Capture foot traffic from both directions with dual-face projecting signage. Built for durability, engineered for impact.
Maximize Visibility with Double-Sided Blade Signs
In busy commercial districts, pedestrians approach from both directions. A single-sided sign misses half your client's potential audience. Double-sided blade signs solve this problem by presenting the brand identity to traffic flowing in both directions — effectively doubling the sign's reach without doubling the footprint.
Sunlite Signs manufactures double-sided blade signs in both illuminated and non-illuminated configurations. Our illuminated models use a shared LED system that evenly lights both faces, eliminating hot spots and ensuring consistent brightness from either viewing angle. The result is a clean, professional appearance that commands attention day and night.
Our German-engineered construction process produces double-sided cabinets with tight seams, uniform face tension, and perfect graphic registration on both sides. We understand that a double-sided sign is only as good as its worst face — so we hold both sides to the same exacting standard.
Construction & Engineering Standards
Double-sided blade signs require careful engineering to manage weight, wind load, and thermal expansion. At Sunlite Signs, our structural approach accounts for all three factors:
- Weight Management: Welded aluminum cabinets keep total sign weight under control while maintaining rigidity. Our 6063-T5 aluminum alloy delivers excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
- Wind Load: Double-sided signs present more surface area to wind than single-face units. We engineer brackets and internal reinforcement ribs to handle wind loads up to 110 mph based on ASCE 7 standards.
- Thermal Expansion: Our cabinet design accommodates thermal cycling without warping, popping rivets, or distorting the sign face.
For illuminated double-sided models, the LED system is center-mounted between the two faces to provide even light distribution. Power supplies are accessible through a bottom-access service panel, making maintenance straightforward for your client's facilities team.
All illuminated double-sided blade signs carry UL 48 certification and ship with complete wiring documentation for code-compliant installation.
Popular Applications for Dual-Face Projecting Signs
Double-sided blade signs are a staple of pedestrian-friendly commercial environments. Here are the applications where they deliver the most value:
- Main street retail: Sidewalk shoppers see the sign from either approach direction
- Corner buildings: Project from the corner to address two street frontages simultaneously
- Mixed-use developments: Ground-floor tenants in multi-story buildings gain prominent street-level branding
- Food and beverage: Restaurants, cafes, and bars use projecting signs to pull in walk-by traffic
Sunlite Signs offers these double-sided configurations in rectangular, oval, shield, and custom die-cut shapes. Graphics can be applied as vinyl, routed aluminum with push-through acrylic, or full flex-face panels for maximum illumination uniformity. We work with your design files or can adapt client logos to fit the blade sign format — just send us the artwork and we'll handle the engineering.
