A shop sign should make the business easy to find and fit the building it belongs to. Texture Dublin provides a dedicated signage service alongside its furniture and carpentry service. Sign production and installation are handled by the signage specialist; Ali Onder coordinates enquiries with the right person.
Our base is Barstown Commercial Park, Barstown, Dunboyne, Co. Meath. We take signage enquiries for Dublin, Meath and nearby locations, including coordinated commercial furniture and signage projects.
Choose the sign around the premises
A fascia sign sits across the shopfront. Projecting signs can help people approaching along the street. Individual built-up letters create a different visual effect from a flat panel, while a lightbox or illuminated lettering needs suitable power, maintenance access and a considered lighting design.
Send a straight-on photo of the whole frontage and wider photos of the street context. Approximate dimensions, installation height and the condition of the fixing surface help the specialist assess the next steps. Mention whether an existing sign needs to be removed.
Prepare artwork for production
A vector logo is useful because it can be scaled for production. Supply your brand colours, intended wording and any typefaces or artwork files you already have. If all you have is a small image, say so early so that artwork preparation can be discussed.
Ask for the proposed dimensions, materials, finish, fixing method and illumination to be confirmed before production. A readable sign at street level may need a simpler layout than a logo viewed close up on a screen.
Check requirements before manufacture
Planning, landlord consent and public-space licensing depend on the premises and proposed sign. Do not assume an existing sign means any replacement is automatically permitted. Ask the relevant local authority what applies to the address and proposal, especially for illumination, projecting signs, protected structures or conservation areas.
Dublin City Council’s development standards discuss shopfront design and its relationship to the building. Meath County Council’s planning guidance explains how to check whether permission is needed. Signs affecting public places can involve a separate licence; see the local government permits and licences overview.
This is a project preparation checklist, not a determination that a particular sign is permitted. Confirm requirements directly with the relevant authority before committing to manufacture.
What to include in your enquiry
Send Ali Onder the business address, frontage photos, rough dimensions, logo files and your intended opening date. Say whether you need illumination, window graphics, removal of old signage or furniture for the same premises.
Most signage is priced on enquiry. The quotation should identify artwork preparation, fabrication, installation, access equipment, electrical responsibilities, delivery and applicable taxes. Confirm permissions and dependencies alongside the design so the production programme is based on agreed information.
