Top 3 Facts About Custom HDU Signs for Georgia Municipalities and Businesses
You already know SignVisions as the shop that designs, produces, and installs high-quality acrylic and metallic signs. However, recently, we have noticed that clients are beginning to lean more toward high-density urethane (HDU). A case in point is the Upson County Board of Commissioners. Here is what you need to know about HDU signs for Georgia municipalities or businesses.
1) HDU is Waterproof and Will Last Longer Than Wood
Because clients ask us to make HDU signs for exterior and interior signs, the material mustn’t become waterlogged. In the trade, we refer to high-density urethane as a closed-cell product, meaning water cannot affect its integrity. When you buy this kind of sign for a building sign or as part of a post and panel product, you know that it will not swell, contract, or crack as wood might.
2) Multiple Fabrication Options Give Clients Plenty of Choices for Their Signage Needs
Look at the HDU sign project we took on for Upson County. Our technicians put together the seal for the City of Thomaston, the County of Upson, and the Georgia State Seal. These are now displayed on the room’s back wall, where the County Commission meets.
HDU signs can be hand-carved. It takes a little longer, but we can create intricate works of art displayed as brand-building or advertising signage in your space. Sandblasting is a favorite. We mask off the areas that are to appear in 3D, which means that everything else gets removed. Finally, we can use the router to produce signage that looks elegant.
3) Superior Elegance for High-End Displays Make the Products Suitable for all Settings
The depth of the material and uniqueness of HDU fabrication result in signage solutions that stand out. They immediately get the attention of anyone entering your space. For this client, we heightened the sophisticated presentation by reverse-printing the seals of the city and county. As a result, visitors look through acrylic at those reproductions. It is an attractive option that provides added pop while also capturing depth.
Who Orders High-Density-Urethane Signs?
You already know that our shop prepared HDU signs for Georgia municipalities. However, government bodies are not the only clients asking for these products. As the board portion of a post and panel sign, it creates a stunning 3D display for a monument sign. Property managers like to use them in neighborhoods with HOAs or upscale office buildings.
Retailers and service providers like the old-world look that targeted treatment of the HDU allows for. For example, we can treat the backdrop to resemble the look of wood. Of course, the material’s makeup will allow it to last much longer than wood panels. You frequently see these products used as blade signs in smaller towns or shopping districts, cultivating a pedestrian-friendly vibe.
