Case Studies

We can confidently say, we’ve never seen a design like this one. This rebar inspired design had us pulling out all the stops to ensure stability, quality manufacturing, then successfully deliver for our clients to install.

We can con­fi­dent­ly say that we’ve nev­er seen a design like the one our friends at Lat­i­tude Sig­nage + Design brought us. The archi­tect on their project, based out of Los Ange­les, pro­vid­ed a con­cept using rebar as a design ele­ment for the exte­ri­or sign fam­i­ly. From direc­tion­als to mon­u­ments, rebar is everywhere. 

The size and weight of the mate­r­i­al itself posed many unique chal­lenges we were able to solve in the end, including: 

• Using bar stock inside the cab­i­net to hold the rebar from mov­ing and destroy­ing the alu­minum cabinet
• Ensur­ing that the rebar in the sig­nage didn’t move or bend under it’s own weight. 
• Coor­di­nat­ing the logis­tics of the trans­porta­tion and instal­la­tion of a project of this size and weight.

In the end, we used 315 pieces of ⅞” DIA steel rebar, for a total weight of 3.46 tons or 7,627 pounds. We also used 10 gal­lons of clear coat to pre­vent the rebar from rust­ing in the ele­ments. Our team fab­ri­cat­ed all the sig­nage for this project in 425 hours.
