Make a Statement with Exterior Storefront Signage
Your storefront sign is the first handshake with your customer. At DisplayWorks Signs & Graphics, we design, fabricate, and install exterior signage that captures attention 24/7. Whether you need a high-impact illuminated logo or a clean, modern non-illuminated display, we build signage that handles Calgary’s extreme temperature swings and high winds.
Types of Exterior Signs We Offer
Illuminated Channel Letters: Premium 3D letters with front-lit, backlit (halo), or combination lighting for a high-end corporate look.
Non-Illuminated Dimensional Signs: Budget-friendly but high-impact. We use flat-cut aluminum, acrylic, or 3D-printed PVC to create depth without the need for electrical.
Fascia Panels & ACM Signs: Clean, professional panels made from Alumalite or Dibond—perfect for retail plazas and industrial bays.
Sign Cabinets & Box Signs
We offer high-quality illuminated and non-illuminated sign boxes built for maximum visibility and long-term durability in the Calgary climate.
Flat-Face Illuminated Cabinets: Featuring vibrant, full-color graphics printed on our HP Latex 330. We use high-translucency acrylic or polycarbonate faces to ensure your brand colors stay punchy and bright when the sun goes down.
Premium Push-Through Acrylic Cabinets: A high-end architectural option where we CNC-cut your logo out of a solid aluminum sign face. We then "push" thick acrylic letters through the openings, creating a 3D effect where only the dimensional elements glow.
Double-Sided Projecting Signs (Blade Signs): Increase your visibility to foot traffic and drivers with a double-sided cabinet mounted perpendicular to your building.
LED Retrofits & Face Replacements: If you have an existing sign box, we can manufacture and install fresh custom faces and convert old, flickering fluorescent tubes to energy-efficient, cold-weather-rated LEDs.
Built for the Calgary Climate
We don't just build for looks; we build for durability. We use:
High-output LED modules rated for cold-weather performance.
UV-stable inks and laminates to prevent fading in the intense Alberta sun.
Heavy-duty mounting hardware to ensure your sign stays secure during high-wind events.
Our Fabrication & Install Process
Site Survey & Measurement: We confirm sizing, visibility, and mounting requirements at your location.
Design & 3D Proofing: We provide a digital mockup showing exactly how the sign will look on your building.
In-House Fabrication: Using CNC routing and 3D printing, we create every component with precision.
Permit & Electrical Coordination: We guide you through City of Calgary sign permits and coordinate with licensed electricians for final 120V hookups.
