Front-Lit Signage That Speaks Before You Do
Illuminated fascia and blade signage manufacturing and installation for Bake Al Arab Sweets and Pastries at their Khalifa City branch.
Bake Al Arab Sweets and Pastries brought Metroplus in to deliver an illuminated emblem on stone at Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi. Bake Al Arab's glowing emblem sits on a patterned stone wall, giving the bakery a distinctive entrance.
Logo panels are built as a single unit, with the mark, frame and lighting designed together so illumination is even and fixings stay hidden. Feature-wall elements are templated on site and fixed with concealed hardware so the finish stays clean and the wall remains the star.
In food and beverage, signage is part of the appetite appeal. Warm, even light, legible names and menus, and a frontage that is easy to spot from the walkway or the street help turn passers-by into guests.
Street-facing locations are exposed to sun, dust and humidity, so enclosures, finishes and lighting are specified for outdoor durability and straightforward long-term maintenance.
All fabrication for this project was carried out in-house at our Jebel Ali and Sharjah production facilities, from shop drawings through to on-site installation, so design intent, quality and programme stay under one roof.
