Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) #### Q: How do I choose the right sign for my business? A: We start with a full site audit. We examine the architecture of your building, check viewing angles, measure the available space, and check local lighting. Based on this, we recommend materials (acrylic, ACM, metal) and styles (flat, 3D, illuminated) that maximize visibility and fit your budget. #### Q: Do I need planning permission for outdoor signs? A: In the UK, many outdoor signs (such as standard shop fascia signs under a certain size) fall under "deemed consent" and do not require planning permission. However, illuminated signs, very large signs, or signs on listed buildings often require advertisement consent from your local authority. DX Signs can advise you on compliance guidelines. #### Q: How long does a vehicle wrap or graphic last? A: Using premium cast vinyls, professional vehicle wraps typically last between 5 to 7 years. Durability depends on care, washing techniques (avoiding high-pressure washers too close to the edges), and exposure to harsh sunlight or weather. #### Q: What is the process for ordering custom signage? A: 1. **Consultation & Site Audit**: We visit your premises to inspect the site and discuss your goals. 2. **Design**: Our team creates design proofs showing how the sign will look. 3. **Manufacture**: Once approved, we build the sign in our Barnstaple workshop. 4. **Installation**: Our professional installers fit the sign securely at your site. #### Q: Can you design a logo from scratch? A: Yes. Our in-house design studio specializes in logo creation and brand identity, ensuring your logo is optimized for both print, digital media, and physical signs. --- ## 4. Key Articles & Business Insights ### The Ultimate Vehicle Wrap Maintenance Guide To keep your commercial vehicle wraps and vinyl graphics looking fresh: 1. **Hand Wash Regularly**: Wash your vehicle by hand using a mild detergent and clean water. Avoid automatic brush car washes, which can scratch or lift the edges of the vinyl. 2. **Avoid Pressure Washers**: If you must use a pressure washer, keep the pressure below 2,000 psi, water temperature below 60°C, and keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away from the wrap, spraying at a 90-degree angle. 3. **Clean Spills Immediately**: Fuel spills, bird droppings, and tree sap should be washed off immediately to avoid staining the vinyl. ### Shop Signage Materials Guide Choosing the right material ensures longevity: * **Aluminum Composite Material (ACM)**: Highly durable, lightweight, and weather-resistant. Excellent for fascia backdrops. * **Acrylic (Perspex)**: Provides a glossy, high-end finish. Perfect for 3D lettering and modern interior plaques. * **LED Lightboxes**: Anodized aluminum frame with an acrylic face, illuminated internally with LED modules. Ensures 24/7 visibility. --- ## 5.
