Lexan is a fantastic material for larger sign faces and those installed near the street. It is tough, weathers well, and is entirely break-resistant. However, the material does not last forever. When your company needs new Lexan sign faces in San Diego, CA, All Star Signs knows how to do it the right way.
Top 3 Problems with Old Sign Faces
Beyond fading, what makes a pylon or cabinet sign face unsuitable for further display?
- Outdated. When a sign is out of date, it means that it misses displays that should be there. Sometimes, it still features information that is no longer accurate. You frequently see this in shopping centers and strip malls where tenants have moved in or out.
- Missing pieces. Although Lexan is an excellent material, it does weather and cracks eventually. The salty air in and around the coastal areas can speed up this process, which leads to material brittleness. Yellowing, peeling overlays, and broken off pieces are now becoming possible.
- Rebranding. Your company changed the display of its color palette, font, or symbol representation. As a result, the sign face display is no longer accurate, which hampers brand recognition.
All Star Signs Replaces Old, Worn, or Blank Lexan Faces in Monument and Pylon Signs
It does not matter how tall the sign is. Similarly, we work with signs of all ages and shapes. Our technicians follow a set of guidelines that help them through the process. For starters, we check the overall status of the product. Does it need structural repairs? Is it time to convert to energy-efficient LED lighting? Could it benefit from a fresh coat of paint?
The second step is the design of the new facing. We incorporate any new style elements that you want to see. Besides that, we accommodate your style choice. Some clients request pan-molded faces that allow the material to extend slightly past the edge of the cabinet. Others favor an utterly flat look that is ideal for applying one or more imprinted vinyl overlays.
Direct Print or Imprinted Overlays?
One of the most popular styles is the use of imprinted vinyl that we laminate to protect the colors. We then apply the vinyl to the surface of the Lexan. Another option, which costs a little more and provides added durability, is the direct imprint of the information onto the material in three layers.
