Neon Signs for the Holidays



Neon signs just got even better. So many people are now using Neon in their homes as actual art on the walls. The problem they run into is that they think neon just floats in mid air. There are tons of pictures on the Internet showing just neon on a wall. No wires, no transformers and no backing. Most of these images are Photoshop pictures and are completely fake. Now don't get me wrong, you actually CAN mount neon directly to the wall but only AFTER you get your sign. To ship your custom neon sign, it must be mounted to a backing or the glass will break during shipping. The backing itself is usually a black or clear lexan which is a hard plastic or acrylic. This keeps the glass secure during transit and also makes it easy to relocate if you decide to move your sign. If you choose to mount it directly to a wall you will need to remove the backing from the glass yourself, hide the wires in the walls and also hide the transformer. Its quite an ordeal to do so. To make life easier we now offer what we call stand offs that you can purchase with your neon sign. This way you can mount your sign flush to the wall and the transformer will be behind the sign out of sight.
