Curious As To Why 2D Metal Building ID Signs Sport Longer Than Normal Useful Lives?

Well let’s take a gander, shall we?

First of all, if you’re building a new standalone commercial warehouse, facility or manufacturing plant to house your business, and you want long lasting building ID signs, then this post will reveal an ideal sign solution -just for you.

Okay, let’s face it, with near record hot temperatures sweltering the Las Vegas valley this summer, it’s no wonder many large scale business owners are finding themselves at odds, once again, with having to replace some of their heat damaged exterior building signs.

Yea, sure, maybe your one of the lucky ones whose main business exterior building ID signs aren’t facing due East or West. The direction where the sun simmers-up along Sunrise Mountain and bakes its way into a blistering sunset, over the Western hills of red rocks. Day after day.

While generating drying heat. The kind of heat which is turning paint brittle. Heat rays so penetrating that they’re UV sucking the color right out of your brand. Turning red sign pink, and blue signs gray, and all of it.

And so hot that face mounted acrylic sign faces are expanding and popping stud these mounted panels right off the wall. And also launching plexiglass inserts, directly out of their cabinet channels, where they come crashing down to the ground -below.

Vegas baby –right?

So what are you to do?

Fight Heat With Heat Resistant Signage

Well, sometimes, you just gotta fight heat with heat resistant signage. Building business signs which are fabricated from durable metal. Metal like aluminum which will stand up to the vicious heat.

Similar to the aluminum metal business sign, like the 2D Orkin outdoor building ID sign, depicted in the photo above.

Sure it’s non-illuminated. But then again, most free standing business facilities and warehouses are not situated on high traffic streets. They tend to be nestled in… off the beaten path. Usually in low traffic locations which are zoned warehouse commercial.

Blasting LED Lit or Neon Name Signage Isn’t Going To Provide Much Of A Benefit

Locations where blasting bright LED lit or neon name signage isn’t going to provide much of a benefit… especially for the added cost required to light em’ up.

You see, most commercial zoned locations, freestanding manufacturing plants, and facilities tend to have massive parking lots with ample lighting. Lighting which easily allows their outdoor business signs to be readily seen.

So why not just order and install a flat cut, one dimensional, aluminum sign with the businesses name on it? And slap it up on the main building?

Well, sure, you may do this, but why not take it up a notch?

Why not create a little pizazz with a 2D looking business sign? And have the sign stand out more?  And have it stand out like the Orkin sign in the photo above.

2D Signs Accentuate Your Brands Image

The simple enhancement of adding dimension (2D) to a building’s exterior sign makes it appear to be leaping off the building fascia, don’t you think? Plus it looks much more appealing than those typical flat-slapped-up panel signs. Because the 2D accentuates your brands image.

BUT, going with a fabricated 2D aluminum solid face sign cabinet is just a start.

Because the best way to lock in the long useful life so you’re not replacing you’re exterior signage every 5 years or so, is to make sure they’re they have a baked on paint finish or they’re powder coated.

Why Will Your Painted Sign Still Looks Good 5, 10, Even 15 Years From Now?

Why? Well, imagine, if you will, watching new cars roll off the assembly line. And when you notice these new cars you’re probably impressed by how amazing the paint job (finish) looks.

Heck, you see new autos. and even old models, carousing the Las Vegas roadways daily. And guess what? Their paint still looks good 5, 10, even 15 years from the day it rolled of the line.

But, why is this?

After all, the Las Vegas sun is pounding painted car surfaces with much more intensity than the surfaces of sign faces. Right? After all, many building ID signs are perpendicular to the ground.

Which offers exterior building signs more protection and relief from the skewering sun… as it dances across the sizzling sky. And this protection  allows soothing sign shade to ease away the drenching trauma as soon as that furnace-ball passes over the buildings roof line.

However, even though you’re escaping with some sun baked protection, cheap paint jobs will still flake off. So to combat this, you want to make sure your aluminum fabricated, 2D flat-face, branded building ID cabinet sign is finish coated similar to automotive painting.

Imagine Having Your Exterior 2D Building ID Sign With A Baked On Finish

Imagine having your exterior building ID sign with a baked on finish. A finish which is no different than the way vehicles are painted. Where your 2D sign cabinet is primed, double coated with custom acrylic paint, and baked on in a paint booth. Or better yet, meld the finish right into the aluminum with a powder coat.

Now imagine if you chose this route? Would you have to sweat the possibility of replacing your main ID sign every 5 or so years? Or would the wicked summer heat roll right by, year after year, leaving your exterior building ID business sign(s) looking brand new.

Imagine the money you’ll save from not having to replace sweltered signage. Or better yet, imagine how nice your image will be presented now and in the future.

Heck, while nearby signage on other building facilities are showing dastardly wear and tear, you’ll be looking stellar. Even in 5 or 10 years from the day you proudly hang your companies name or brand on your building’s exterior.

But hey, the choice is yours.
