What is the Square Blade Sign?
The Square Blade Sign is a double-sided projecting wall sign with a square face, made from folded, powder-coated aluminum. It comes in two sizes — Small at 5.9″ × 5.9″ (15 × 15 cm) and Large at 11.8″ × 11.8″ (30 × 30 cm) — and mounts perpendicular to the wall on a folded tab with pre-drilled holes, so it's visible from both directions along a corridor or street.
What else is it called?
The Square 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 in front of it.
What sizes does the Square Blade Sign come in?
Two. Small is 5.9″ × 5.9″ (15 × 15 cm) with a 1″ (2.5 cm) mounting tab, weighing 0.9 lbs (0.4 kg). Large is 11.8″ × 11.8″ (30 × 30 cm) with a 2″ (5 cm) tab, weighing 3.1 lbs (1.4 kg).
Is it double-sided?
Yes. Both faces are visible, so the sign reads from either direction. If you're applying a symbol or logo, you'll need a decal for each side — worth factoring in when you brief your signwriter.
What is the Square Blade Sign made from?
Folded, powder-coated 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.
Does the Square Blade Sign come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Wood screws are supplied, and the folded aluminum tab comes pre-drilled ready to fix. For plasterboard between studs, or for brick, concrete or tiled walls, you'll need to source the appropriate anchors from your hardware store.
Can the Square Blade Sign be used outdoors?
Yes. It's powder-coated aluminum throughout, so it's weatherproof and rust-resistant, suitable for exterior walls and covered outdoor areas as well as interior corridors.
What other shapes are included in the Blade Sign range?
The Blade Sign range includes circle, rectangle, square, and vertical. All use the same folded aluminum construction and mount the same way.
