Awning Signs vs Channel Letters in Toronto

Choosing a sign for your storefront? Here is how awnings and channel letters compare, so you can pick the right one for your business.

We build channel letters in house at our North York shop. We can also arrange a custom awning if that is the better fit for your store.

Why Most Stores Choose Channel Letters

Channel letters work like a sign that never sleeps. Your name stays bright and clear day and night.

Visible after dark

LED lighting makes your store easy to find in the evening and in winter.

Built to last

Aluminum and acrylic stand up to Toronto weather with very little upkeep.

Made in our shop

We design, build and install your sign ourselves, so you deal with one team from start to finish.

A premium look

Clean, sharp letters make your brand look established and professional.

When an Awning Makes Sense

An awning can still be the right choice. Prefer an awning? We can do that too.

You need shade

Great for patios, cafés and entrances that get strong sun or rain.

Your building or landlord asks for it

Some plazas and older buildings require awnings over the storefront.

You want a softer look

Fabric awnings suit restaurants, bakeries and casual shops.
