Why Are Ceramic Apartment Door Number Signs a Better Choice In Hot Climate?
If you’re a multi-family developer in Las Vegas and you’re looking for new apartment community building signs for your new development, then you may want to consider going with ceramic door number signs.
Here’s why.
Let’s start with you.
You may be part of a regional, national or even global publicly traded multi-family investment group or REIT which is building revenue producing communities in different cities across the US or abroad.
Or you may be more localized, new or even a well-established local developer.
But no matter where you are building new multi-family apartment communities, you’re probably doing so, or have done so, in many different cities.
And other cities are not as arid or hot as Las Vegas. Some climates may be rainy and wet. Some cold and wintry. But in Vegas, whoa, it’s oh so hot. Blistering hot.
Which means the elements will take their toll on your apartment signs sooner or later, unless you find the ideal substrate to withstand Mother Nature’s wrath. Right?
Who Wants To Be Replacing Their Apartment Signs Every 5 Years?
After-all, do you really want to be replacing you’re apartment community signs every 5 years or so?
For example, back before Las Vegas turned boom-town in the late 1980’s, multi-family community signs were produced from plastic, acrylic, foam board and metal.
This was before technological sign breakthroughs changed the way apartment signs are made now –in modern day.
Which meant most apartment complex signs would require a change out within 5 to 10 years, if not sooner.
How do we know? Well, we made em’.
Heck, when CNC routers came into vogue along with gator foam back in the early 1990’s, this was considered cutting edge sign making technology.
CNC routers allowed for apartment building signs to be massed produced. And for a lot less money.
Plus gator foam replaced plastic building ID letters back then. Because gator foam was perfect for routing out letters and numbers -fast. And gator foam was lightweight and durable.
All the bulky and heavy building numbers were suddenly being replaced with lightweight foam.
Everyone was happy.
Las Vegas Heat Takes Its Toll On Apartment Signs
However, over time. The Las Vegas heat took its toll on these types of signs. Just like all other types of community signage which is exposed to a relentless searing heat.
And if you’re a long standing developer, you knew the routine.
But as time passed, the sign codes changed too. Now there are requirements for larger letter number heights. Directories with fire hydrant markings. Pool rule changes. Minimum heights on address number, and all of it. Even sprinkler systems!
So you adopted, and rolled with the changes, just like everyone else.
When your signs took the toll and were heat scorched or dry-tattered or the sign codes required larger letters, you made the required changes.
New Sign Making Technology -Better Apartment Community Sign Solutions
Fast forward to today.
New sign making technology has and continues to offer better and more resilient apartment community sign solutions.
For example, the introduction of flat-bed printers in the mid 2000’s changed the game for many local sign companies.
How? Well, no-ah-days multi-family developers may control their community brand colors and overall look and feel of their apartment community’s aesthetic appeal.
Which means, flat-bed printing systems will print-out your directories, model ID’s, floor plan displays, directional signage, impact graphics and apartment numbers on different substrates.
And the color will be consistent. And reflective of your communities color scheme. Because flat-bed printers will precisely print out your Pantone matching color call outs on each sign type –with ease.
Back in the day, the way to create aesthetic appeal in order to bring a sense of balance to new apartment developments was to physically go to the job site(s).
And collect samples. And be like a forensic team. Grab samples of broken roof terracotta tiles and paint color scrapings off the buildings and bring them back to the sign shop.
Then closely try to match the onsite color samples to the apartment signs which were in production. So all the signs looked good.
This was possible because apartment community signs were last on the list for scheduled install.
And thus gave the sign company, like Sign West Outdoor of Las Vegas, the ability to better serve you. To make your multi-family communities look eye-worthy appealing.
After-all, what’s the first thing a renter sees when visiting your new community? It’s signage. Right?

And this is why ceramic apartment door number signs are a better choice in hot climates like Las Vegas.
