After many years of creating over 3,400 beautiful custom wood signs for exterior use from 3/4 inch thick pine wood boards, we've transitioned to creating our beautiful signs from 3/4 inch thick solid PVC boards. The following comparison between ¾ inch wood pine board, versus ¾ inch PVC board convinced us that signs made from solid PVC would outlast wood signs by many years; especially given the top quality exterior paints, stains and clear-coat with UV protection we use on all our signs. Wood signs, especially those made from softwood such as pine, by nature contain moisture. Weather and temperature changes can cause the moisture in the wood to contract and expand; this can result in damage to even the best of exterior finishes. The expansion and contraction can also result in warping and possibly cracking of the wood. Any perforation of the protective coatings (paint, stain, clear coat) can allow the wood to absorb even more moister exacerbating the problem. Solid 3/4 inch PVC sign board does not contain or absorb moisture and are not affected by expansion and contraction due to moisture in the way that wood is, thus warping and cracking is mitigated. The solid PVC board has a projected exterior life span of up to 20 years. PVC Sign Options: We have three options for the sign face finish: 1 - A stained wood look, in a variety of popular stain colors, 2 - A satin solid exterior paint finish in a variety of popular colors, 3 - Natural bright white (standard solid pvc board color). We have two options for the PVC texture of the sign face: 1 - Smooth, 2 - Wood grain. We have 2 options for the v-carved text, numbers and graphics of our signs: 1 - Bright white (standard solid PVC color), or 2 - Choose from a variety of colors for solid color and stained wood look color.
