Shop signs in Cobh.
Cobh's waterfront businesses trade on visitors as much as locals, and their signs have to cope with salt air off the harbour.

Many of the bars, restaurants and shops around Westbourne Place and Casement Square face the water. Salt air is hard on mild steel and cheap fixings, so we build harbour-front signs in aluminium and stainless steel with sealed LED units and stainless fixings.
The town gets a big lift in footfall when cruise ships berth at the terminal. A sign that reads well from across the square, and a projecting sign that catches people walking along the front, both earn their keep on those days.
Cobh's colourful, older frontages are a big part of its appeal. We design signs that suit the building, which also tends to go down better with the planners.

Planning permission
Cobh is in the Cork County Council area. Some of the town's older buildings are protected structures, so check the record of protected structures before you order. Our planning guide explains the limits.
Questions from Cobh
What materials last best on a Cobh seafront sign?
Aluminium and stainless steel, powder-coated or polished, with stainless fixings and sealed outdoor LEDs. Mild steel and standard fixings corrode quickly in salt air.
Can you make a projecting sign for a Cobh shopfront?
Yes. Round and shaped projecting light boxes are one of our specialities. To be exempt from planning, it must be at least 2 m above the footpath and project no more than 1 m.
Do you fit in Cobh?
Yes. It is about half an hour from our workshop and our own team does every fitting.
Have you made signs in Cobh before?
The finished jobs on this site are in Cork city, including Phonetastic, Dixy Chicken, Speedo, Sky Smoke 1 and Smoke City. A job in Cobh runs the same way: we measure and photograph the building, send a mock-up and a written quote, then make the sign in Ballinora and fit it ourselves.
