Blade Signs & Projecting Signs — Ottawa
Perpendicular-mounted signs that catch pedestrian attention along the sidewalk — custom blade and projecting signs designed and installed for Ottawa businesses.
Blade signs project perpendicular to the building face, making your business visible to pedestrians walking along the sidewalk — not just to drivers passing at street speed. For businesses on high-foot-traffic streets, a well-designed blade sign is often the most effective sign investment per dollar. Lundon Calling fabricates and installs custom blade and projecting signs for Ottawa's retail, restaurant, and hospitality businesses.
Every blade sign fabricated to your exact dimensions, shape, and finish — aluminum, HDU, or dimensional material.
Standard painted or vinyl-faced blade signs, and LED-illuminated projecting signs for 24-hour visibility.
City of Ottawa projecting sign permits under By-law 2016-326 managed as part of every project.
Aluminum, high-density urethane (HDU), acrylic, and dimensional fabrications in any custom shape.
Blade & Projecting Sign Options
From standard aluminum blade signs to dimensional hand-crafted projecting signs — every format designed for pedestrian visibility.
Aluminum Blade Signs
Fabricated aluminum in custom shapes and sizes. Single or double-face. Painted, powder-coated, or vinyl-faced. The standard workhorse blade sign for commercial Ottawa applications.
Illuminated Projecting Signs
LED-illuminated blade signs for 24-hour visibility. Internal illumination through translucent faces, or external illumination with directional LED fixtures. Permits required and managed by Lundon Calling.
Under-Canopy Signs
Signs mounted beneath building canopies at pedestrian eye level — common in downtown Ottawa commercial buildings and enclosed retail corridors. High visibility at the moment of decision.
Hanging Blade Signs
Signs suspended from a decorative bracket below a fixed awning or canopy. Popular with boutiques, specialty retail, and restaurants with heritage or design-forward aesthetics.
Dimensional Projecting Signs
Three-dimensional shaped signs projecting from the building face. Custom silhouettes, dimensional lettering, or shaped HDU signs. Common for boutiques, restaurants, and specialty retail that want a distinctive street presence.
Double-Face HDU Blade Signs
High-density urethane blade signs with carved or painted faces. The premium craft option for businesses that want an artisan aesthetic — routed letters, carved details, hand-painted finishes.
Blade Sign Permits in Ottawa
Projecting and blade signs require a City of Ottawa sign permit under By-law 2016-326. The by-law specifies maximum projection distance from the building face, minimum clearance height above grade, and maximum sign area for projecting signs. NCC-regulated zones — including properties facing major federal corridors — have additional restrictions. Lundon Calling manages all permit applications as part of our standard blade sign installation service.
