Surface Quality and Finish :
       for all signages

To maintain the quality of the signage the following points may be considered:

 No screws, nuts, bolts, welding marks, cutting marks, edge of the MS sections should be prominently visible from the outside. All details should be worked out from the inside.
Its a good option to provide grooves to have the fixing details embedded so that they are not prominently visible from outside. Place visible hinges, screws inside these grooves. If you do not want the grooves to be visible a beading could be fixed to cover it.

 Do not use putting and patching up to cover up misalignments in the panel sizes. Make use of jigs, fixtures and guides while fabricating the parts so that all of them match and align properly.

Do not use hand painting to finish the surface. The paint should be sprayed in the factory in proper painting booths and not at site. This way you can maintain the required finish (glossy, matt, shiny or dead matt) consitantly all over the signage.

Do not directly paint the MS components - that are prone to rusting. Mild Steel (MS) parts have to be properly treated according to procedure and then only the final coat of finish should be applied.


(Please Note:
The specifications and processes mentioned above are a suggestion for proper treatment of materials used in Signages. They
in no way indicate absolute figures and also there may be other ways of achieving the same.)
