Plastic Monument Sign Faces
Modern Unbreakable Space-age
Plastics–Signs
that Don’t Age™
Signs Manufacturing™
manufactures using new, modern, unbreakable space-age plastics we call SignFace™,
the best plastic available, with no additional charges.
Our
unbreakable plastic face has a 90% light-transmission ratio, and a 1.49
refractive index (Clear glass is 1.5.) In other words, it is stronger,
brighter, and clearer (crystal-clear) than the standard acrylic (unchanged since
about 1940) most sign companies use because of its lower cost.
Importantly, virtually all the other translucent plastics used by sign
companies have a major flaw; microscopic fissures that form in their casting
(manufacturing) process can and do lead to cracking as these plastics age and
turn brittle. Even Lexan®, the best polycarbonate available, doesn’t
compare! SignFace™ has a higher impact resistance than all acrylics,
even polycarbonates and Lexan®, is also flame-retardant unlike
virtually all other sign face materials, and does not yellow with age like
polycarbonate faces do.
We call this break-through
material SignFace™ because we don’t want to tell our competition what we’ve
discovered. Most competitors couldn’t afford the minimum order requirement to
obtain this spectacular material though. Once again, size matters!
The
advantage to our customer is a better made AND a better looking product, lasting
longer and requiring less service. Signs that
Don’t Age™.
Signs
Manufacturing’s “UNBREAKABLE” SignFace™ Plastics Warranty™
–
Signs that Don’t Age™
Our
plastic sign faces are warrantied not to break. This is a transferrable
15-year warranty.*
Living in an area with hail and
high winds you will be very glad we manufactured your signs this way!
Like AT&T used to say to their
Yellow Pages customers “If your business is slow, what does your sign look
like?”
*Read our Terms and Conditions
for full details.
Sign faces that don’t
fade or “yellow” for years is a step in the right
direction, but your sign needs to look nearly as good 10
to 15 years from now as it looks the day it is installed;
or you need to plan to replace it often so that your
potential customers do not get the wrong impression of
your business.
The longevity and
appearance of plastic face materials and graphics are
extended when they are coated with SolarGuard™, a
special, clear, high-gloss, mar-resistant topcoat which
protects plastics from ultraviolet light and ozone so that
they last longer, just like your eyeglasses have UV
coatings to protect the plastic lens.
Signs Manufacturing™
is an authorized SolarGuard™
applicator.
Signs Manufacturing™
adds SolarGuard™ protection to every plastic-faced
sign.
Does
SolarGuard™ Protection Work? The face on the left
was made of “generic” red acrylic and black trim-cap.
The left half was coated with SolarGuard™ and the face was
left outside for ONLY 7 years; your sign will be out there
much longer!
How will your business be affected if
your sign looks like the sign on the right in a few years?
Just as coated lenses
in binoculars increase the light gathering ability of the
lens, the special Lumabrite™ crystal clear coatings we use increase the
brightness of our channel letters.
Also, Lumabrite™
reduces maintenance because of built-in self-cleaning
properties.
As an added bonus
Lumabrite™ also makes the letter faces more reflective
when the sign is not lighted!
You
won’t have dull, dingy plastic faces like those on the
right if we manufacture your sign.
Signs Manufacturing™
adds Lumabrite™ crystal clear coatings to every plastic-faced sign.
No other local sign company does this.
Our people are
factory-trained in the application of Lumabrite™.
