A popular choice for a non-illuminating sign, is an aluminium trim with acrylic panels. Erye & Eliston Electrical Whole- salers opted for a white aluminium trim, with white acrylic panels and applied vinyl graphics. Such a sign has long term durability as well as producing a high class image for the shop on a busy London roundabout. The Hire Station in Maidstone opted for an alupanel pan, covered in red and silver vinyl, with Fret Cut Acrylic letters. The letters are stood off 30mm from the fascia, using locators, which help create a 3D effect. Advantages of alupanel pan signs include long term durability, very well concealed fixings, and a fairly light weight structure, allowing them to be used in a large variety of situations.
