HDU
(high density urethane)
HDU Sign Foam unfinished is warranted for 10 years, indoor or out,
against deterioration, warping, and cracking. It is 100% waterproof,
unaffected by temperature and will not rot or decompose. This
material is preferable on most projects, and a must on large
projects. If a client insists on a wood pattern, suggest the HDU
sandblasted with a wood grain.
| HDU Sign
Foam can be blasted with two patterns: |
 |
|
 |
| Simulated
Wood Grain |
|
Sandstone
or Pebble Finish |
Advantages
SignFoam will not warp, crack, or bow like solid wood when exposed
to the elements. It is slightly lighter that wood, which might be a
consideration for a dangling sign, and saves in shipping. SignFoam
can be blasted with a Simulated Wood Grain Finish that, in most
cases, looks better than a real wood grain.
Disadvantages
SignFoam is slightly flexible, which might cause problems on long,
narrow signs. If a dimensional sign is going between posts, or in a
situation where it might take abuse from wind or pedestrians,
consider having us laminate a backing for reinforcement. |
