The Special Features and Benefits of Signs Manufacturing Corporation's Monument Signs

Exceptional Warranties

Lasting Quality – Your Sign will ALWAYS look good to potential customers!

• UL or ETL listed sign – Can be legally installed anywhere, and moved anywhere in the Nation at a later time.

• The most durable, longest lasting signs – Well aware of the devastating effect deteriorating signs have on every businesses continued success, which is well documented by multiple independent research studies, Signs Manufacturing™ has spent our 45+ years bringing together unique products that dramatically extend the life of our signs: SignLux™ paints; SignFace™ plastics; SolarGuard™, Lumabrite™ and Optigard™ protective coatings; and Solarbrite™ LEDs are examples.  All are incorporated into EVERY one of our signs where appropriate.  No other Texas sign manufacturer uses ANY of these products in their manufacturing processes, according to the manufacturers of these components.  Signs that Don’t Age™

• Structural steel frames with aluminum exterior skins – No rust and the sign will last forever.  Virtually Hail-proof.  EIFS/EFIS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) construction, on the other hand, is a non-load bearing stucco-coated foam cladding system, used primarily in rental construction where the strategy is to remodel every 10+- years when tenants move out.  EFIS foam monuments are cheaper, but note that they are non-load bearing.  What will be installed on/in it, and how?  They are easily damaged, and virtually impossible to repair.  We do not manufacture EIFS foam signage.

• Masonry, Brick, Stone, and Concrete work is included - Turn-Key installations.  Single-source responsibility.

• Computer-generated graphics – Perfect look, not handmade, much more impressive graphics.

• Signlux Paint Systems™ Automotive+ paints and 2 part primer system - The same exterior paint type they paint a Ferrari with.  It looks new virtually forever, helping your business.

• Cabinet insides painted with Solar Finishes™ Bright Reflective White – Because of this special paint the sign always lights brighter, attracting more attention, with no additional electrical cost.

• SignFace™ impact-modified plastics - Won’t break and look bad.

• SolarGuard™ protected plastics– Won’t fade and look bad to customers.

• Lumabrite™ coated plastics– Because of this coating the sign always looks brighter with no additional energy cost.

• Optigard™ coated flexible sign faces – This coating eliminates yellowing, which makes a sign look old and dingy, chasing potential customers away.

• Vandal resistant coatings – Your sign won’t be intentionally damaged.

• Self-cleaning sign faces– Your sign never looks dirty and dingy, chasing potential customers away.

• Brighter Signs™ technology – Brighter signs always draw more attention.

• Energy Saving Signs electrical –  Saves 35% or more of electricity costs, some signs can even be solar powered.

• GRID™ Electrical System for LED Lighting - The most reliable electrical signs in the world.

• Automatic Factory-Calibrated Electronic Lighting Controls – Automatically turns the sign “on” and “off” any time lighting will draw more attention to your business.

The Signs Manufacturing Your-Location Sales Team's Personalized Service

No matter what types of signs you are interested in, our sales team, consisting of 11 highly-trained individuals, is at your beck and call.

Let us meet with you in your office, or at your new signs location, or home, or anywhere.

You will probably have a firm quotation, not a non-binding "estimate" like most competitors provide, for what you want during our meeting; certainly no more than a day later.

Are You a "Visual" Person?

It is difficult to picture what a sign is going to look like. What do you picture when we say "triple-layer multi-colored lighting with a textured backplate?"

Our showroom is designed to solve that problem. Most people are visual ... they need to see something firsthand to understand what it is and whether it has value to them. Seeing is believing!

Don't buy your sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures,
when you can actually see and side-by-side compare Real signs and designs.

Monument Sign vs. Pole Sign - Do you have a choice?

If you have a choice, install a pole sign!  We can also build and install it for you.  You will be glad you did.

McDonald’s says that, on-average, simply replacing a monument sign in front of one of their restaurants with a pole sign increases that store’s sales volume 15%.

Will your Sodium Vapor or Metal Halide parking lot lights affect the colors of your sign at night?  How visible will your pylon sign’s border neon be during the day?  Should you consider PinLights^™, LetterLites^™, SpectraLites^™, or Trembler™ signs?  Brighter Signs™ neon or SolarBrite™ LED lighting for channel letter signs?  Fluorescent or HID lighting for your monument sign?  Do Daylight or Cool White fluorescents make your sign’s colors look best?  What are the differences between a flex-faced, a Lexan™, and an acrylic-faced sign cabinet?

How will shadows affect my sign's readability during the day?  Should the wall behind my sign be light or dark colored?  Would a different type of sign look better on my brick wall?  Should I consider a routed sign face with push-through letters?

Don't buy your sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures, when you can actually see and side-by-side compare Real signs and designs.

Can you afford not to?

"I almost made a huge mistake by not listening to you and visiting your showroom prior to buying my sign.  I thought I knew what I wanted, after listening to so many salespeople...boy, was I wrong.  My vision of the sign did not jibe with what it would really turn out to be, even after viewing so many drawings.  It was obvious the moment I entered the showroom.  If I had stuck to my guns my sign would have been a disaster.  I would have wasted a lot of money."

Cecil Drake, Drake Communications

Showroom Specials

Sometimes it really pays to shop.

As an additional enticement to coax you into our showroom, and also smooth our manufacturing flow, we periodically have limited Specials only available "in-store;" even unannounced to our sales team.

They are based on opportunities in our production scheduling.  If we tell our salespeople in advance they collectively sell too many, causing other problems!

Specials are always for a specific type of custom-built sign with a large variety of available options, but a very limited quantity, and first-come-first-served.

Guaranteed Highest Quality...Guaranteed Lowest Price^™

As detailed below, and on the pages that follow, everything will be done to make your sign look better, and last longer...Guaranteed.

WHOLESALE TO THE PUBLIC!  Signs Manufacturing™ also guarantees that our price will be the lowest price you can obtain on the products described in this website; now or anytime during the next 90 days.

If you are offered a lower price by someone else we will match that lower price PLUS give you 10% of the difference.

"Fifteen years ago you made a lighted sign for me.  It STILL looks new, but finally needs electrical service..."

Lawrence Badger, M.D.

Why Buy Factory-Direct from a State-Licensed Company?

Why not buy from a Sign Dealer (also called a Sign Broker or a Sign Store?)

Would you give a car dealer $10,000 and tell him to buy you the best car he can for the money, sight unseen (or from a drawing?)  Don’t you think you would get the car that made him the most?

Do you think you could meet your needs asking for the cheapest car he can buy?

Why would a sign dealer (Car Wrap company or sign store) be any different?  Remember, they are merely buying a sign from a manufacturer to resell to you, usually to resemble a drawing, making the most money they can.

You need to know ALL of the details on how your sign will be manufactured, and how it will be installed.  It needs to meet YOUR needs, not the seller’s profit goals.  What is he telling the manufacturer you don't need?

Believing “...a sign is a sign” gets you a Yugo instead of a Cadillac.  Remember the Yugo?  They didn’t last very long, either.

Also, most sign dealers, Car Wrap companies and sign stores cannot legally install or service an electric sign.  Ask to see their license.

Ask to see a manufacturer's license also.  A few are not licensed to do electrical work, either, they also have to hire other companies to install the signs they make.

Now, who provides the warranty?  The manufacturer, the installer, the salesman, anyone?  If the sign was installed illegally do you think they'll honor their warranty?  Did they REALLY obtain your City sign permit?  Is the sign even safe?

As a large, both UL and ETL listed manufacturer, our name is on all our signs.  Just like you, we can't afford to have a bad sign destroy our business.  We have to care.  Particularly with our 5 Year ^$0 Cost Warranty and Lifetime Guarantees.

The State of Texas does NOT allow the installation on non-Listed electrical signs, and a Texas Sign Contractors License (TSCL) is not evidence of an OSHA approved Listing for electrical signs.  Additional approvals are required.

Why are “Listed" Signs Critical to You?

Virtually ALL cities, as well as the State of Texas, adopt the National Electric Code as law.

The National Electric Code (NEC) requires that for electrical, structural, and installation safety all electrical signs be "Listed" (tested and labelled with an appropriate Listing Mark.)

Certification (testing and labeling) organizations acceptable in the USA to test to the multitude of Standards signs are required to meet are determined by OSHA.

For you the Listing Mark is insurance.  It means that the sign has been tested to insure that it is structurally and electrically safe, and will be installed properly.  You benefit from the knowledge that it is not solely us telling you that our signs are safe, this is what the testing laboratories and the US Government says also.

Will your sign be tested and approved for safe use in a Wet (Outdoor) location?  Not if it’s not Listed!

If the sign you are purchasing does not have a ETL or UL Listing Mark label the sign is probably not legal to install, anywhere in Texas.   There are a few local city ordinance exceptions.

Buy carefully.

For more detailed information on "listing and labeling" click on the "Labeled and Listed" tab in the Knowledge Tree™ tab in the left column.

Construction

For strength, durability, and appearance your illuminated signs will be constructed of aluminium (#3003, H14 - not the "soft" aluminium used by some) covering a welded structural-steel inner frame.

Large metal areas will be reinforced to prevent "oil-canning".

The structural-steel frame inside the sign is separately painted before the skins are installed; important to prevent rust stains later.

We commonly build Monument signs with real and artificial brick, stone, and stucco exterior finishes.  View our "Bricks & Masonry" page, tabbed to the left.

Our signs are properly engineered to withstand the winds of North Texas (140 m.p.h.); signs attached to poles are welded, not bolted, in place.

A Warning About Some Very-Substandard Signs

Some companies use plastic, Dibond and ACM-type products for their cabinet skins.  Your Texas sign gets heated!  Dibond and ACM Sheets (Aluminum Composite Materials) which sandwich polyethylene between two thin sheets of aluminum are especially subject to warping.

Plastics and metals expand and contract at different rates.  With Dibond and ACM-type sheets used outdoors, because they are made of two dissimilar types of materials (plastic and aluminium) warp with temperature, hot and cold.  They are not designed for this application, but some sign companies manufacture outdoor signs using them.

They shouldn't.

Certified Welding

We employ Certified Welders; Horizontal, vertical, and overhead.

We are virtually the only sign company in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex employing certified welders.

The Importance of Sign Thickness

The thickness of a sign does more than impart a more prominent importance to a sign, it affects the graphics.

The minimum allowable thickness of a sign depends on the type of internal lighting and the type and size of the sign face.

Lighting and sign face types will be discussed later.

The larger the sign face the thicker a properly made sign cabinet must be.

It is very important that the sign be thick enough that the lighting in the sign does not show as “hot spots” or “zebra striping” on the face of your sign.  Either of these makes your sign look “cheap” no matter what its cost.  In some instances these can be so bad that a sign is not readable at night.  You’ve seen them.

All of this makes the use of extruded aluminium sign frames problematic in building a quality sign, to say nothing about a strong sign (no structural steel inner frame) since extrusions are only available for limited cabinet depths; however some sign companies continue to attempt to do so.  Signs Manufacturing™ does not use extruded cabinets precisely for these reasons.

We calculate what is required to make a proper and impressive sign for you, and then we build it.

It is more expensive to do the job right, but what is the value of a “cheap” sign that gives potential customers a negative impression of your business?

Retainer Types

There are two different retainer types, 3-D "Picture-Frame" retainers, and "flat" retainers.  Which one you choose can dramatically affect the appearance of your sign.  View these retainer styles in our Showroom to understand their differences.

The Importance of Retainer Width

Equally important to the appearance of the sign is the width of the retainer (the ring of metal around the sign face that covers the mechanism that holds the sign face in the cabinet.)

This border plays a very important role in the apparent quality of your sign, and both size and color must be considered in the overall design.

This makes the use of pre-made extruded aluminium sign frames undesirable.

Tabs to other components of a Monument sign are listed down the left side of this page.

Be sure to select the "Specifications" tab in the left column.  This is a tool for your use to insure that quotations you receive are for the same sign!

The Safety Feature of a Fixed Bottom Retainer

Unlike virtually all other manufacturers, we realize that if the bottom retainer, which is simply screwed in place on most signs, falls off, a plastic sign face also falls off; probably breaking.  Our bottom retainer is a fixed part of our sign, and is not removable without disassembling the entire bottom of the sign cabinet.  Much safer.

Soften Your Signage if you Can

While it usually costs more to manufacture a rounded-corner sign than a square-edged sign, you should allow us to do so if your budget will allow.  Why?  Because your sales will probably improve!

In the mid-1960's Procter & Gamble changed the labeling on their Tide® detergent.  The new design eliminated the round "target" in their logo.  Sales immediately dropped.  They immediately redesigned the logo to add-back the round "target" and sales immediately jumped back up, then increased.  This revelation caused a revolution in car designs as well as everything else.

Learn from this; it is now a proven marketing fact that softer, rounded, less "sharp" logos psychologically create a more favorable impression.

When Head & Shoulders® hair shampoo was first being developed, samples were distributed to college students in both rectangular and in rounded containers.  Test results were that students loved the product in the rounded containers, but thought that the product in the rectangular bottles made their scalp itch.  Have you noticed the round "swirl" in the Head & Shoulders® logo?

Visit our Showroom to compare multiple examples of signage with both "squared" and "rounded" corners and "looks."  Decide for yourself before committing to a sign design that can determine the success of your business.

The GRID™ Electrical System

Be sure to view the Electrical page, click HERE, to learn about our exclusive GRID™ electrical system that makes our signage the most reliable on earth.

Automatic Electronic Thermal Lighting Controls*

 When our founder was very young he managed a supermarket, a grocery store.

He discovered that he could affect the store's business by simply turning "on" the store's signs on less-than-sunshiny days.  Cloudy and/or rainy days would have a higher sales volume than bright days, IF HE REMEMBERED TO TURN THE SIGNS ON.

And with the tinted window glass so prevalent in the South it is often-times hard to tell if a business is even open.

These are lessons every business person should be aware of.  And, with today's modern LED illuminated signage, it costs practically nothing to make your store really stand out!

What is the main reason our Sunburst™ LED outdoor digital signs increase a store's business so dramatically?  Lighted signs draw much more attention than unlighted signs, even during the day!

automatic electronic lighting controls on every lighted sign we manufacture*, factory calibrated to turn the sign "on" and "off" at times when lighting will help you do more business.  Over the past 40+ years, we have documented EXACTLY when a sign's lighting should be turned "on" to increase visibility on dark and/or rainy days, overcome shadows, and exactly when at dusk a sign should be turned "on."  The whole purpose of the sign, after all, is to attract attention to your business.  We make your sign both more attention-getting AND more legible, EVEN DURING SOLAR ECLIPSES!

The setting varies for signs pointed East, West, North, or South, and varies for signs containing neon, HID lighting, fluorescents, and/or LEDs.  It also varies by how the sign was built.

Our automatic electronic lighting controls are installed not only to recognize light levels, but also to sense shadows making signs less legible, and turn “on” the internal lighting accordingly.  Optimum settings are custom-set for every sign.

Another example of our doing everything we can to insure that our signs make your business the most successful.  As far as we know, no other sign manufacturer does this, for free or otherwise, for their customers.

If possible, have your electrician also wire a time clock to control the power supplying your signs.  The time clock should be set to keep the sign “off” at times they should never be lighted, say 2:30 AM to 5:30 AM, the rest of the time whether the sign is “on” or “off” should be determined by our automatic lighting controls.  USE ELECTRICITY WISELY TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS THE MOST VISIBLE, BUT CONSERVE ENERGY.

Regarding “Energy Consumption” note how little energy our SolarBrite™ LED lighted signs use in a year!

Recognize that Intermatic and Tork time clocks, used by most electricians, are not finely adjustable, and at certain times of the year dawn and dusk occur at quickly-varying times, gaining or losing over 15 minutes of daylight each week.  If you only have a time clock controlling power to your signs, savvy business owners must reset their time clocks constantly and carefully, and manually override them to turn “on” their signs on dark days.  Good luck getting your employees to do this religiously – THIS IS ALSO WHY WE INCLUDE CALIBRATED AUTOMATIC THERMAL LIGHTING CONTROLS ON EVERY OUTDOOR SIGN WE MANUFACTURE.*  Incidentally, we DO NOT use photo cells or photo eyes.  They are neither precise nor reliable.

Anecdotal data suggests that increased profits resulting from this feature alone more than pays for the entire cost of most signs EVERY YEAR.

Unconvinced of the importance to you?  View our control system in operation, and our supporting testing, in our Sign Lighting Laboratory and Showroom.  Then you can decide if you agree that this is a critically important improvement in signage effectiveness.

*Dependent on size and design.

The failure mode for our automatic electronic lighting controls is "always on." You will never be without an attractive sign if something should break; you'll spend a little more on electricity until we get it fixed.

What are Day-Light Designs™?

Knowing that our signs will be illuminated during the day we design our signs and lighting for daylight effectiveness; to take full advantage of our daytime lighting.

For instance, we pack backlighting to create a subtle glow during the day.  If you are going to light a sign during the day the lighting better look good!

This is easier to accomplish when we incorporate our SolarBrite™ LongLife™ LEDs which are so much brighter than competitive LEDs.

If we didn't use SolarBrite™ LEDs we couldn't design and build signs that offered such an advantage when compared to competitive signs (Both our competitors, and your neighbor's signs.)  We don't waste electricity, simply because our signs always stand out, even when both are lighted.

“We prosper because of our sign. Signs Manufacturing’s unique understanding of the use of colors and light both day and night causes our business to always be the most visible.  No one else could work their magic!” – the 407 club

Signs are Like Boats

There are $50,000 boats and there are $400 boats. Technically both are boats, but don't expect that $400 boat to keep your business afloat. The devil is in the details.

If a company goes to the cost and effort of adding value to their product (types and amount of lighting, paints, protective coatings, etc.), they're going to talk about it. Pay attention to what they aren't telling you.

Our websites, literature and proposals describe in detail what we are quoting, and why we are doing it.

Nobody ever includes quality and features in their products that are not described in their literature and quotations.

Have you had a different experience?

Consider how important a quality sign, being the first thing your customers see of your organization, is to your success.

Buyer Beware! Nothing hurts a business more than bad signage.

North Texas’ Largest Custom Sign Manufacturer

Our suppliers tell us that we are the largest custom sign manufacturer in North Texas. 

But, some of our competitors have begun claiming this also!  Verify.  Ask Google “Who is the largest sign manufacturer in North Texas?"
