Project Planning & Execution
CHYIHAUR Team
For a street-side clinic, the blade sign is the key to being seen. As pedestrians walk along the arcade, the first thing to catch their eye is not the frontal signage but that single sign standing perpendicular to the wall. For Ho Xing Dental's vertical outdoor blade sign, CHYIHAUR controlled every step from sheet metal and paint to light source, keeping the clinic's identity clear, reassuring and weatherproof by day and by night.
01
Project Background & Challenge
Located on a street front, Ho Xing Dental needed a vertical outdoor blade sign that could be clearly seen along the flow of foot traffic. A blade sign is cantilevered off the exterior wall year-round, taking sun and rain head-on, so the weather resistance of the metal and coating decides how long it stays beautiful. As the identity of a medical clinic, its color and brightness had to be eye-catching yet never harsh, upholding a professional, reassuring image.
Weather Resistance, Panel First
A projecting sign hangs off the wall for years with sun and rain hitting it head-on, so the substrate was settled first: 1.6mm SECC galvanised steel, formed to shape. The zinc layer is rust protection built into the sheet, and over it an automotive paint finish keeps the colour saturated outdoors. The round-tube arms are bolted into the granite wall face, with structural safety as the premise.
02
Design Goals & Strategy
The sign body is formed from 1.6mm SECC galvanized metal; the galvanized layer provides a built-in rust-resistant base, then an automotive paint finish gives it saturated color and lasting weather resistance. The face uses a clear hollow panel, and the light source is front-lit Japanese Nichia LEDs, so the lettering glows evenly and stays sharply legible at night. From structure to lighting, everything was planned around long-term durability to reduce the clinic's future maintenance burden.
Read on the Move
A street-side clinic has to be read while people are still moving, so the layout was planned from the street's viewing angle: clinic name, English name and phone number stack down a single vertical panel, letting passers-by take in the whole message from a distance instead of only up close.

FAQ
This is a vertical outdoor blade sign case that CHYIHAUR carried out for Ho Xing Dental in 2023. The blade sign is formed from 1.6mm SECC galvanized metal with an automotive paint finish, paired with a clear hollow face panel and front-lit Japanese Nichia LEDs, completed in 12 days.
A vertical blade sign is a long sign cantilevered perpendicular to a building's exterior wall, and it is the easiest thing for pedestrians to spot first as they walk along the street. For a street-side clinic, a blade sign builds recognition early along the flow of foot traffic. Ho Xing Dental uses exactly this kind of sign to let people find the clinic's location from afar.
The blade sign is formed from 1.6mm SECC galvanized metal with an automotive paint finish on the surface; the face is a clear hollow panel, and the light source is front-lit Japanese Nichia LEDs, balancing weather resistance with nighttime legibility.
Nichia is a well-known Japanese LED brand with even light output and a long lifespan, and it is CHYIHAUR's frequent choice of light source for signage projects where long-term quality matters. Paired with front lighting and a clear hollow face panel, the blade sign stays clear and eye-catching at night, without dark spots.
This project had a 12-day build period and 100% design fidelity; after completion it comes with a three-year warranty on the lighting and a three-year warranty on the fabrication.
