Flexface lightbox for Yapton marketing suite

This week we were working in partnership with Phaeon Marketing which saw us install a mitred flexface lightbox at Dandara in Yapton. As you can see the result looks fantastic, especially in the Great British sunshine. The marketing suite lightbox is fitted with a day/night blackout skin which was liquid laminated to provide a strong long-lasting visual effect. The fascia is aesthetically pleasing, especially when lit from dusk as the text and pattern illuminate whilst the blue background remains dark as blocked out from behind.   Installation was smooth with the site survey delivering accurate measurements down to the millimetre, which enabled ease of fitting right next to temporary site scaffolding. If you’re looking for signage that’s unique or ergonomically engineered to fit your environment, get in touch with one of our sign consultants today. 01252 336000 | enquiry@readesigns.com

Setting the scene – Chelsea Creek, London

Setting the scene Location: Chelsea Creek, London Client: St George Project: Internally represent the apartments external view whilst enclosed during development. This smart installation delivered a faux balcony experience within a show apartment of which was encased during development. The solution we provided consisted of framed lightboxes fronted with back lit printed skins. This not only provided a visualisation of the apartments perspective for the customer but also delivered the right amount of light into the apartment for an accurate living experience. The LED lighting within the lightbox provided energy saving properties with accurate consistent light levels for the room plus anti-flicker. Customers enjoy taking personal videos during their sales experience and signage is now required to perform well on HD video recording as a customer may choose to take footage whilst visiting. Working with the brand team at St George has seen us provide internal selling solutions at the forefront of their marketing campaigns as showcased here. You can view previous external site hoarding and architectural wayfinding for St George in our previous blogs.

Elephant Park, Elephant & Castle, London 

Elephant Park, Elephant & Castle, London Whilst developing further signage at Elephant Park we were tasked with providing a selection of infills that were to meet the latest government fire regulation standards, specifically for residential apartment blocks. Combustible sheet material has for years been the go-to within the industry for such projects, due to its quality and project longevity favoured by clients but in this case fitting this material within three metres of residential housing has now become obsolete.  To overcome the fire regulation concerns we utilised a printed roll material instead that met all regulations, provided fantastic graphic representation plus added value and peace of mind for the client. Branding and signage must meet stringent criteria within application, and it is essential that appropriate risk assessment is taken on a project to ensure all aspects of design, build and fitting meet the latest standards and legislation. Here at Reade Signs safety is paramount.

A fresh branded office environment for Lendlease

Client & location – Lendlease, Elephant Park, London UK Design agency – Chocolate Manufacturing and fitting – Reade Signs Brief – Aid design, manufacture and install a combination of full print and decal cut vinyl to walls and surfaces throughout a four-storey cabin block. Complete whilst keeping socially distant for client and employee safety. Install to be completed during out of office hours. All Lendlease – Elephant Park Whilst health and safety has ramped up with extra COVID-19 precautions it’s been an ideal time to address the look of your business internally as well as externally. Lendlease being a business who’re very much on the front foot with modern design and branding, addressed both simultaneously. Reade Signs worked alongside Lendlease’s design agency ‘Chocolate’ to deliver aesthetic graphics that meet the strict brand guidelines and marcomms that the company wish to deliver with their brand. The project saw application of signage across multiple surfaces often applied to office furniture, desks and even on technology charging lockers. Working within an office that’s on brand and delivers a company vision can really help to motivate staff, especially during a period of uncertainty like we have right now with this pandemic. You can really feel from the photographs below that employees now feel part of a new, memorable and clean environment.  “The project threw up a few challenges, including the building being partially occupied during the installation process and social distancing being a key factor to the projects progress. I found the Reade team to be extremely flexible in their approach to working out of hours where required, to ensure any time delays as a result of this did not impact the overall delivery of the project. We were all delighted with the end results that saw the hard work in the design process bought to life fantastically well, with great attention to detail and intricacy.” Rianna Day – Senior Marketing Manager
