Blade Signs Built for Street-Level Visibility

Blade signs — also known as projecting signs — are mounted perpendicular to your building façade. They provide visibility from angles that traditional wall signage and storefront signs may not capture.They are ideal for:
- Retail storefronts
- Restaurant locations
- Downtown businesses
- Shopping districts
- Multi-tenant commercial properties
- Medical and office buildings
Because they extend outward, blade signs provide visibility from sidewalks and angled traffic flow that traditional wall signage may not capture.
Burns Custom Signs works exclusively with commercial clients. We do not provide residential signage or vehicle wraps. Exterior installation and service are core specialties, and we approach every blade sign project with structural integrity and long-term performance in mind.
