Here are a few recent projects, this is our bread and butter. Pretty basic, but there's always room for a little creativity in construction.
A big thank you to Chuck Churchill for the lead and recommendation on this one...
Layered aluminum composite monolith. Logo is routed out of face layer, exposing the colors on the second layer. Division name and information is vinyl film.
Detail of embossed effect on logo...
Interior PVC logo...
Directory and Door Signs for small office building...
Black PVC backer with Brushed Metal laminate. Clear non-glare acrylic tenant strips mounted with Standoff Caps.
Brushed metal laminate with vinyl graphics. Door handle and escutcheon were removed during installation. 3M laminating tape was used to affix panel.
This was a project photo display we designed for PCL a local project management company...
Photos are mounted between acrylic panels and mounted with Standoffs Wire Suspension System.
The client liked it so much, they requested that we design a display for their staff lunch room on the other side of the wall...
The photos hadn't been mounted yet. This is a variation of the suspension system on the other wall, using pierced fasteners rather than edge grip type. PCL is a huge company. Someone from one of their other divisions saw this and wants something like it in their building. Gotta love that. Posted by Sam Staffan (Member # 4552) on :

Nice stuff Duncan - - I really like the idea and execution of the door handle plaques!
What a great place to reinforce a companies' image than where you always look to open a door!
Edit: Question Duncan - are those door knob plaques self-adhesive? Or a combination of self-adhesive tape and pressure from the door handle holding them into place? Thanks!

Thanks, guys. Todd the metal plate is bonded to the door with a 3M VHB transfer tape. The coverage is 100%, the door handle hardware isn't needed to hold it in place. I don't know the series # off hand, as I'm at home now. It is a 3M VHB laminating film we buy in 12" wide rolls. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The metal face on the directory is bonded to the PVC backer with the same tape. It is a very thin film and works like a charm. If you want more info., I can email you the specs.

Nice work Duncan
Is there a full steel structure on the first one? I really like the simplicity.

Hi Dirk, Thanks, the interior frame is partly Pressure Treated Wood and partly steel. Square tubing is encased in the wood framing. Smaller square tubing was concreted into the ground, then the sign was slipped over that. After final leveling, bolts were installed to hold it in place.
