When designing signage, it’s important you choose a durable weather-resistant material. But how do you know which one is best?
The focus of this article will be on how weather can affect your outdoor signage, what to look for, how to protect your signage and how our experts at Wolf Signs can help.
How Extreme Weather Conditions Can Affect Outdoor Signage
There are several ways in which your signage can be affected by adverse weather conditions. In this section, we’ll discuss this.
Extreme Heat
Extreme heat can cause discolouration or faded print. And it can be hard to spot, as it mightn’t be noticeable up close. Keep an eye on your outdoor signage and check how it looks from both near and far away to ensure it’s as visible and vibrant as it once was.
It’s not only how the signage looks that you need to be aware of when it comes to extreme heat; also consider how it feels. On products like vinyl banners or A-frames, you need to check for functionality as the material may have become brittle and cracked.
Storms & Hail Damage
Storms and hail damage can also cause major issues, though sometimes their impact is not as noticeable straight away. Not only do you have to look out for common issues like fallen, hanging or faded lettering, don’t ignore:
– loose joints or fixtures
– damp or flimsy adhesives
– swelling
– mould
– damaged electrical circuits (for lightboxes)
How to Protect Your Signage
One of the best ways to ensure your building signage remains structurally intact and durable throughout storms and extreme heat conditions is to keep up to date with your maintenance.
When we install your signage, we will provide you with information and tips on the best way to clean and maintain your signage to ensure it’s in optimum condition 24/7.
You may also consider:

– placing your signage out of harm’s way (as much as possible)
