Outdoor signage is a completely different story though, mainly because of the damaging effects
of the sun. How long will your signs last outside before they look old and faded?
How long does your sign need to survive the sun and the weather outside?
This question surprises most of our clients at first because there's a natural presumption that
signs last for a very long time.
Outdoor signage is a completely different story though, mainly because of the damaging effects
of the sun. How long will your signs last outside before they look old and faded?
The sun will likely damage your signage much sooner than you expect – here's why:
The result is a bleaching effect which causes colors to lighten and look washed out.
As colors fade, a chalky white residue often forms on the surface of the sign,
due to oxidation.
Without a clear, UV protective sealant, the unprotected surfaces on outdoor signs
are subjected to the full force of the sun and the elements, which accelerates
deterioration.
Our most popular sign products come with a Lifetime Replacement Warranty.
If any exterior rated sign product covered under this warranty, breaks, cracks, peels, fades or otherwise fails, the sign product will be refinished or replaced free of charge.

The best sign ever!!
The sign looks gorgeous!!! Overall experience was great! Justin was so knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. He advised what material would be better in my case. Also, he went an extra step to contact and instruct installers on how to put the sign up. This saved me lots of time. The real sign looks just like the digital preview. Thank you so much !!!!! My dental office looks so much better now.

I got the sign up. It is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you very much.
I need to make up a couple of designs for signs for the elevator and stairs. I'll give you a call when they are ready. In the meantime I included a few pics.
