ImPressions, Perfect for High-Traffic Environments
ImPressions uniquely combines durable performance and design flexibility in a single-piece ADA sign.
That means no attached letters or raised characters to pull or pick at by curious passersby. ImPressions is perfect
for high-traffic environments such as schools, hospitals and hotels – withstanding damage from cleaning and
excessive handling without compromising fine graphic detail.
ImPressions is manufactured through a process of thermoforming which provides for crisp, clean edges,
detailed text, logos and graphics. Combined with integral color and fingerprint-resistant surface texturing, this
sturdy technology provides a wide range of design flexibility.
The product’s performance lies in its composition — made from an impact and flame-resistant, thermoplastic
alloy used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications including aircraft and medical equipment
enclosures.

Bringing natural light into signage
Lucent is a preferred alternative to glass and traditional ADA plaque signs because of its optical clarity, durability and design flexibility. The product’s translucence provides an unprecedented ability to incorporate the architecture’s ambient and directional light into the design of your signage.
A designer’s ADA-signage product
Lucent offers the ability to simulate a variety of glass applications combined with unlimited profile shapes and unique (matte, stipple or slate) surface textures. Metallic text, raised graphics or second surface colors greatly expand the design possibilities of this versatile product.
Proven technology
Lucent is based on Best Sign’s thermo-forming technology also found in its ImPressions™ product family. Our proprietary manufacturing process offers precise graphic detail utilizing acrylics that are many times the impact resistance of glass or other select engineered materials that resist excessive handling common in high-traffic environments.
Design responsibility
Durability is an important sustainable benefit of Lucent. Infrequent replacement helps reduce waste compared to glass and other plaque technologies. In addition, acrylics can be efficiently recycled back into the original raw material and reused as post-industrial reclaimed materials.
Quality
Lucent undergoes rigorous quality screening to ensure a consistent quality product, every time.
