Frequently Asked Questions About Reception Signs
-
The ideal material depends on your brand image, budget, and environment. Acrylic offers versatility and a modern look. Metals like aluminum and stainless steel deliver durability and prestige. Wood brings warmth and tradition. For maximum impact, illuminated options or mixed materials create distinctive effects. TDH helps align your sign material with your brand personality and interior design
-
The optimal size depends on viewing distance, wall dimensions, and surrounding architecture. A common guideline suggests the sign width should be approximately half the wall width. Consider where visitors will first see the sign—closer viewing distances allow smaller dimensions while maintaining readability. TDH can help you visualize the final size in your space before fabrication
-
Lighting dramatically influences sign visibility and impact. Illuminated signs (whether backlit, halo-lit, or front-lit) create after-hours visibility and add dimension. Even non-illuminated signs benefit from proper ambient lighting. LED technology offers energy efficiency, color options, and design flexibility not previously possible with traditional lighting methods
-
Many lobby signs can be designed with relocation in mind. Depending on the mounting method and materials, signs can range from easily removable to permanently affixed. Options like standoff mounting, panel-mounted letters, or freestanding displays offer greater portability than directly mounted dimensional letters. TDH can recommend the most suitable approach based on your future plans
-
After design approval, fabrication typically takes 4-6 weeks for standard lobby signs. Installation requires 1-3 days depending on complexity and mounting requirements. The entire process from concept to completion averages 8-12 weeks. TDH provides precise timeline estimates during your initial consulta
-
Quality lobby signs from TDH maintain their appearance for years with minimal maintenance. Modern manufacturing techniques have dramatically improved durability, with many signs retaining their visual impact for decades. Illuminated signs benefit from occasional bulb replacement, though LED technology significantly extends lighting lifespan
