PowderLux Signage Project
Project: Spray Shop Architectural signage
Client: Internal project
Services: Powder Coat, PowderLUX
Location: Spray Shop Architectural premises
Project Overview
As part of the ongoing development of Spray Shop Architectural, we introduced new signage to our premises, creating an opportunity to showcase our finishes on our own building.
This was a necessary step in our PowderLux journey, not only proving our faith in the product, but making sure that everyone who visits us gets to see it.
Rather than simply displaying our company name, the sign provides a way to demonstrate the appearance and character of the finishes we work with, bringing our own products and capabilities into view.
The Brief
The aim was to create signage that represented Spray Shop Architectural and reflected the quality and variety of finishes available.
We wanted the sign to stand out, create questions and gander interest in something new and exciting for the architectural finishing world.
The project also provided an opportunity to demonstrate how the choice of finish can influence the overall appearance of a piece of architectural metalwork.
The Finish
We chose 3 finishes that we felt would show the depth of effects we can create using PowderLUX. The first finish we used was Seafoam, a five layer finish designed to create a patinated copper effect, this can be seen on the ‘S’. The second finish we chose was Nuevo Oxide, a rust effect, becoming increasing popular in the signage industry, due to its Corten look, without the rust run off from Corten steel, this is visible on the backing tray. The 3rd and final finish we used was Rustic Bronze, this gives a premium look to whatever it’s applied to, therefore getting it noticed, was a must, this finish was applied to our website address.
PowderLux offers a distinctive patina-style appearance, creating the character of aged metal through a powder coating finish.
By showcasing the finish on our own signage, we can demonstrate its visual impact in a real application rather than relying solely on colour samples.
The Result
The completed sign gives Spray Shop Architectural a new visual identity on the building while providing a practical showcase for our finishing capabilities.
The sign now stands as a showcase of what can be achieved with modern finishing techniques, demonstrating the creative possibilities these finishes offer.
It brings together the company name and the finishes used to create the final appearance, demonstrating how finishing choices can contribute to the overall presentation of architectural signage.
A Showcase of What We Do
At Spray Shop Architectural, we work with a range of powder coating and wet spraying finishes for architectural metalwork and other components.
Our own sign is a small example of how the right finish can help bring a project together, combining appearance with the practical requirements of the application.
The wider application
PowderLUX can be applied to a wide range of suitable metal substrates and has been used across applications including railings, light fittings, sculptures, architectural metalwork and garden features. From functional components to striking design features, PowderLUX opens up a world of possibilities for bringing character and individuality to metalwork.
