Double-Sided Bracket-Mounted Storefront Signs for Pedestrian Visibility
Non-Illuminated Blade Signs, also known as Projecting Wall Signs, are perpendicular wall-mounted signage systems designed to extend outward from a building façade. Positioned at a 90-degree angle to the wall, they maximize visibility for pedestrians approaching from either direction.
These signs are widely used in retail districts, cafés, boutiques, and commercial streets where sidewalk exposure is essential for brand recognition.
What Is a Non-Illuminated Blade Sign?
A blade sign consists of:
-
A wall-mounted bracket
-
A welded metal support rod
-
A flat metal sign panel
-
Mounting hardware
The bracket is securely anchored to the building structure. A metal rod is welded into the bracket assembly and extends outward to support the sign panel.
The sign panel may either:
-
Be fixed directly to the support rod
-
Hang from the rod using metal chains
This perpendicular projection makes the sign visible from both directions of foot traffic.
