SolarGuard™ Protective Coatings
Sign faces for channel letters that
don’t fade or “yellow” for 5 years is a step in the right
direction, but your sign needs to look nearly as good 10
to 15 years from now as it looks the day it is installed;
or you need to plan to replace it often so that your
potential customers do not get the wrong impression of
your business.
The longevity and appearance of
plastic face materials and graphics are extended when they
are coated with SolarGuard™, a special, clear,
high-gloss, mar-resistant topcoat which protects plastics
from ultraviolet light and ozone so that they last longer,
just like your eyeglasses have UV coatings to protect the
plastic lens.
Signs Manufacturing is an authorized
SolarGuard™ applicator.
You won’t have dull, dingy plastic
faces on your sign if we manufactured it.
Signs Manufacturing adds
SolarGuard™ protection to every plastic-faced sign.
Does
SolarGuard™ Protection Work? The face on
the right was made of “generic” red acrylic and black
trim-cap. The left half was coated with SolarGuard™
and the face was left outside for ONLY 7 years; your sign
will be out there much longer!

Lumabrite™ Optical Brighteners
for a Better Looking Sign
Just as coated lenses in binoculars
increase the light gathering ability of the lens, the
special Lumabrite™ coatings we use increase the brightness
of our plastic-faced signs.
Also, Lumabrite™ reduces maintenance
because of built-in self-cleaning properties.
As an added bonus Lumabrite™ also
makes the sign face(s) more reflective when the sign is
not lighted!
Our people are factory-trained in the
application of Lumabrite™.
Signs Manufacturing adds Lumabrite™
coatings to every plastic-faced sign.
Protection Against Vandalism
The unique clear coats Signs
Manufacturing applies over vinyl lettering and graphics
are also formulated to remove one remaining objection
knowledgeable consumers have to the use of vinyl on sign
faces.
We have all seen signs where vandals
have peeled-off lettering to make the sign imply something
else, or simply to deface them.
When your sign is vandalized it must
be replaced so that it effectively represents your
business; even if the sign is simply a listing of “Pool
Rules.”
While it is probably “technically”
possible to remove lettering and deface a sign we
manufactured with SolarGuard™, OptiGard™
and/or Lumabrite™ protection we are not aware of anyone,
ever, having done so.
