SIGN PRODUCTS
There have been some new products being implemented in the entry monument arena lately. Synthetic stone is becoming widely used. We have found the synthetic stone material to have a very big impact with the architectural entry monuments. By combining the Synthetic stone with other types of sign material such as HDU (high density urethane) sign foam, redwood and cedar, eps foam with a hard urethane finish we have come up with some interesting entry monuments. The synthetic stone comes in various types. It is essentially concrete that has dyes added to it to resemble stone. It is much easier to work with than actual stone because the size and back can be customized to easily adhere to these types of monuments. Along with the aesthetic look of the stone we can provide ornate caps and panels out of HDU and wood. ..
When one thinks of architectural signs it is usually signs that are of a more aesthetically pleasing to the building or areas. As in the monument signs these new synthetic materials have found a big inroad. HDU signfoam is a great material for routing letters and logos. It has a solid back so can be easily installed to a wall. The more traditional formed plastic letters use studs or pads and can be difficult to install. The Hdu signfoam has more options than the stock or custom plastic letters / logos. It comes in different densities and thickness for different applications.
If one is concerned with economics they should stick with the plastic letters. Otherwise the HDU signfoam material is a viable alternative. This signfoam can be routed and or sandblasted in a panel to give a very dimensional look to the sign panel. logos and letters that have a dimension to them is an architectural design plus.
We do create the graphics and install them for many of our commercial customers. These can be of the more simple vinyl decals to the more elaborate full color scotchcal prints. These decals can withstand the elements of the weather and car washing etc.. If you have a logo already we can provide you with a bid and layout for your vehicles. If you don't have a logo we can help you with the design and implementation of it in your corporate image.
We do offer a host of banner related products. We create custom banners in various weights 10 - 18 oz. and in various materials and color combinations. These can be hemmed and grommeted to suit your display needs. These banners can be the more simple vinyl decals on vinyl to the more complex full color digitally printed banners. Digitally printed banners are the hot item of late. They can display a full color picture of a team along with a school logo etc... to create a visual impact of a season. digitally printed banners also are a great way to display your product. There is nothing like the full color print of your product to show your customers what it is you create. so whether it is for a parade, billboard, church function, school activity or whatever occasion requires a banner we can help you come up with the banner for your project.
The signs that promote an upcoming project are generally referred to as a development sign. These signs are of a less permanent nature. However due to the weather, development signs must be strong enough to withstand some severe conditions. Usually we make these signs out of MDO (medium density overlay) board in combination with treated posts. Development signs can run the gamut from a simple vinyl mdo signs to the more ornate digitally printed mdo board . The project can be enhanced with the display of a logo on all the development signage. We also offer lot markers for those developers who are developing lots in their project. In any development, signs are an important way to educate and inform the public what it is you are developing.
School signs are a big percentage of our products. We have various types of signs that are specifically for school activites. We have several types of record boards. These are done in beautiful acrylic. We offer many colors of acrylic to try and match school colors. The records are done in vinyl which can be easily replaced. We have signs that declare a teams motto for that year. then there are the signs that have the team picture with the captains records year etc.... We also make a luminite sign panel that looks like neon but is the front to a standard interior light box. This is a good way to display the school's logo / mascot.
We have many types of products available to enhance the interior of your business. There are of course the more traditional metal approaches. These offer the classic look of brass, copper, bronze etc... Then there are more contemporary approaches with laser cut plastics, foams, wood etc... These combined with digitally printed mediums can create quite the impression such as the emerald first sign on our interior signs web page. Interior signs are not limited to the lobby area but include the door signs and wall signs throughout the business. These should all be of a similar sign system to bring uniformity to your signage. There is more flexibility with materials involved with interior signs as the weather doesn't come into play as much and one can be more creative with more materials to work with.
