We make neon signs the bulk of which are intended for indoor use. The neon tube is mounted on an acrylic backboard (making them easily portable). The backboard comes with pre-drilled holes for wall mounting. The sign can easily be fixed to a wall with included screws or suspended from a chain that we can supply as a hanging kit add on.
Neon signs for permanent external use, and some large internal neon signs, will require specialist installation.
You should not, under any circumstance, place your neon sign outside. Outdoor placement is considered a misuse of the product and would void the warranty.
Your sign is constructed for indoor use only and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Your sign has been designed to hang on a wall, hang from the ceiling or stand on a counter or shelf. You may also want to consider hanging your sign on the interior of a window with the logo facing outward for passersby to notice. When determining where to place your sign, please keep these tips in mind:
Hanging hardware, chains, and power cords are standard. We can design and produce custom neon for inside and outside applications, contact us with your needs.

For a small investment, our window border tubing lights can turn your free window space into advertising worth Thousands of dollars! We can install neon tubes directly on walls to create murals or illuminate existing ones. Installations like this are much more involved than the standard hanging of neon signs, and it will require that a qualified electrician be available to help with the installation process. Please give us a call or contact our customer support team for more information about this install option.
Neon Installation works best with friends, we recommend 2-3 people to support the neon sign when installing.
Hanging your neon sign
Use a strong fishing line or clear cable ties for non-permanent neon placement (weddings and events).
Fixed to a wall
For a more permanent installation (e.g. your home or office) - we recommend securing it to a wall using the supplied screws. Take care not to drill too deep, as this may crack the acrylic.
With a tape measure mark where the neon be on the wall. Have one person hold the sign in place while you mark the pre-drilled holes with a pencil.
Tip- Make sure not to mark the acrylic with the drill head or by overtightening
Using a power drill steadily drill the holes, place the sign back in place and tighten the screws/standoffs. Once the sign is mounted securely then plug in and light up.
