Albion Design With a recently established agency in small but well positioned premises, the partners sought an affordable solution for an attractive fascia and window display with eye catching features that project the values of the business. Albion chose a logo design and colourways that express the
coastal location of the business, and convey the vibrant nature of the partnership. The window display has 3mm thick A4 and A3 pockets acrylic
poster pockets mounted on 1.5mm diameter tensioned stainless steel cables, fixed floor to ceiling. The layout consists of a mix of A4 and A3 pockets supporting
images that project the smart and sassy ethos of the new business. In this proposal the acrylic pockets are attached to their cable
bearers by side grips. The cables are attached to the floor and ceiling using standard wood screws and wall plugs. Each cable kit comes with 4 metres of cable so will fit almost any size of window. The cable display system components are from the Albion
Display range in a silver anodised finish; stainless anodised and brass anodised finishes are also available. From an installation perspective the proposed solution is
familiar to most fit out companies and can be installed at reasonable cost using standard tools and fixing techniques. To provide an additional eye catching difference there is the option of LiteStyle Power Beam LED lighting, an ultra slim range of LED lighting that fits most 1.5 mm diameter cable display systems and adds that attention-grabbing touch that sets a window apart from its competitors. The power to Power Beam lighting units is supplied at 12 Volts directly through the supporting cables so is inherently safe and requires no additional wiring. As well as its high brightness and its striking effect from

the street, Power Beam’s state of the art LED technology provides for low running costs and low maintenance. For added versatility a version of Power Beam for 6mm diameter rod display systems is also available. If budget constraints dictate, the Albion Elements range of entry
level components could be utilised to provide a similarly practical solution but at a lower cost and with an etched satin finish. The Litestyle Power beam option can equally be added to enhance the alternative Albion Elements installation.
Simply Ace used the curves in the logo throughout this design.
simply Ace Simply Ace is happy to undertake the entire refurbishment or any individual element of it. Following a full survey of the room scaled floor plans and images are prepared. The logo was designed with curves inspired by the ocean waves
and the interior flooring was ocean blue. Simply Ace introduced the curve into the interior using a curved
wooden floor for the small soft seating area – this could seem extravagant when the budget and space are tight but these areas have become popular in smaller agencies as they give a friendly area to take customer details. The seating area will have an A4 portrait cable display partition,
each of the five displays will hold four property details, situated to influence any client in the seating area. The curve continues through the office with curved desks.
The window display must stand out from the crowd but also fit the budget. Glass look acrylic panels with fixed A3 and A4 detail holders on stainless steel legs will do this, and good overhead lighting helps the display to sparkle. With the panels positioned at a specific level, this will allow the customers to see into the office, and so can all the other features can be seen, which also helps the office feel more welcoming. The other inexpensive features will be a blue painted wall at the
rear of the office with the company name and logo in stood off acrylic lettering with silver vinyl faces. This will act as an eye catching feature from the front of the shop. The grid wall display has a dual use as it can hold segmented
large scale images when the stock of houses is low, which makes for an impressive feature in any office, but they can also be replaced with property details when the stock improves. Finishing the features will be a the ever popular small digitally
