Pylons & Stelae

TheFace pylons and stelae are free-standing signs in steel and composite. We build them turnkey across Ukraine, from design to installation by our own crew, so visitors find their way across your premises and your brand stands at the entrance or parking lot.

What we make

Pylons & Stelae

A stele or pylon stands by the road or at your entrance, and it reads from a distance. It shows where you are and names your brand at the same time. That makes it a fit for filling stations, shopping and business centres, car dealerships, clinics, and logistics or warehouse sites.

A steel frame carries the structure, and we clad the faces in composite. When you need it, we add an illuminated block with your logo so the sign works by day and by night.

  • Advertising stelae for filling stations, malls and business centres
  • Branded pylons at entrances and parking lots
  • Illuminated stelae with a lit logo and price block
  • Non-illuminated signs in steel and composite
  • Wayfinding stelae with directions and unit numbers
  • Double-sided structures visible from both lanes
How we work

The result is on us

We start with a free on-site visit, take measurements and give you a quote. Once you confirm the order, we prepare a 3D preview of the stele on your real premises, by day and by night, so you see the result before anything is built. The load-bearing part is a welded steel frame, and the faces are clad in composite. Our own crew, with 10+ years of installation experience, sets the structure and wires the lighting. After handover you get a one-year warranty and ongoing service.

Specs

Key specifications

Key specificationsPylons & Stelae
MaterialsWelded steel frame clad in aluminium composite; lit blocks faced with acrylic or translucent banner material.
Typical sizesFrom low wayfinding pylons to multi-metre stelae; height depends on viewing distance and the site.
LightingOptional lit logo block on LED modules; fully non-illuminated versions available too.
PowerLED modules run on 12 V; moisture-protected drivers sit inside the body, fed by a 220 V line.
MountingAnchored to a concrete foundation; erected and connected by our own installation crew.
Lead timeSimple signs take a few working days; large stelae with a foundation take longer — confirmed after the survey.
Warranty & serviceOne-year warranty on the sign and the installation; we keep servicing it after the warranty ends.
PermitsStelae by a road or on municipal land usually need a placement permit; we help you handle the approvals.
Pricing

What goes into the price of a sign

The price of a sign depends on the facade, size and material, so we don't publish a single price list. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and you get an exact figure fast.

  • Size and dimensions

    A bigger sign means more material, fixings and hours on the install. We size the letter height to your facade width and the distance the sign has to be read from.

  • Materials

    Metal, acrylic, composite and PVC differ in both price and lifespan. A metal sign runs higher than PVC but lasts longer; at the survey we recommend the material for your facade and weather, not for the price list.

  • Lighting and electrics

    A non-illuminated sign costs less than a lit one: no LED modules, power supply or electrical work. Front-lit and halo-lit price separately too, and neon and lightboxes are our own offerings with their own pages.

  • Installation

    Install cost comes down to height, how hard the access is, and the wall material — brick, plaster, composite or glass. A sign over the entrance and a structure up under the roof are very different amounts of crew work and equipment.

  • Approvals and permits

    Some builds — blade signs over the pavement, rooftop signs, stelae on a site — need a placement approval. Where that applies, we tell you what to file and fold it into the quote.

  • Layout complexity

    A single word prices differently from a logo with fine detail, a set of plaques or a full floor of wayfinding. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and the 3D visualization on a photo of your facade comes after you confirm the order — so the look is agreed before manufacturing.

Simple signs are ready in a few working days, more complex structures take longer. The exact term is set in your quote.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

How much does a pylon or stele cost?

It depends on the height and size of the structure, the materials, and whether it's illuminated. We give you an exact figure after a free on-site visit and measurements, with no obligation.

Do you build the foundation and install the stele yourselves?

Yes. It's a full cycle: design, fabrication on a steel frame, base preparation, and installation by our own crew. We never hand it off to third-party contractors.

Do I need a permit to install it?

For free-standing structures on a site, usually yes. We'll tell you exactly what your location needs and help you handle the paperwork.

How does a stele hold up in winter and strong wind?

Nothing dramatic: the structure is designed for year-round outdoor duty. The frame is painted against corrosion, composite panels take rain and frost in stride, and the lighting electrics are shielded from precipitation. Wind load goes into the structural design — one reason the sign stands on a concrete foundation.

How do I order a stele if my site is not in Kyiv?

The same way as in Kyiv: we agree on a site visit, take measurements and quote after the survey. The structure is built at our own Kyiv workshop, delivered to your site and installed by our own crew. Artwork approvals happen remotely, so there is no need to travel to us.

We already have an old stele on site. Can you rebrand it instead of building new?

Usually, yes. During the site visit we inspect the frame: if the steel is sound, we replace the cladding, faces and lighting to match your new brand. If corrosion has eaten into the load-bearing part, we will say so honestly and recommend a new structure.
