Q: What are traditional glass neon signs?

Traditional glass neon signs are made using hand-bent glass tubes filled with neon or other noble gases. When electricity is applied, the gas inside the tubes emits a bright, colourful glow, creating a classic and eye-catching display.

Q: How are traditional neon signs different from LED neon signs?

Traditional neon signs use glass tubes and gases like neon or argon to produce light, giving them a warm, retro glow. LED neon signs use flexible LED strips to mimic the look of neon, offering more energy efficiency and durability, but lacking the handcrafted charm of traditional neon.

Q: Can I customise the colour and design of my neon sign?

Yes, at Signstar, we offer full customisation for traditional glass neon signs, including a wide range of colours, shapes, and designs. Our skilled craftsmen can create intricate lettering, logos, or artistic designs to match your vision.

Q: Are traditional glass neon signs suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, traditional neon signs can be used outdoors when properly sealed and protected against the elements. Our team can provide guidance on how to ensure the longevity of your outdoor neon sign, including weatherproofing options.

Q: How do I maintain a traditional glass neon sign?

Traditional neon signs require some care to ensure their longevity. This includes keeping them clean and avoiding direct impact to the glass tubes. Regular maintenance checks can help ensure that your neon sign continues to operate safely and looks its best.

Q: How long do traditional glass neon signs last?

With proper care and maintenance, traditional neon signs can last for many years. The lifespan depends on factors such as the quality of the materials used and the frequency of use. Our team is here to provide advice on how to get the most out of your neon sign.

Traditional Glass Neon Signage?

Traditional glass neon signs are an iconic choice for businesses and venues looking to create a vibrant, retro atmosphere. At Signstar, we specialise in crafting custom traditional neon signs, using the classic process of bending glass tubes filled with neon gas to create bright, eye-catching displays. Ideal for storefronts, bars, restaurants, and more, traditional glass neon signs bring a nostalgic glow that captures attention and makes a lasting impression.

Unlike modern LED alternatives, traditional neon is made by hand, bending glass tubes into intricate shapes and letters before filling them with neon or other noble gases. When an electric current is applied, the gases inside the tubes emit a bright, colourful glow that is visible even from a distance. With a wide range of colours available, traditional neon signs offer a unique way to display logos, text, or artistic designs, creating an unmistakable visual impact.

Traditional glass neon signs are often chosen for their warm, timeless appeal and are perfect for businesses that want to stand out with a distinctive look. They are highly effective for creating atmosphere, whether you’re going for a retro diner vibe or an art deco style. While they require more care than LED signs, the charm and authenticity of traditional neon cannot be replicated.

At Signstar, we combine our expertise in neon craftsmanship with the latest safety standards, ensuring that your neon sign is built to last. Our team works closely with you to bring your ideas to life, from initial design to installation, so that your traditional glass neon sign perfectly complements your space and brand.

Signstar installed a very impressive text sign for Builder Depot New Southgate on the buildings shell, 20m high. The initial stages of the design were thoroughly discussed and we were supplied high quality digital mock ups. Installation was completed without a hitch, very quickly and just in time for Christmas. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Great communication, great attitude and a really fantastic sign which perfectly fit the brief.

Always had a good experience using Signstar. Mitchell will always come back to me to ask questions if anything was unclear, and offer different solutions if he felt something didnt work – on the design stage. Good advice is always given when asking for idea. Price is reasonable and competitive. Service is reliable.

OMG I am OBSESSED with my shop front sign from Signstar! Alex has been amazing and really taken the time to make sure everything was perfect! I chose a very tricky colour to work with but they really made sure I got what I wanted. I also had an indoor sign made exactly to match my logo (which is a very fiddly thing to replicate) and they smashed it!! Thank you so much.
