Durability Specifications
How Post & Panel Signs Perform Outdoors
UV Protection
Powder-coated aluminum posts rated 10+ years outdoor. Panel graphics use cast vinyl with UV overlaminate rated 7–10 years.
Fade Resistance
Cast vinyl graphics rated 7–10 years. Painted panels use 2-part polyurethane. Reflective sheeting rated 10–12 years per ASTM D4956.
Weather Sealing
Post caps prevent water intrusion. Panel edges sealed with aluminum extrusions. Aluminum construction will not rust.
Wind Load Rating
Post embedment depth and diameter calculated per ASCE 7. Typical 4" square posts rated 90 mph. Larger sections for coastal zones.
Impact Resistance
Breakaway post bases available for parking lot applications. Aluminum composite panels resist denting better than solid aluminum.
Reflectivity
Engineer-grade, high-intensity, and diamond-grade reflective sheeting options for nighttime visibility and traffic safety compliance.
