Windows
This is a fast growing area of our business. Specialized window films allow you privacy or prevent glare whilst minimising any loss of light. Logos and text can be cut into them as well.

Tower signs
Over the years we have been asked to produce very large tower signs (similar to what one would see outside a filling station) in instances where the client premises is set back from the road and is difficult to find.
Special Projects
This is an open ended area of the sign business. It can be as diverse as some special heritage work or reproducing children’s drawings at large scale for schools.
Site signs
There was a time when these were very plain listing of the developments, but they are now regarded as a active (and changeable) marketing tool. Normally digitally printed in full colour, we have produced signs up to 9 Meters by 6 meters.
Safety Signs
A great many standard safety signs can now be bought off-the-shelf in hardware stores, but there is a constant need for more durable bespoke signs that are made to order.
Raised Lettering
Carved in durable composite material but can be in steel, plastic or other materials. They are usually seen on shop facias but can be used in any context and are especially effective when backlit.
Plaques
These are most commonly seen outside buildings to indicate the business inside. They can be made in a huge variey of styles and materials.
Maps
In some cases where you have a big technology park or a shopping centre or a park, a graphic map is a very effective and simple way to help customes to find places.
Lightboxes
Normally thes are projecting from the front of buildings like hanging signs, but can also be used as free-standing towers or as effective and eye catching point-of-sale aids inside windows or instore.
hanging signs
Probably the oldest type of sign of all. In Europe, some are hundreds of years old. Again there are any number of types to suit your budget.
Flat signs
This is standard flat sign usually digitally printed nowdays. Standard metal Sheets come in 1m by 2m up to 1.5m by 3m. Often used with full colour images.
Fascia Signs
This is your normal shop front and can be done in any number of ways. You are only limited by your imagination!
Banners
Often used as a quick inexpensive option for temporary locations. They can also be rolled up and stored for future use.
Back lit letters
This gives your sign a boost, particularily if your premises is set back from the road or if your sign is at high level. Nowadays this is achieved by long life, low energy LED lighting.
HERITAGE
We have done a number of projects with the OPW, and over the years worked with community groups on Heritage projects. One of the most interesting was the restoration of the old Huguenot graveyard in French Church street, Cork. This was a conservation project carried out by Cork City Council (our client) on a vacant lot, wedged in between existing buildings. There was very little remaining in terms of visible heritage (Headstones & tombs etc), so we had to design and build informational boards to inform the general public.
MEDICAL
We have worked for many specialist training & care groups (Cheshire homes, The Alzheimer Society of Ireland, St Lukes home etc) and are currently involved in 2 projects for the HSE in the City area.
