Company Services Signs Contact

Overview: All neon signs are constructed with high grade aluminum cabinets (.090" minimum thickness), steel reinforced interframes, and easily accessible service doors. Letter returns (side walls) are heliarc welded, rather than pop riveted or stapled as returns conventionally are. Heliarc welded returns make the signs dryer and stronger, while giving a more solid, smooth appearance. The circuits are mid-point grounded and powered by France® transformers. All signs are painted with a two-part AKZO polyurethane.
 Cost: Although pricing varies greatly, neon signs are generally the most expensive sign type (per square foot).
Catagories
Open Channel letters:
Open channel letters are constructed from computer-routed aluminum bases (.090 min. thickness) Aluminum side walls (usually .090 thickness) are welded to the perimiter of the plates, giving the letters a third dimension. Exposed neon fills the inside of the letter (See Wild Wing to left).
Plastic Face
Channel letters :
Covered-face channel letters are essentially open chanel letters with plex faces attached to a channel letter by jewelite letter trim (see Arby's letters below).
Reverse halo letters:
Similar in construction to plastic-face letters, reverse halo letters are constructed from reverse channel letters internally illuminated by neon. The back of the letters are covered by clear plex which allows light to shine through the back of the letter, creating a halo appearance around the letter.
Exposed Neon:
Exposed neon includes all neon not enclosed by aluminum sidewalls. The most common example is border tubing around buildings (See neon to left).

Overview: Lipscomb Signs offers installation with all signs it manufactures, although in many cases, such as program work, it's more cost effective to subcontract installation to a local company. Installations handled by Lipscomb Signs are carried out with the latest field equipment in order to ensure the safety of our personnel and to facilitate a stress-free experience for our customers.
Lipscomb Signs' key to successful installations:
New equipment:
Utilizing the latest equipment has been a theme throughout the Lipscomb Signs organization, but nowhere has this emphasis been as great as in the installation division. The oldest crane in the Lipscomb Signs fleet is a 118' 1993 model and the newest a 146' 1999 model. In addition to being very modern, the Lipscomb Signs equipment roster is varied. Lipscomb Signs owns and operates service ladders, backhoes, Bobcat loaders, a Genie boom, pressure drilling machines, and transfer trucks with lowboy trailer capacity for large signs on a daily basis.

Lipscomb Signs' variety of modern equipment is driven by highly-trained professionals with in-depth experience in sign installation.
