substrates

A substrate is the material used to make a sign.  We use the best quality materials and are constantly fine-tuning our processes to adapt with the sign industry trends.

A.)  Acrylic
  • Weather resistant
  • UV light resistant
  • Chemical resistant
  • Strong impact resistant
  • Lightweight, superior strength and durability
B.)  Aluminum
  • .040 gauge
  • Durable wax-free baked enamel finish
C.)  Celtec
  • Expanded, rigid PVC foam board
  • Weather resistant
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Will not absorb water
  • Easily cleaned
  • Lightweight, superior strength and durability
D.)  Coroplast
  • Extruded copolymer polypropylene corrugated plastic
  • Weather resistant
  • UV stabilized
  • Fluted interior
  • Highly moisture resistant
  • Does not shatter, rust, or fade
E.)  MDO
  • Medium density overlay
  • Exterior-grade plywood with an average veneer on one or both sides
F.)  Omega Alumalite & G. ) Omega Econolite
  • Brilliant .016 inch high gloss painted aluminum surface with a high density, corrugated polyethylene (CPA) core that will not swell, wick water, corrode, rot, or delaminate due to prolonged water exposure.
  • Strong & lightweight
  • Wind resistant
  • Water and weather insensitive
H.)  Omega LusterBoard
  • Hardwood core is a premium grade, rigid, exterior furniture-grade plywood with smooth, tight, sanded veneers for optimum surface beauty.
  • Panels have two finished, white (or painted color) aluminum surfaces.
  • Color-fast, impact-resistant and has a smooth, glossy, aluminum surface
  • Colors are colorfast and won't crack, chip, flake, or peel.
I.)  Omega SignBoard
  • The hardwood core is a premium grade, rigid, exterior furniture-grade plywood with smooth, tight, sanded veneers for optimum surface beauty. It also is less likely to have gaps or voids in the inner-plys which is common in many MDO boards.
  • The vinyl surface is impact resistant and formulated with high performance UV inhibitors to reduce the fading effect of the sun.
  • Panels are single sided and have one finished, white vinyl surface. The other side is a bonded decorative plastic backer sheet for water resistance and balance. The finished side is shipped with a protective mask.
  • Hardwood plywood core is lighter and stronger than MDO.
J.)  PolyCarve
  • High-density coextruded thermoplastic
  • Won't chip, peel, or fade
  • Impact resistant
  • UV stabilized
  • Weather resistant
  • Graffiti resistant
K.)  SignFoam
  • High density rigid urethane board
  • Closed cell structure makes it completely waterproof
  • Unaffected by temperature or moisture and is incredibly chemically resistant
  • Does not crack, warp, rot, decay, or decompose
L.)  Styrene
  • Expanded, rigid PVC foam board
  • Weather resistant
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Will not absorb water
  • Easily cleaned
  • Lightweight, superior strength and durability
M.)  UltraCore
  • Foam core, aluminum surface
  • Interior use only
N.)  Vinyl
  • Soft PVC film with glossy surface
  • Acrylic based, permanent
O.)  Western Red Cedar
  • No. 1 grade, kiln-dried, vertical grain
  • High tannin content, giving excellent weathering characteristics
  • Very short grain, which reduces stress (minimal checking and warping)
  • Approximately the same density as redwood
  • Cedar possesses a more uniform density throughout the log than redwood
  • Cedar is free of sapwood and heartwood
  • Cedar is not an endangered species (unlike redwood)
