Custom External Signage Solutions we offer
Bab Al Mashriq designs a comprehensive range of custom external signage. Our in-house manufacturing handles a wide range of outdoor signage solutions, from building identification to site safety. We engineer each sign for specific applications and ensure 100% regulatory compliance.
Building Signage
We provide signage for buildings. Building signage gives primary identification to corporate and residential building facades. We fabricate and install large-scale rooftop logos and high-rise lettering using lightweight aluminum and high-lumen LEDs. Our service includes all structural engineering calculations and all required municipal approvals.
Pylon Signs
Pylon signs are freestanding roadside signs designed for maximum visibility, often exceeding 10 meters in height. We fabricate single- and multi-tenant pylons with internal steel structures to meet Dubai wind-load safety standards. They are the primary solution for petrol stations, malls, and business parks.
Totem Signs
Totem signs are vertically-oriented freestanding signs used for entrance identification and directional information. We craft totems from Premium materials such as aluminium and acrylic, often incorporating illumination. Totems are commonly used for hotel entrances, corporate campuses, and retail directories.
Wayfinding/Directional Signs
Wayfinding signs are essential for navigating large complexes like malls, hospitals, and universities. We produce complete exterior wayfinding signage systems, including post-and-panel signs and directories. Our systems use durable, powder-coated aluminium for long-term legibility and compliance with accessibility standards.
Car Park Signage
Car park signage ensures safe traffic flow, zone identification, and bay management in parking structures. We supply RTA-compliant speed limit signs, clearance bars, and entry/exit signs. We utilize reflective 3M vinyl for high visibility in low-light conditions.
Project Signage
Project signage is temporary signage for active construction sites, including main identification boards and "Coming Soon" advertising. These signs are fabricated from cost-effective materials, such as printed flex-face banners or Coroplast. We ensure that all project signage meets the developer's brand guidelines.
Hoarding
Hoarding transforms construction site perimeters into large-format advertising platforms. We print high-resolution graphics on hoarding panels using UV-cured inks for sun-fading resistance. Hoarding provides essential site privacy and continuous brand promotion during development.
Shop Front Signs
Shop front signs are the primary branding tool for retail businesses, designed to attract foot traffic. This category includes the main fascia sign, window graphics, and entrance signs. Effective shopfront signs can increase walk-in traffic by up to 45%.
Illuminated Signs
Illuminated signs provide 24/7 brand visibility using energy-efficient, IP67-rated LEDs. This includes face-lit, halo-lit (backlit), and edge-lit variations. Our LED signs consume up to 80% less energy than traditional neon signs and have a lifespan of 50,000+ hours.
3D letters
3D metal letters, or channel letters, create a Premium, high-impact effect for logos and text. We fabricate these letters from stainless steel (Grade 304/316), aluminum, and brass. The letters can be non-illuminated or internally illuminated with LEDs for face-lit or halo-lit effects.
Fascia Signs
Fascia signs are mounted directly on the main face, or "fascia," of a building and serve as the primary business identifier. We produce fascia signs as flat panels (using Alubond or acrylic) or as 3D lettering on a raceway. They are the most common form of retail and office signage.
Backlit/frontlit signs
Backlit (halo-lit) signs shine light behind letters for a Premium glow, while frontlit (face-lit) signs illuminate the face for maximum brightness. We recommend frontlit for roadside visibility and backlit for high-end aesthetic branding. This defines the two primary methods of sign illumination.
Safety signs
Safety signs are mandatory for all commercial and industrial facilities in the Dubai. We manufacture a full range of ISO 7010-compliant traffic signage, including fire exit, hazard, and PPE signs. We use photoluminescent materials for visibility during power failures, in compliance with the UAE Fire Code.
Neon Signs
Modern neon signage in Dubai utilizes flexible, shatterproof LED neon flex. This alternative provides the classic neon visual but is 90% more energy-efficient and far more durable than traditional glass. It is ideal for restaurants, retail interiors, and custom event branding.
Projecting signs
Projecting signs, or blade signs, are mounted perpendicular to a building facade to capture pedestrian traffic. We fabricate these as illuminated lightboxes or custom-shaped metal signs. They are highly effective for locating businesses on busy high streets.
Acp Cladding
ACP (Aluminum Composite Panel) cladding is an architectural solution for building facades, columns, and fascias. We use fire-rated ACP panels to create a flat, clean surface for mounting logos and 3D letters. This cladding provides a professional, seamless finish for shop fronts.

Frequently Ask Questions
What is the cost of Outdoor Signage?
The cost of outdoor signage varies from AED 2,000 to over AED 100,000. The final price depends on size, materials (e.g., acrylic vs. steel), illumination type (e.g., LEDs), and installation complexity, including access to a high-rise building.
What is the best outdoor signage for retail stores?
The best signage for retail stores is an illuminated fascia sign combined with a projecting blade sign. The fascia sign builds brand identity, while the projecting sign effectively captures pedestrian foot traffic from the high street, increasing walk-in customers.
What is the best outdoor signage for a restaurant?
The best restaurant signage combines 3D illuminated letters with an external menu box. The 3D letters build a Premium brand, while the menu box directly influences 70% of new-customer dining decisions by displaying current offers.
What is the best material for outdoor signage?
The best materials for outdoor signage in the Dubai are aluminum and UV-resistant acrylic. Aluminium is lightweight, rustproof, and durable, while UV-rated acrylic prevents yellowing and colour fading, ensuring longevity in high-heat and direct sunlight.
Do you provide signage maintenance service?
Yes, we provide comprehensive signage maintenance services across the Dubai. We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMCs) that include scheduled cleaning, electrical component checks, and proactive repairs, extending a sign’s lifespan by an average of 3-5 years.
