Sandblasted Signs for Your Business

Are you thinking about a sandblasted sign for your business? Well, here are some things to think about and consider before you make your decision. Of course, these are some of the best looking signs to be found, but are they right for your business?

Did you see another sandblasted sign at a different business, and what was your initial reaction? Positive or negative? Usually, the signs show that the business is serious about their branding and signage. This is not to say that these signs are cost prohibitive, rather it's an expensive that will be appreciated for years to come.

Sandblasted signs are made from one of three materials, depending on the clients' needs and purpose/location of the sign. Redwood is the nicest, then there's cedar with it's unique qualities and finally HDU (high density urethane) which holds up best and for the longest period of time. All three are somewhat 'soft' materials and wouldn't do well on the side of a delivery truck, but certainly as a monument sign, or a building sign - it's perfect.

Redwood and cedar are natural woods and will show their own 'personality' as no two woods are exactly alike. So the knots and other harder areas within the sign don't allow the blasted sand to dig as deep into the grain, giving it their personality. In addition to this characteristic trait of the natural woods, it will deteriorate over time and possibly chip and shrink a little, peeling some of the paint off - then having the need to be 'touched' up or replaced after some time. The High Density Urethane stands up to the elements much better and accepts the blasting more consistently, and will last for years and years.

Places to install or hang sandblasted signs are usually up to the client, but we certainly will assist you with choosing an ideal location. They can be attached to an exterior wall of the business or a free standing monument sign. Hanging signs are still quite popular and gives a more welcoming environment to your business.
