What are Monument Signs?
Monument signs are more than just markers for businesses, neighborhoods, and schools. They are a powerful branding tool that helps create a strong first impression. Designed to be durable, attractive, and highly visible, they set the tone for your business. A well-designed monument sign that is placed at the entrance of a campus, establishment, or business will last for years to come and provide a professional appearance.
Common Monument Signs
There are so many different types of monument signs. From traditional masonry signs to illuminated designs, there are multiple options. This allows organizations to select a design that best fits their needs.
Masonry Monument Signs
These traditional signs are designed to fit in with the architectural design of the building. They incorporate elements like stone, brick, and concrete to provide a customized, permanent entrance marker.
Digital Monument Signs
Digital monument signs offer a way for organizations to have a permanent presence while also allowing the ability to display messaging in a modern way. Churches and schools often utilize these types of signs because it allows them to display multiple messages.
Illuminated Monument Signs
Illuminated signs use internal or external lighting to help improve visibility during dark hours of the day. They help businesses stand out around the clock and can be very beneficial for businesses in busy areas. Normally, these signs are illuminated with LED bulbs that are efficient and have a long lifespan. Learn more about the benefits of illuminated signs here.
Monument Sign Installation Process
Design: Picking the perfect design for your monument sign is one of the most important parts of the process. The design you choose should reflect your brand but also stand out so customers can easily read it from a distance. Materials, colors, lighting options, and graphic layout are all important features to help your sign stand out.
: Many cities and towns require permits before a sign can be installed in front of an organization. Specifically in Wilmington NC, zoning permits are required for permanent and temporary signs. This is when partnering with a professional sign company comes in handy. We can help you navigate this process and ensure all of the right permits are granted.
Fabrication: Once your permits are approved and a design has been selected, we can move forward with the fabrication process. Custom materials like brick, stone, metal, or acrylic are cut and assembled to create your custom sign. Every detail in this stage is critical to ensure the sign is both visually appealing and will hold up for years to come.
Installation: After the fabrication process is complete, the sign is transported to the location, and our team will complete the installation. Ensuring the sign is properly installed will help guarantee long-term durability and visibility.
Ongoing Maintenance: Like any fixture that is exposed to outdoor elements, it will require some routine maintenance over time to keep it looking good as new. If your sign experiences damage due to weather, needs proper cleaning, or even a lighting service, you can always call on us for your service needs.
