Signage specialist Signbox has placed itself firmly in the public’s eye by putting the finishing touches to office space near to Brooklands, the historic motor and aviation museum, and the aerodrome that predates it.

The new-look building features a series of both interior and exterior signage
After the building’s owner decided to revamp the site, Oakmont Construction was brought in to support the project, with the finished result being more than 35,000sq ft of modern office space over four floors.
Signbox played a major role in the effort, helping to finish off the work in style by designing, manufacturing and installing various signs at the site—including an eye-catching backlit, painted glass reception directory with polished aluminium frame in the entrance lobby.
Matthew Wilkins, director at Signbox, comments: “The architects had very detailed designs and it was our job to interpret those to deliver a functional and effective finished product.
“This was a fantastic project to work on. We’ve worked with Oakmont Construction a number of times before and always found them a pleasure to do business with.”

Signbox also constructed, and fitted skyline signage for the top of the entrance portico and to each elevation, while at street level, the firm added a fabricated perimeter sign and car park entrance monolith.
All of exterior signage is powder-coated stainless steel with LED illumination and controlled by solar switch.
Wilkins adds: “The high elevation signage at the top of the entrance portico needed to be highly secure and finished all round to conceal the internal LED's from the view of those looking out from the top floor offices and roof terrace. We also needed to account for the angle of the portico roof in fixing the letters in place.
“The signage on either elevation of the portico was manufactured from the same powder coated, stainless steel as the portico cladding it was mounted on. We added a highlight LED strip around the edges of the letters to provide halo illumination.”
