Illuminated GR8 Real Estate signboard in Jumeirah

3D Signage

3D Signage & Illuminated Letters

Illuminated letters, acrylic and metal signs, and architectural branding, designed and fabricated at our Sharjah warehouse, and installed in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and across the UAE.

Made in-house

3D signage for Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the UAE

GB Advertising has been making signboards for more than 25 years, from our Sharjah warehouse. Our 3D signage is designed, cut, assembled, wired and finished in our own workshop in Industrial Area 12, Sharjah, and our team installs it for shops, offices, showrooms, restaurants and building facades in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates. Because the work stays in-house, we control the quality of every letter and can adjust a design quickly when your site needs it.

Shopfront and building work on our portfolio includes GR8 Real Estate in Jumeirah, LOKI Beauty Lounge in Arjan, Dubai, Scentation General Trading LLC in Al Quoz 1, Dubai, Aksara Jewellers in the Gold Souq, Deira, Dubai, and Victoria Medical Center on Sharjah Corniche. We have delivered 1,500+ projects for 500+ clients.

Types of 3D signage we make

  • Front-lit letters with an acrylic face that glows evenly at night.
  • Back-lit (halo) letters that throw a soft light onto the wall behind them, popular for reception walls and premium shopfronts.
  • Side-lit and full-lit letters for maximum visibility from the street.
  • Non-illuminated 3D letters for indoor branding, lobbies and feature walls.
  • 2D cut-out letters and logos, plus acrylic-face light boxes.
  • Logos and shapes cut to match your brand guidelines exactly.

Letter types and materials

Letter types and materials we fabricate

The letter type is about how the sign is built and how it lights; the material is about the face, the return and the finish. We help you choose both for the wall, the viewing distance and whether the sign will sit indoors or outdoors in the UAE.

Letter types we make include front-lit letters (an illuminated acrylic face), back-lit or halo letters (light onto the wall behind), side-lit letters with a slim illuminated edge, full-lit letters for strong street visibility, and non-illuminated built-up 3D letters for lobbies and feature walls. We also make 2D cut-out letters, indoor logos and acrylic-face light boxes. Many shop fronts combine a metal return with an acrylic face, so the letter looks solid by day and glows at night.

Materials include aluminium, stainless steel, acrylic, Chanelium, titanium, electroplated finishes, wood, Forex and ACP. Stainless steel can be finished in gold, silver, bronze, black or dark silver, and in mirror or brushed surfaces. Forex is used in thicknesses from 6 to 36 mm for indoor letters and shapes. LED modules are chosen to suit indoor or outdoor use, and outdoor signs are built to handle UAE heat, sun and dust. We match your brand colours and can combine materials on a single logo.
