Retractable Banners

Retractable banner stands, also called roll up banner stands, are the most popular style of banner stands available, and for good reason. They are quick and easy to set up, take down and ship, and are inexpensive when compared to other types of displays. Retractable banner stands are easily portable and can be moved around a display area for optimal set up and positioning. They neatly roll down into the casing of a base, protecting the graphic during transportation and storage.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Find here most of the common questions before choosing your signage.

1) How do I set up my retractable banner ?

Open your carrying case and remove the base and pole.

2) Do I need a permit?
Any type of exterior signage requires a sign permit in most cities. Read more about getting a permit here.
3) Do I need an electrician?
You will need an electrical permit if your awning is illuminated and an electrician will need to hook up the final connections. Advance Signs & Awnings is CSA certified, so you don’t have to worry about extra wiring costs. We install all LEDs and light fixtures and apply all approval labels.
4) Can I install it myself?
Although we recommend you hire a professional, there will be no warranty for improper installations.
5) Can you ship anywhere?

Yes, we can package/crate and ship your awning anywhere in Canada.

6) Can you recover my existing awning?

Yes, every situation is different so it depends on the condition of your awning, for instance, we can recover the material or refinish the metalwork if necessary. In some cases, the awning needs to be replaced entirely.

7) How big can you make my awning?
Because the City imposes restrictions based on building sizes, the size of your awning will depend on the size of your building. Generally, projections of more than 2 feet will require a permit. In addition, depending on the size, you may need an engineer’s stamp to be approved by the city.
8) What is the payment process?
We require a 50% deposit to start the work, with the balance due upon completion. Credit and debit cards, e-transfers, cash and checks are accepted. A 3% processing fee applies to credit cards.
9) How long does it take to manufacture and install?
Once the permit is approved, we can begin manufacturing your awning. In general, the permit application and approval process take between one and three weeks, depending on the city’s clearance. The manufacturing process is affected by factors such as size, material, location, and weather. It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for the entire process.
10) Is it possible to print a colourful logo on it?
The method you choose for printing your logo will determine the warranty and durability of your awning, so it depends on several factors. If you want your awning to last longer, we recommend one or two colours with no gradients. You will select the colours from a vinyl catalogue of translucent colours. If you still need a gradient or the use of many colours, then we can print, but the warranty will be limited to weather conditions.
11) Can I illuminate my awning later?
For your logo to illuminate at night, the material must be translucent from the beginning.
12) How do I maintain my awning?
Here are some tips for you to keep your awning looking new: use a soft bristle brush to remove any loose particles, hose it down, and clean it with a mild natural soap in lukewarm water. Be sure to rinse the fabric before retracting it thoroughly. If you live in Winnipeg, you can call the professional Exterior Cleaning company at (204) 801-2864.
13) Can my illuminated awning turn on and off by itself?
You have the option to install a Fotosensor or Timer. Ask your electrician. The Fotosensor will operate based on the exterior lighting and the Timer will operate according to the time you set. These features are not included in the price of the awning.
14) Do you make awnings with an aluminum roof?
Although it depends on the type, we always recommend vinyl because hail bounces rather than denting, and vinyl also makes less noise from rain.
15) Are there grants or subsidies for awnings?
The government of Canada along with local non-profit biz improvement organizations often offer grants and subsidies for exterior signage and business improvement. We encourage you to search and apply.

Here are all the answers to your permitting questions.

A sign bylaw and sign permit process are intended to ensure businesses have equal and fair opportunities to advertise and promote while preserving the aesthetics of the community. A sign permit is required prior to a sign being constructed, moved, altered, placed or repaired in City limits.

A sign permit is required prior to any new signage; or alteration, or relocation of existing signage. The permit fee for new business signs located on a building (wall sign) is waived if you apply for it within 2 weeks of receiving Business License approval.

To obtain a sign permit, applicants need to submit an application with the requested drawings and appropriate fees to the Development Services Department at City Hall.

1) When do I need a permit?

Anytime you install new signage or awning on the exterior, you will be required a sign permit from the City.

2) Where can I find more information?

We have compiled a list of the most common questions and steps here on our website. There is always more information available on the website of your city or municipality. For Winnipeg, you can look at this link: Winnipeg Permits Portal

3) Do you take care of the permit process?
Absolutely. A small management fee is included in your quote for us to prepare the drawings, file the application, and follow up.
4) What’s an encroachment?
If your sign or awning goes over your property line, the city will charge you an encroachment fee. Your property survey certificate will be required if the city is unsure whether the sign encroaches.
5) How can I get an engineer's stamp on my plan?
In case an engineer stamp is required for your sign or awning, we work with our team of engineers. Engineer fees should be included in your quote.
6) Do I need an electrical permit?
To connect the power source to your illuminated sign, you will need a certified electrician. They will require an electrical permit in addition to your approved sign permit.
7) What happens if the Sign Permit is not approved?
We will try to find a solution to comply with the legislation based on the changes the City requires. If, however, the permit is not approved, then you will only be charged the applicable fees.
8) Can I apply for the permit?
Anyone can apply for a permit by following the City’s guidance on their website. For a small fee, we make the process simple.
9) Do I need my landlord’s approval?
Yes, we recommend getting your landlord’s approval before manufacturing the sign to ensure it complies with any technical guidelines of the property.
