Backing Options

Metal Cages

Metal cage fronts that sit over your neon sign — an industrial alternative to an acrylic cover that protects the tubes whilst maintaining the raw neon aesthetic.

About This Backing

Metal Cages For Neon Signs

Although not technically a backing, metal cages can be supplied to go over the front of your neon sign. If you are looking for an industrial look, or want to protect the front of the neon tubes but aren't keen on an acrylic cover, then a metal cage is the perfect solution.

The holes in the cage can either be square or rectangular. The cage sits in front of the neon sign rather than behind it — protecting the tubes whilst still allowing the full glow of the neon to radiate through.

Square Hole Cage

Metal cages with square holes provide a clean, grid-like industrial look over the front of your neon sign. The square pattern allows the neon glow to radiate evenly through the cage whilst providing solid protection for the glass tubes.

Note

Metal cages sit in front of the neon rather than behind it — they are a protective and decorative front cover.

Rectangular Hole Cage

Metal cages with rectangular holes have a slightly more elongated pattern that can suit certain neon designs and interior styles. As with the square hole option, the cage provides full protection for the neon tubes whilst maintaining the authentic glowing neon aesthetic.
