Fascia band signs
Lettering or a logo applied to the sign band above your storefront, either flat-cut dimensional letters, a routed panel, or vinyl on an existing fascia, sized to the demising width the sign criteria allows.
Storefront, fascia
and window signs.
The exterior finishing package that makes a storefront read as yours. Fascia bands, blade signs, awning graphics, dimensional logos, and window lettering, sized to your sign criteria and installed to code.
What storefront and fascia signage covers
This is the exterior finishing layer of a commercial storefront: the dimensional or non-illuminated lettering on your fascia band, projecting blade signs over the entrance, printed awning valances, raised dimensional logos, and the vinyl lettering and frost on your windows and doors. It is the work that turns a bare lease space into a recognizable business. Most of it is governed by the landlord's sign criteria and the City of Edmonton's sign bylaw, so it gets designed to a spec, not just to taste.
Storefront & fascia, your way.
Blade and projecting signs
A double-sided sign mounted perpendicular to the wall over the entrance so it reads to pedestrians walking the sidewalk in both directions, illuminated or non-lit.
Awning graphics
Printed or applied lettering on the valance and slope of a fabric or rigid awning, an easy way to add a logo, phone number, and address without new wall structure.
Dimensional logos and letters
Flat-cut acrylic, aluminum, or PVC letters and logos with stud or flush mounting for a raised, shadow-casting look on fascia, lobby walls, or feature panels.
Window and door graphics
Cut vinyl lettering, full-colour printed graphics, hours and service decals, and etched-look frost film for privacy and barrier-free door marking.
Best for Where this shines
- New retail and restaurant tenants finishing a leased storefront to landlord sign criteria
- Service businesses, clinics, and offices that need clean window lettering, hours, and door graphics
- Strip-mall and plaza units that need a fascia sign plus a blade sign to catch sidewalk traffic
- Multi-location brands rolling out a consistent storefront look across several Edmonton sites
- Rebrands and ownership changes that need old vinyl and lettering removed and replaced cleanly
- Privacy frosting on glass offices, boardrooms, and clinic entrances
Good to know
- Most landlords require a sign-criteria submission and approval before fabrication. We design to that spec and prepare the submission package, but landlord sign-off can add a week or two to the schedule.
- Illuminated fascia and blade signs, and signs over a certain size or projection, need a City of Edmonton development and sign permit. We handle that as part of the project.
- Blade signs over a public sidewalk have minimum clearance and maximum projection limits under the sign bylaw, which set how big the sign can be.
- Vinyl and awning graphics are durable but not permanent. Expect to refresh window lettering and printed awnings over time, especially on south-facing, high-sun glass.

Common questions.
Yes. Send us the sign-criteria package from your lease or property manager and we design every element, fascia, blade, and window, to that spec, including letter height, materials, illumination rules, and the mounting zone. We then prepare the drawings the landlord needs to approve before anything is built.
Window lettering and graphics usually do not require a permit. A new or illuminated fascia sign, and most blade signs, do require a City of Edmonton development and sign permit. We confirm what your specific signs need and pull the permits as part of the job.
A fascia sign sits flat on the wall band above your storefront and reads to traffic and people facing the building. A blade, or projecting, sign mounts perpendicular to the wall so it reads to pedestrians walking along the sidewalk from either direction. Most storefronts benefit from both.
Yes. We remove old fascia signs, lettering, and window vinyl, patch and clean the mounting surface where needed, and install your new package. Removal and disposal are quoted as part of a rebrand or new-tenant fit-out.
