For commercial brick buildings, 3D dimensional lettering is typically installed using a method known as direct stud mounting. This process is preferred for masonry surfaces because it provides a secure, clean appearance with minimal structural impact.
Here is how the installation process works for brick facades:
- Site Assessment: Installers first evaluate the brick surface and conduct site measurements to verify that the final dimensions fit the surface and account for sightlines.
- Direct Stud Mounting: Each individual letter is anchored directly into the brick. This ensures a stable attachment that can withstand Saskatchewan’s extreme wind and temperature swings.
- Electrical Integration: If you are installing illuminated channel letters, the team routes low-voltage LED wiring through the building facade to code. All electrical components are installed to meet CSA Group safety standards.
- Testing and Inspection: Once mounted, the signage undergoes a functional test to confirm rock-solid attachment and, if applicable, even lighting.
It is important to note that most exterior dimensional lettering in Regina requires a building permit. Professionals typically manage the permit application to ensure the installation complies with City of Regina signage bylaws, helping you avoid potential fines.
