for.

For example, your in a non-residential area zoned industrial and part of your building faces a local interstate then it only makes sense that you to be visible to this passing traffic. Right?

Your maybe thinking, if you could only get an extra foot in height then it would provide for that greater visibility to travelers on the roadway. So, you would ask for a variance. Or if your set back if covered by landscaping, a knoll or blocked by a pole sign then you may ask for relief via a special use permit too.

Normally the City of Las Vegas and local planning commissions are understanding if you present your hardship to them properly.

Also, if your building signage allotment is 300 square feet (based upon your square footage being leased) then you may elect to place a larger portion of your allotted signage to face a high traffic street or freeway.

You want your exterior building signage to stand out more to busy roadways rather than on the side of your building that’s facing a low traffic street. Plus your customer will appreciate it more, because you’re easier to spot when they’re heading over to your showroom, facility or place of business.

Normally, depending on where your building is located in Las Vegas, a good rule of thumb is you will get 1 to 1.5 square foot of signage per every linear running feet of frontage. This is just one reason you will want to contact Signs West Outdoor of Las Vegas to help you gain the most visibility and appeal from your building signage as possible.
