Another mainstay of the commercial cityscape is the Awning.
Awnings are dynamic in that, beyond their high effectiveness
as signage, they also add to a building's architectural
aesthetic. Their three dimensional nature gives them a great
visible advantage from many different angles. Awnings offer a
multitude of choices: from size, shape, and color; illuminated
or non-illuminated, to being functional shelter from the
elements or a purely decorative feature. Add the feature of
illumination to provide a sense of security for your customers.
Awnings begin as a skeletal framework of metal tubes (usually aluminum) over which is structured a durable fabric. Awnings sometimes house electrical light fixtures and can be decorated with a variety of colors and any type of design.
Awnings are particularly useful in areas of abundant pedestrian traffic because of their effectiveness as shelter. They are often better received as sign solutions in areas of historical or cultural preservation.
Eradicated Backlit Awning
Eradicolor is ideal for backlit awnings and signage with single background colors. Designs, logos, and copy may be added through eradication, inlaying additional colors where desired. Now in a design for everyday signage, usage is intended where the requirement is for medium-term durability. Available in a range of popular colors (shown below), the awning and sign faces can be decorated with translucent vinyl or digitally printed backlit material.
The exposed white background, in areas of eradication, stays white as a result of high quality pigments and additives that provide resistance to UV, heat degradation, and microbial protection. The 20 x 14 high strength polyester scrim embedded in the cast PVC gives strength for easy tensioning and avoids sagging. The special combination of materials has excellent light diffusion properties to increase visibility of the graphic while hiding structural components.
