Pure Image Signs and Graphics is a Maple Ridge–based sign company providing fascia signs and custom fascia signage throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. From illuminated storefront panels to non-illuminated building-mounted signs, we design, fabricate, and install fascia signage that creates professional street presence and effective business identification.
Fascia signs are flat-panel signs mounted to the fascia—the vertical face of a building between the roofline and top of ground-floor windows. This prominent location makes fascia signage ideal for primary business identification visible to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Fascia signage provides primary branding for retail stores in shopping plazas, strip malls, and standalone buildings. Large format panels accommodate complete business names, logos, and essential information.
Shopping centers and commercial plazas use fascia signs for consistent tenant identification. Standardized cabinet sizes and mounting systems create a uniform appearance while allowing individual tenant branding.
Compared to dimensional letters or channel letter installations, custom fascia signs offer an economical option for business identification, suitable for budget-conscious operations or temporary tenancies.
Fascia signage with removable graphic panels allows efficient tenant changes without complete sign replacement—valuable for landlords managing multi-tenant properties.
We provide diverse fascia signage solutions addressing different visibility requirements, budgets, and property situations.
Illumination turns your fascia into a 24/7 branding tool. These options typically use LED lighting inside or behind the sign, ensuring your fascia signage stands out after dark and in low‑light conditions.
Common illuminated types include:
Best for: Hospitality venues, restaurants, late‑hour retailers.
Vinyl graphics offer versatile and affordable customization. You can apply cut vinyl lettering or full‑colour graphics to flat fascia panels to highlight brand messaging, promotions, or seasonal campaigns.
Best for: Budget‑conscious businesses and flexible promotional messaging.
Professional Street Presence
Quality fascia signs communicate established, legitimate business operations, enhancing customer confidence and brand perception.
Cost-Effective Identification
Fascia signage offers an economical way to identify a business compared to dimensional alternatives while maintaining a professional appearance.
Efficient Tenant Management
Property owners benefit from standardized fascia sign systems, allowing quick tenant changeover and consistent property aesthetics.
Reliable Performance
Modern LED illumination and quality construction provide years of dependable service with minimal maintenance requirements.
Material selection affects the appearance, durability, and maintenance requirements of fascia signage.
Industry-standard substrate combining aluminum faces with polymer core. Aluminum composite panels provide excellent flatness, weather resistance, and finish durability for both illuminated and non-illuminated fascia signs.
Polycarbonate Face Panels
Modern replacement for traditional acrylic offering superior impact resistance and UV stability. Polycarbonate faces maintain their clarity and colour longer than older materials, which is particularly important for illuminated custom fascia signs.
Energy-efficient LED modules provide uniform illumination across fascia sign faces. Modern LED systems offer lifespans of 50,000+ hours, reduced energy consumption, and a consistent colour temperature compared to older fluorescent systems.
Aluminum Frame Construction
Extruded aluminum frames provide structural support, housing for electrical components, and weather-resistant enclosures for illuminated fascia signage.
Strategic design ensures fascia signage delivers visibility and brand recognition.
Fascia signs must be readable from appropriate viewing distances. Letter sizing depends on expected viewing distance—storefronts targeting pedestrians require smaller letters than those serving vehicular traffic.
High contrast between background and text ensures readability across varied lighting conditions. Brand colours should be applied strategically, maintaining visibility while supporting brand recognition.
Custom fascia signs should prioritize the business name, with secondary information like taglines or services receiving appropriate but reduced emphasis.
Illuminated fascia signage suits businesses operating evenings, locations with poor ambient lighting, or properties requiring 24-hour identification. Non-illuminated options work for daytime operations in well-lit areas.
Across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, fascia signage adapts easily to different building types, tenant structures, and zoning requirements, making it one of the most widely used signage solutions in commercial environments.
Multi-tenant shopping plazas rely on fascia signage to maintain a unified architectural look while still allowing each tenant to express its brand. Property owners often specify size, placement, and materials, ensuring visual consistency across the plaza. For landlords, standardized fascia systems simplify tenant turnover, reduce retrofit costs, and support long-term property value.
Strip mall storefronts use fascia signs as their primary exterior identifier. These signs provide clear visibility from parking lots and roadways while remaining budget-friendly for smaller retailers. Lightweight materials and straightforward installation make custom fascia signs ideal for businesses that need professional branding without high upfront investment.
Standalone retail properties benefit from custom fascia signs designed for maximum street exposure. Mounted above entrances or spanning the full façade, these signs reinforce brand presence and work seamlessly alongside window graphics, pylon signs, or monument signage. Properly designed fascia signage improves curb appeal and strengthens brand recognition from a distance.
Service-based businesses such as medical clinics, salons, dental offices, and professional firms often prefer fascia signage for its clean, understated appearance. These signs deliver clear identification while aligning with professional brand standards and local signage bylaws. Fascia signs also allow flexibility in typography and color without the complexity of dimensional lettering.
Industrial and warehouse facilities commonly use non-illuminated fascia signs for straightforward building identification and wayfinding. These signs prioritize function over ornamentation, helping visitors, drivers, and delivery teams quickly locate units. Durable materials ensure long-term performance in Vancouver’s coastal climate while keeping costs controlled.
Understanding when fascia signage represents the optimal choice versus alternative approaches.
Channel letters provide superior dimensional presence and upscale appearance, but require higher investment and more complex installation. Fascia signs offer an economical alternative with faster installation and easier tenant changeover.
Dimensional letters create architectural interest and premium positioning. Fascia signage provides cost-effective identification suitable for budget-conscious businesses or temporary tenancies.
Monument signs suit properties requiring freestanding identification. Fascia signage works for building-mounted identification where monument signs aren’t feasible or permitted.
Vancouver-area municipalities regulate fascia signage through sign bylaws addressing dimensions, placement, and illumination.
Municipalities typically regulate fascia sign maximum dimensions based on building frontage, fascia sign placement relative to building features, illumination brightness and operating hours, and setbacks from property lines for projecting elements.
