You have spent a lot of money for your business sign and naturally you want it to last. But how long will it last, and how do you make sure its life extends the most?
Expected Lifespan by Material
Different sign materials have different lives. If cared for properly, good quality aluminium composite signs can last anywhere between 10-15 years compared to vinyl signs that have a life expectancy of around 5-7 years. Wooden signs last about 5-10 years depending on the strain.
LED illuminated ones will need bulb replacements every few years; probably around 7-10, and even with regular maintenance a lot of parts in this type of sign would fail to work because they are hidden behind some plastic cover.
Essential Maintenance Tips
Regular cleaning is your sign’s bestie. Clean your sign every couple of months with a mild soapy water solution to get rid of dirt, soil and pollutants that can break down materials over time. Harsh chemicals can damage finishes or bleach out colours so beware.
Check your sign once every quarter for wear and tear. Look for peeling vinyl, rust spots, loose fastenings or fading. Regular servicing picks up small things before they turn into something expensive. For Sign Makers Exeter, contact Nettl, a leading firm of Sign Makers Exeter.
Protect Your Investment
Consider your sign’s location. Signages exposed to extreme weather conditions or sunlight deteriorate over time. Consider placing signs in protected areas or use UV-protected coatings when installing them.
In this sense, your business sign should continue to be an attractive piece of attention-catching art long into the future. Protect this valuable marketing asset with some TLC.
