Contact SupplierThere is no other type of sign that can be used for a small business that can show the character and quality of the company more clearly than a hand crafted, custom carved sign. These signs are designed to last for years and can have such distinguishing touches as raised 3 dimensional letters or objects, as well as gold leaf, copper or other metal gilding that will sparkle in the sun for years.
To take advantage of modern materials and provide a more durable and lasting sign, in most cases we now manufacture our carved, routed or blasted signs from High Density Urethane (HDU) instead of wood. HDU signs use a dense, closed-cell foam with recycled content that is resistant to rot and insects, and is also fire retardant. It has exceptional paint adherence and is very resistant to blistering and peeling.
HDU is a stable material that can be sculpted or painted, and will accept gilding just like standard custom wood signs, but with better longevity and a longer lasting appearance than wood. Custom wood signs can be be made using redwood or cedar, but these materials are not as stable and the finishes are not as resistant to weather as the HDU signs have shown.
