The illuminated display was designed and manufactured for BIU’s new corporate headquarters in St. Anne’s, Lancashire.

The display was embedded into the wall at the bottom of the staircase on the ground of the building, and continued all the way to the top floor. The overall run length came to in excess of 15m with the longest single piece being 3500mm.

PPS manufactured a series of slim light panels directly out of 8mm thick edge lit acrylic, which were angled and cut to shape so they could join together when recessed into the wall aperture. These were lit by daisy chaining built-in high intensity LEDs, along the top and bottom edges of the individual panels, to provide constant, bright illumination across the display.

Blank semi-rigid 2mm opal acrylic sheets were custom cut to match the light panels and printed directly onto with the Agfa Anapurna flatbed printer, providing high resolution graphics.
