Apartment monument signs can be built with a variety of materials depending on what you’re looking for. High-quality and durable materials should be chosen for signs that will be located in weather that may become inclement. It’s important to note the desired location of your sign. Should it be free standing or will it need to be mounted to a monument base or the side of a wall. A sign located on the front lawn might need to be more weather resistant that one protected by the roof overhang of the front lobby. Each of these factors will be important in choosing your sign material.

Choosing the Material.

When deciding on the best material for apartment monument signs, consider the visual astetic and message you want to send. Carved wood can lend a classic rustic appeal to your sign while metal can be designed for letter applications to a wall. Also worth considering, are materials such as High-density-Urethane or Hard Shell Expanded Polystyrene which can be created to be free standing. This means you won’t need to build a monument base first.

It's a great idea to choose your material for its visual appeal and if it meets the needs of your sign, but also consider any protective coatings it may need. Also consider any upkeep costs. Each material has its own benefits in use. Feel free to reach out to your friendly sign creation professional and learn which option might be best for you.
