Monument Signs

Looking for a monument sign for your business establishment? Here are some monument sign materials that you can choose from!

Monument signs are a great way to promote your business. After all, an attractive monument sign is quite hard to miss. However, due to the large stature of these signs, you need to be extremely careful when selecting their material. After all, you don’t want your sign to get damaged before time and ruin its appeal. With that said, there is no one-size-fits-all material for all businesses. You need to select a material that goes well with your business aesthetic and brand image.

Here are some great monument sign materials that you can choose from:

Foam-Core & Armored Foam

Stone and Brick Masonry

Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) is an incredibly durable, lightweight, and rot and water-resistant material that’s a great choice for monument signs. It’s also well known for providing a finish that’s similar to stone masonry. You can also opt for a foam-core paneling, which will enable you to apply a veneer to your sign. You can choose any veneer, from granite to stucco, for your sign. Foam-core signs are also easier to replace due to their lightweight.

Aluminum and Metal

If you prefer the sharp appearance of a sleek and chic sign, then you will surely love an aluminum monument sign. Aluminum is a highly ductile and malleable material, which means that you can use it to create the custom monument sign of your dreams.

Metals such as wrought iron will provide a similar shine. However, they aren’t rust-resistant like aluminum. The only downside to an aluminum monument sign is that it can’t be internally illuminated. However, you can use exterior lighting, such as angled lights, to illuminate your sign.

Poured Concrete

If you’re looking for a practical monument sign, then nothing beats concrete! It’s an ideal monument sign for anyone who wants a no-nonsense, durable sign. Poured concrete is nearly indestructible. Monument signs made of concrete are commonly used in local parks, outside malls, at city gateways, etc.

Plastics

Plastic such as high-density urethane and acrylic are also highly customizable and you can mold then into a wide array of sizes and shapes. The best thing about plastic signs is that they can be fabricated using almost any color imaginable. So, make sure to choose colors that will go well with your building’s structure.

Wood

Wood is a popular material choice for monument signs that are found outside of elegant cottages, resorts, state parks, luxury stores, and hotels. Wooden monument signs have a rustic, classic, and almost nostalgic appearance that is hard to beat. This is particularly true for beautifully carved monument signs. However, if you opt for a wooden monument sign, make sure to varnish the wood to protect it from weather, termites, and insects and maintain your sign.  

Stone and Brick Masonry

Even though stone and brick masonry, which was famously used to create the wondrous Taj Mahal, will be quite expensive, the final look will be worth it. Monument signs made out of natural stone have an incomparable look and are also amazingly durable. However, these signs can be quite heavy so make sure to hire a professional sign installation service such as Forerunner Signs and Graphics to install a natural stone monument sign.
