Learn about Commercial Signs & Building Signage and how to use these to identify your Utah business or property, promote yourself, and display way finding information.

Building Signage

Commercial signs are essential for any business, commercial property, or organisation that wants to be visible, recognizable, and easy to navigate. From identifying your building to promoting your brand and guiding visitors, professional commercial signage plays a major role in how customers experience your business. Well-designed commercial signs help establish credibility, attract attention, and communicate important information—long before someone steps inside.

What are commercial signs?

Commercial signs include all signage used by businesses and commercial properties to identify their location, promote their brand, and provide wayfinding or directional information. This includes exterior building signs, interior signs, and freestanding signage placed around the property. One of the most common forms of commercial signage is building signage, which is installed directly on the exterior of a building to identify the business or property it serves.

Commercial building signage explained

Building signage is a key category within commercial signage. These signs are mounted to exterior walls and are typically used to identify a business, office, institution, or commercial facility. In multi-building environments such as office parks, campuses, or medical complexes, building signage often becomes part of a coordinated system known as architectural signage. These signs create consistency across properties while making navigation easier for visitors.

How commercial signage benefits your business

Commercial signage does more than display a name—it supports branding, improves visibility, and enhances customer experience. Exterior commercial signs make it easier for customers to find your business and recognize it from a distance. Building signs help establish trust and professionalism, while directional and wayfinding signage reduces confusion and improves flow for customers, tenants, and visitors. For public and commercial properties, signage is not just helpful—it’s necessary.

Types of commercial and building signs

Commercial signage can be created in a wide range of styles depending on your location and goals. Common options include building-mounted signs, dimensional letter signs, illuminated signs for enhanced visibility, and architectural signage systems for multi-building properties. In some cases, monument signs are used alongside building signage. Although monument signs are freestanding, they serve the same commercial purpose by identifying the business or property closer to the roadway and increasing visibility for passing traffic.

Materials and visibility options

Commercial and building signs can be fabricated using materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, brass, acrylic, and composite panels. Metal signs are especially popular for their durability and clean, professional appearance. Illumination options, including LED lighting and backlit lettering, can significantly improve visibility during evening and nighttime hours. We help you select materials, finishes, and lighting that align with your brand and comply with local sign codes.
