Neon Signs are a high quality high impact form of signage, that will make any business stand out to passing customers. As we all know it is very rare we get a second chance to grab a customer’s attention and make that all important first impression.
Whether neon is used as part of an art peice, fascia sign or hanging window sign for a high street shop or to add retro appeal to the interior of a bar or even used as neon lighting, you can be sure that it will attract a significant amount of interest.

History of Neon
Neon has been around for many years; a Frenchman by the name of Georges Claude invented the first neon lamp in 1910. The discovery and addition of phosphors to neon tubes and the use of the inert gas argon has allowed the creation of many different colours. Since the invention of the first discharge lamp the process of creating a neon sign has improved greatly creating a life expectancy exceeding 40,000 hours.
Neon Production Process
A neon sign is made using a glass tube, which is then bent to the design or shape required.
Electrodes are then welded to each end of the tube. The section of glass is then connected to a machine that carries out the bombarding process. The bombarding process involves the section being partially evacuated of air; the section is then heated to about 250 Degrees centigrade. As this temperature is being attained the section is continually vacuumed out, removing impurities from the tube. Once this process is completed the tube is then back filled with either neon or argon gas to a determined pressure. The tubes are then sealed off and removed from the processing machine. Once the tubes have completed the bombarding process they are then aged in – a process that ensures even colour distribution along the length of the tube and the quality of the tube.
The Tubes used in our neon signs are aged for 24 hours as part of our quality control testing process, to ensure a high quality long life end product.
