Working near highways or in pedestrian zones? We’ll advise on clearances, foundations and visibility lines.

Mounting & Fixing Options

Freestanding signs must be secure and safe. We design foundations and fixings for the ground conditions on your site.

Our IPAF, PASMA and CSCS qualified teams install nationwide across retail parks, office campuses, stadiums and leisure venues.

  • Totems offer strong brand presence at vehicle speed; monoliths suit pedestrian-heavy sites
  • Double-sided illumination improves visibility on approach roads and car parks
  • Push-through acrylic lettering gives crisp edges and excellent night-time clarity
  • Modular panels let retail parks and business parks update tenant names without replacing the full sign
  • LEDs are low-voltage and efficient, helping reduce running costs over time

Signs are delivered with foundations guidance and electrical schematics. We position the base, set anchor bolts or posts, secure the cabinet and connect to the power supply and controls. Electrical work must be completed by a qualified installer. Prefer a turnkey service? Our team can handle surveys, groundworks, install and testing.

Illuminated totem and monolith signs need minimal upkeep.

Illuminated Totem & Monolith Sign FAQs

What is the difference between a totem and a monolith?

Both are freestanding signs. “Totem” often refers to taller, narrow structures for roadside visibility. “Monolith” usually describes wider cabinets with large faces or tenant directories. We’ll recommend the best form for your site.

Yes. We engineer frames, faces and foundations for wind load and weather. Lighting is sealed and IP-rated for outdoor performance.

Absolutely. Most entrance and roadside totems are double-sided so traffic can see your brand from both directions.

Face-lit panels, push-through acrylic lettering, edge-lit accents, and RGB colour-changing systems. We can add photocells for automatic dusk activation and dimming for night hours.

We use opal acrylic or polycarbonate for illuminated zones and powder-coated aluminium or stainless steel cladding. Anti-graffiti and protective laminates are available for high-traffic areas.

For vehicle approaches, 4–6 m provides strong visibility. For pedestrian zones, 2.5–3.5 m is common. We’ll size text and logos for the intended viewing distance.

Yes. Cabinets can be powder-coated to any RAL colour with brushed or polished metal accents. Graphics can be vinyl, print or push-through lettering to match your brand.

Most projects take 4–6 weeks from design approval. Complex structures or planning applications may increase timelines.

Very efficient. Modern LEDs deliver high brightness at low wattage. Adding photocells and timers reduces consumption further.
