What is neon?
So what is a neon sign? Starting with a straight glass tube heated over a large open flame, our glassbenders take your approved design and bring it to life. Once the glass has been bent to its required shape, it is then pumped with either pure neon, or a mixture of argon and neon, depending on what colour you need.
Your piece then sits connected to a power supply for a few days to age in to make sure that there are no impurities and the vacuum has not got any leaks before finally being assembled onto a back panel or being packed up ready for delivery.
Our custom neon quality guarantee
At A1DESIGNS, one of the things we pride ourselves on with our custom neon signs is quality. We want to make sure that you love the sign we make, which is why we have put in several processes to make sure your sign is the best it can be.
From the very first contact with one of our estimators, we will try and get as much information from you as possible. This information is then turned into an estimate that is sent to you so that you can make sure everything is as it should be.
Once you proceed with an estimate, the information along with any provided files or images is passed on to our designers. They will then provide you with a graphical representation of your sign, labelled and filled with all the information you have supplied to make sure that we have understood your requirements at every step. Once you have confirmed you are happy with the design, it then goes down to our experienced London glass shop to be made, using a paper template to make sure each piece of your custom neon sign conforms to the design you approved
