Making a Weather-Resistant Business Sign
If you want to attract customers to your business and establish your brand’s presence, a well-designed, durable business sign is essential.
We’ve been around in the sign industry for a while, and we know a thing or two about how to make sure a sign does what it needs to do for your business while weathering the elements for many years to come.
After all, a business sign can be a significant investment, and you’ll want it to last as long as possible. Here’s how to craft a sign that will stand the test of time, drawing in customers and establishing your brand as a visible presence within your community.
Choosing the right materials
Using appropriate materials makes a huge difference when it comes to designing a weather-resistant sign.
A quality sign company will prioritize quality and longevity, utilizing materials like aluminum, PVC, acrylic, or HDU (high-density urethane) foam. All of these materials are known for their durability, superior resistance to moisture, and ability to maintain their appearance through all weather conditions.
Designing for durability
If you neglect strategic design, even a sign made from the most durable materials you can find might not be as weather-resistant as you’d hope.
When you’re designing your sign (or working with a sign shop professional to do so), you should keep durability in mind. This means making wise choices when it comes to fonts, graphics, and colors.
You’ll want to represent your brand effectively, but also make choices that are resistant to fading and deterioration caused by prolonged sun exposure.
Choosing UV-resistant coatings and inks can help to keep your sign vibrant for many years to come.
Weather-resistant finishes
If you want your sign to last a long time, apply a weather-resistant finish!
We’d be happy to suggest our favorite protective coatings to you– these clear coats and sealants can shield your sign from rain, wind, and UV radiation. They’ll enhance the visual appeal of your sign while providing a layer of defense against the elements, preventing fading, cracking, and warping.
Expert installation
Even the most weather-resistant sign can be compromised if it’s not properly installed. Wrapology’s team of experienced professionals is prepared to ensure that your sign is accurately and securely installed.
Improper installation can lead to water infiltration, which can cause major damage to your sign over time. Allowing experts to handle the installation process means that you can enjoy some peace of mind, knowing that your investment is well-protected.
Regular maintenance
To maximize the lifespan of your weather-resistant sign, regular maintenance is essential. Wrapology advises periodic inspections to identify any signs of wear and tear, such as chipping paint, rust, or loose components.
Promptly addressing any issues you spot can prevent further damage and greatly extend the lifespan of your sign.
Correct illumination
Your business sign’s visibility is just as important as its durability. Incorporating properly-installed illumination options can greatly increase your visibility as a brand.
Using energy-efficient and long-lasting lighting options, like LED bulbs, can help your sign stand out 24/7, 365 days a year.
Plus, long-lasting LED bulbs are water-resistant, meaning that you’re much less likely to deal with dangerous electrical issues in the event of a leak.
Commitment to quality
A weather-resistant business sign is an investment that pays off in the long run.
