A Strong Collaboration

Partnering Across States

  • Working Together Again: SignWorks is proud to continue its partnership with Archetype, an out-of-state sign company. Together, they are taking on the task of installing interior signs for Wax In The City, a popular waxing salon in Walnut Creek.
  • Building on Success: This is not the first time SignWorks and Archetype have collaborated. Their successful history of working together shows the strength of their partnership and their shared commitment to delivering top-notch signage solutions.

The Project Overview

Interior Signage for Wax In The City

  • What’s Involved: The project includes installing a range of interior signs that will not only enhance the salon’s appearance but also ensure that it is accessible and welcoming to all clients.
  • Sign Types: The installation involves two main types of signs—wall vinyl graphics that add style and personality to the space, and ADA-compliant signs that are essential for accessibility.

The Importance of ADA Sign Installation

What Are ADA Signs?

  • Accessibility for All: ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act. This law requires businesses to make their spaces accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
  • Sign Requirements: ADA signs must meet specific guidelines, such as using tactile (raised) letters, braille, and contrasting colors, to ensure they can be easily read by people with visual impairments.

Installing ADA Signs

  • Proper Placement: ADA signs need to be placed in specific locations, such as next to doors, to guide people through the building. For example, signs marking restrooms, exits, and room numbers should be installed at a height that is easy for everyone to reach and read.
  • Compliance Matters: SignWorks ensures that all ADA signs are installed according to these regulations, which is crucial for businesses to avoid legal issues and, more importantly, to provide a welcoming environment for all clients.

Wall Vinyl Graphics: Adding Style to the Salon

What Are Wall Vinyl Graphics?

  • Visual Impact: Wall vinyl graphics are large, custom-made designs that are applied directly to the walls. They can feature anything from the company’s logo to artistic patterns, adding personality and flair to the space.
  • Durable and Versatile: These graphics are made from high-quality vinyl material, which is both durable and easy to clean, making them perfect for busy environments like salons.

Installing Wall Graphics

  • Precision Is Key: Installing wall graphics requires careful planning and precision. The graphics need to be aligned perfectly and applied smoothly to avoid bubbles or wrinkles.
  • SignWorks’ Expertise: The SignWorks team has extensive experience in installing wall graphics, ensuring that they look flawless and make a strong visual impact. In the case of Wax In The City, the wall graphics are designed to reflect the salon’s modern and trendy vibe, creating an inviting atmosphere for clients.

The Project Timeline

Original Plan vs. Adjustments

  • Initial Schedule: The initial plan was to complete the installation of both the ADA signs and wall vinyl graphics in one go. This would have allowed the salon to be fully ready for its clients as quickly as possible.
  • Unforeseen Delay: However, due to some unexpected challenges, the installation team will need to return later this week to finish the job. While this delay is unfortunate, it’s important to ensure that every sign is installed correctly and meets the high standards that both SignWorks and Archetype are known for.
