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.
| Awning | Channel Letters | |
|---|---|---|
| Seen at night | Needs separate lights | Built in LED, glows after dark |
| Look | Soft and casual | Clean, sharp and premium |
| Weather | Fabric can fade and tear over time | Aluminum and acrylic, no fabric to wear out |
| Upkeep | Cleaning and new fabric every few years | Very little |
| Shade for the entrance | Yes | No |
| Made by | Our trusted awning partner | Built in our North York shop |

Channel letters work like a sign that never sleeps. Your name stays bright and clear day and night.
LED lighting makes your store easy to find in the evening and in winter.
Aluminum and acrylic stand up to Toronto weather with very little upkeep.
We design, build and install your sign ourselves, so you deal with one team from start to finish.
Clean, sharp letters make your brand look established and professional.

An awning can still be the right choice. Prefer an awning? We can do that too.
Great for patios, cafés and entrances that get strong sun or rain.
Some plazas and older buildings require awnings over the storefront.
Fabric awnings suit restaurants, bakeries and casual shops.
