This option looks light and airy and fits well into any interior: shops, cafés, beauty salons and so on.

The material used is 4 to 10 mm thick. It can be rectangular or a custom shape

This is for when the airy look of acrylic doesn't quite suit you and you want to see the neon lettering with no visible wiring. For a sign like this, you need to plan ahead and run all the wiring inside the wall, with a cable outlet for each element.

A template with mounting points is made in advance, and the electrician does all the necessary work according to it.

The lettering itself is laser-cut in several layers, marked out for the cable outlets and with a groove for the neon slightly wider than the neon itself, and then glued together. Each letter (element) is made separately

For a wider variety of designs and for a durable structure. Chipboard comes in a wide range of colours and textures, while aluminium composite is rigid and durable and can be used outdoors.

Remember that outdoor signs require neon rated for outdoor use
