Commercial Awnings in Greater St. Louis
A commercial awning can help define a storefront entrance and support the building's identity. For a restaurant, retail shop or other business, its shape, color and relationship to the sign should be considered as part of the whole storefront.
Fit the awning to the building
Windows, doors, facade features and the available mounting area affect the design. The awning should make the entrance easy to recognize without hiding important architecture or identification. Supply a straight-on storefront photo and approximate dimensions for an initial discussion.
Coordinate branding and appearance
Color and any proposed graphics should work with the business sign, surrounding storefronts and landlord criteria. An awning concept is a design reference, not evidence of a completed installation. Compare proposed materials and construction only against the actual scope offered for the project.
Define what the purchase includes
An awning proposal needs site-specific dimensions, attachment considerations and applicable owner/local approvals. State the intended use and desired coverage so suitability can be evaluated; do not assume weather protection or performance beyond the specified product. Discuss the complete commercial awning purchase and its installation requirements with S.O.I.
Planning a sign in the St. Louis region
Share the exact project address so the applicable jurisdiction and site requirements can be identified. Landlord or association approval and municipal sign approval are separate considerations. No approval, sign dimension or installation date is assumed before the actual project is reviewed.
Questions before you request a quote
Can an awning and storefront sign be planned together?
Yes. Planning their positions and colors together helps create a coherent entrance, subject to the building and approval requirements.
Can I use the website concept as an exact specification?
No. Dimensions, materials, attachment and project scope need to be defined for the actual building before an order is approved.
Talk through your complete sign project
Send your address, photographs, artwork if available and any landlord or association criteria. Explain whether you are opening, relocating, rebranding or replacing a sign. S.O.I. can discuss the appropriate next information for your proposal.
