What materials are used to make exterior signs?

Regardless of the type of sign, all outdoor installations must be weatherproof. Cabinet style signs have either aluminum or galvanized aluminum bodies. Any installation made of wood or plastic is always well treated and coated with special sealants.

Aluminum is one of the best materials for outdoor signs because it’s lightweight, strong, and affordable. There are three popular gauges for aluminum. The smallest is a .04-gauge, and the next thickness tier is .080-gauge aluminum, which is a good option for street signs. The thickest option is .125-gauge aluminum used to make heavy-duty signs like the ones you see on the highway.

DIBOND is original aluminum composite material (ACM) developed for the display and signage markets in the nineteen nineties. Not only is it the flattest panel on the market today, its smooth surface is ideal for digital printing and mounting outdoor projects. DIBOND can also be roll formed to create dramatic curves, or rout-and-returned for dimensional displays. The material has a plastic core that gives it exceptional strength. Unlike other outdoor plastic sign materials, it has an aluminum surface that’s attractive and resilient to weather.

Illuminated signs usually have acrylic faces (Lexan for bigger sized faces) and LED lights inside the cabinet. Nobody uses fluorescent lights anymore as LEDs are brighter and more energy efficient and they require less maintenance.

At Sign Source Solution, our outdoor sign faces are usually Impact Modified Acrylic, or Lexan. Impact modified acrylic is seven times stronger than regular acrylic and Lexan is about thirty times stronger than standard acrylics. Lexan is considered the tempered glass of acrylics.

Did you know that Lexan is five -hundred times stronger than glass? Lexan is about 40% more expensive than standard white or clear acrylic, and 15% more expensive than Impact Modified Acrylic, but because of its strength it remains the best choice for bigger sign faces.

Other exterior ‘monuments’ might be composed of faux stone or well-treated wood.  Banners are made of high-quality 3M vinyl and this is sometimes perforated to allow for the passage of wind. New materials are available for store window signs. The new chemistry looks brighter and will now last longer in direct sunlight than ever before.

How to make outdoor advertising signs?

Sign Source Solution has evolved a process by which we intake creative ideas and business marketing requirements and output the ideal solution, cost and timeline.  This is the ritual that’s born from twenty years' experience in the industry.

Here are the six steps that Sign Source Solution follows,  

Identify the ideal message consumer.

Business owners should already know their customers, but sometimes it’s helpful to think about the ideal consumers that will be most impacted by the sign’s messaging. Knowing your market demographic is helpful when composing the pitch. The information will also be necessary when considering the sign’s location, and its style and design.

Select the sign’s location. Get necessary permits and permissions.

Whether you’re considering a pylon sign beside a busy highway or a monument sign in your front yard or a printed banner strung-up on the wall of your commercial building, it’s important to pinpoint the new sign’s exact physical location. Billboards by the roadside will need cement foundations and that means digging and that means obtaining permits. Signs affixed to brick walls and buildings are also subject to municipal regulations.

Select the type of sign and design its body.

Depending on how the sign is placed, or where it’s mounted, it will have a body, and legs or fasteners and some lights inside or outside to brighten its readable surface. Regardless of what type of sign is being considered, a designer will have to create a mock-up of the organism before fabricators can bring it to life. Knowing the sign’s dimensions is necessary to complete Step Two – obtaining permits.  Being aware of consumer preferences also helps marketers decide on the specifics related to materials, shape, colour, and size.

Compose the sign's unique message and artwork.

Now that you’ve determined the sign’s target audience, and its physical location and the specifications allowed, now you can compose the most compelling message possible using the best possible colours, style, and art.

Print the message, build the body and assemble the sign.

Making the sign is another multi-step process. Such creation could require sourcing materials or getting something specially shaped.  There’s welding and wiring, printing, and power transformers and when everything is ready it’s all fastened together and made ready to transport for installation.

Install the sign on or near the business location.

This last step is sometimes the most difficult. Installing high quality signs in public requires skilled labour and professional tools, permits and perseverance. Pylon signs require a crane to hoist the vessel upright over bolts that are embedded into concrete footings. Renting and deploying such equipment can sometimes require special permits and neighbourly arrangements. The whole exercise demands good weather.

Illuminated cabinet signs fastened to brick or concrete cinder block walls can sometime require scissor lifts or cherry-picker cranes to raise the sign and hold it in place so fasteners can be applied.  Read the Sign Source Solution blog for more insights into these challenges and please enjoy our war stories in which we overcome the many challenges of erecting signs on tall commercial buildings.
