What is the Half Round Blade Sign?
The Half Round Blade Sign is a double-sided projecting wall sign with an 11.8″ × 7.9″ (30 × 20 cm) face, made from folded aluminum. It mounts perpendicular to the wall on a 2″ (5 cm) folded tab with pre-drilled holes, so it's visible from both directions along a corridor or street rather than only face-on. It weighs 2.2 lbs (1 kg) and is supplied as a blank, most commonly used for restroom and wayfinding signage.
What else is the Half Round Blade Sign called?
The Half Round Blade Sign is also known as a projecting sign, flag sign, or wayfinding sign. When used for facilities it's called a restroom sign in the US and Canada, and a toilet sign in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Because it projects from the wall, it's read from along a corridor — unlike a flush-mounted plaque, which is only visible once you're standing in front of it.
How big is the Half Round Blade Sign?
The sign face measures 11.8″ (30 cm) high by 7.9″ (20 cm) wide, and the sign weighs 2.2 lbs (1 kg). The wall mount is a 2″ (5 cm) folded aluminum tab with pre-drilled holes.
Is the Half Round Blade Sign double-sided?
Yes. Both faces are visible, so the sign reads from either direction along a corridor or street. If you're applying a restroom symbol or logo, you'll need a decal for each side — worth factoring in when you brief your signwriter.
Does the Half Round Blade Sign arrive branded?
No. The sign is supplied as a blank — decals and symbols aren't included. A local signwriter can apply vinyl lettering or a restroom symbol to either face, or you can apply your own. For more information on the signwriting process, please see our blog post here.
What is the Half Round Blade Sign made from?
Folded aluminum. Aluminum doesn't rust, so the sign suits outdoor use as well as interiors — including covered outdoor areas and coastal locations where steel would corrode.
Can the Half Round Blade Sign be used outdoors?
Yes. It's aluminum throughout, so it's weatherproof and rust-resistant, suitable for exterior walls and covered outdoor areas as well as interior corridors.
Does the Half Round Blade Sign come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Stainless-steel wood screws are supplied, and the folded aluminum tab comes pre-drilled, ready to fix. For brick, concrete or tiled walls, you'll need to source the appropriate masonry fixings from your local hardware store.
What shapes does the Blade Sign range come in?
