How long will it take to produce my work?
Signs / We know that you don't want to wait around for months and months for your signage to be ready, so we aim to have your custom signage made within 3 weeks of order. This completion timeline is increased for high volume orders or more complex designs.
Sculptures and outdoor features / Lead time for custom made sculptures and outdoor features varies depending on the size and complexity of the work. An approximate lead time will be provided with your quote.
Do you offer lighting?
LEDs / Adding lighting to your work is a great way to make sure it stands out. We often incorporate LED strip lighting into our signs and wall works to create a backlit effect.
