Neon Signs in Canterbury

Glass neon or LED neon for a Canterbury frontage

There are two routes. Traditional glass neon gives the classic glow that suits a bar, restaurant or late-opening venue. LED flex neon gives a similar look with lower running energy and more robust tubing, which is often the better fit for a busy retail setting or a sign that sits within reach. Either can be mounted on a clear acrylic backing, on a metal frame or straight to the wall, and both can be dimmed.

Working around the city's conservation rules

Canterbury City Council is the planning authority, and its conservation areas mean illuminated signs on streets such as the High Street, St Peter's Street or The Parade deserve careful thought before anything is made. We visit the site first, look at the wall, the power position and how the sign will be read, and advise on what consent is likely to be needed. Neon placed behind glass inside the premises is a route many venues consider for sensitive frontages.

From a sketch to a lit sign

Lettering, a logo, a retro script or a piece of artwork can all be reproduced, in virtually any shape, size or colour. You see the design before it is made, our craftsmen form every curve, and our own installation team fits it at a time that keeps disruption to your trading to a minimum.
