We spend a lot of time on this blog to discuss brand-building and marketing with signage. Examples include posts regarding channel letters, vinyl window graphics, monument signs, and architectural lettering. However, did you know that some business clients have had excellent success with installing panels that are decorative and artistic in nature? Doing so is an organic and easy way of adding to your brand story with powder-coated graphics for buildings in San Diego, CA.
Aluminum Powder-Coated Graphics for Any Business
So far, we have worked with quarter-inch-thick aluminum that our team used for the base of the artwork. Aluminum is generally considered one of the most durable materials in the signage trade. Besides that, it is lightweight, which lets us build even larger panels that attach securely to a façade or other structure without adding too much bulk.
Choose from standard square or rectangular forms. You might also consider other shapes that are more in keeping with your needs. We can maintain the aluminum thickness at a quarter-inch or add two-inch returns to give the products a more substantial appearance.
Best of all, the powder coating takes the place of the standard paint job we offer. It transfers a high-resolution graphic to a layer of polyurethane powder. This transfer results in a permanent image that is actually underneath the coating. The final step is the heat application that causes the color to bake into the surface.
When Durability Matters, Powder-Coatings Do Not Disappoint
Does the power coating process sound familiar? It is already in use in the automotive industry to create custom wheels and body panels that are rugged and look great. If this technology results in auto parts that withstand daily exposure to the elements as well as heat and road debris impact, imagine how it will protect your investment in signage and artistic style elements for your property.
Compared to a standard paint application, the powder-coated panel is more resistant to scratches and even UV damage. For pieces that you plan to place in full sun exposure, this is of tremendous importance. Moreover, the thicker coating lessens the overall maintenance the artwork uses. Of course, the most significant advantage – by far – is the superior color retention that keeps the pieces looking great for years to come.
