Our Processes
Our 30,000 square foot shop contains several unique departments to produce all kinds of signs. This includes:
LED or Neon Lighting & Electrical
LED or Neon can be used to light all kinds of signs and sign boxes. LED is the most energy efficient form of signage lighting today, and we provide all colours and levels of brightness.
Welding and Metal Fabrication
Topmade has in-house technicians to weld and fabricate solid enclosures for illuminated or non-illuminated signs. We also have a channel-letter bending machine for precision letter bends.
Box & Sheet Metal Fabrication
Topmade’s fabrication department customizes sheet metal and plastics to encase indoor or outdoor signage. With the latest in channel letter bending equipment, we make every size and shape, and our enclosures are electrically wired to all safety codes.
Spray Painting
Topmade has a fully equipped 30′ x 18′ x 14′ fully ventilated spray booth to safely apply spray paint to all kinds of sign structures.
Digital Printing
Our Digital Printers (both flat bed and roll-to-roll) print 51″ wide in a single piece, and can feed a variety of roll materials or solid sheet substrates. This allows us to apply full graphics to a variety of materials.
Canvas and Awning Fabrication
Our canvas sewing department is capable of constructing or re-skinning existing framing for awnings or canopies. Construction and repair of metal framing is handled by our Welding/Metal Fabrication Department. We also clean and refurbish awnings to apply new lettering or graphics.
Plastic Fabrication
Custom plastic bending, forming and fabrication was one of our first capabilities when Topmade was founded. We can use it to build containers or displays for any purpose in coloured or clear plastics and acrylics. We can include non-plastic, assembled components as well.
CNC Cutting & Engraving
Topmade has a CNC machine for cutting and engraving on plastics, metals, or wood. From the smallest, most precise graphics to largest engraved pieces, we can create nameplates, nametags, plaques or display boards, up to 4′ x 8′ in a single piece.
Vinyl Cutting
Vinyl lettering and graphics can be applied to all kinds of surfaces. We stock a huge variety of colours for signs, windows, doors, vehicles or displays. We also can also remove it (from old awnings or windows, for example), and apply/install it for you. Our vinyl plotters cut up to 51″ wide.
Installation
At Topmade, we are fully set up to deliver and install signs of all sizes, heights and types. We have four loading bays, a fleet of high-reaching bucket trucks, and a crew of skilled installers to ensure your sign is aligned and installed correctly and safely, thus resisting weather and wind damage.
