Blade Signs in Brooklyn
Projecting blade signs perpendicular to your facade - the single best way to capture sidewalk traffic from down the block. Shaped, painted and mounted in our Brooklyn workshop, permitted across NYC.
Design your blade signWhy a blade sign earns its place
Storefront signs on the facade above your door read perfectly from across the street - but on busy Brooklyn sidewalks, half the foot traffic is walking parallel to your shop and never looks up. A blade sign perpendicular to the wall sits in their line of sight from a block away and pulls them through the door.
It is the single biggest upgrade most existing storefronts can make without redoing the main sign. Most of our blade-sign customers add one to a storefront that has been open for years.
Materials and finish
Standard blades are cut from aluminum composite (lightweight, paintable, weather-stable) with edge-mounted LED accent strips optional. Period storefronts in Park Slope, Cobble Hill or Brooklyn Heights often go with welded steel or solid wood for the look of a traditional pub or apothecary sign - hand-painted lettering and gold-leaf detail available on request.
For Landmarks districts we know which materials and bracket styles pass review and we build the LPC application around them - saves a month of back-and-forth.
NYC permits, install and bracket engineering
Projecting signs in NYC require a DOB permit (it is structural - the bracket loads the facade) plus a sidewalk-occupancy permit on install day. Landmarks districts add an LPC review. We handle all three and quote the timeline up front so you know whether you are looking at 3 weeks or 8 weeks.
Bracket design is engineered for the wall material (brick, brownstone, terracotta, glass storefronts) and the sign size + weight. We never use anchor styles that compromise the facade or skip permit hardware.
