Parking Lot Signs
« on: October 22, 2011, 10:57:35 AM »
I have a customer that wants to put signs like this in
his parking area.  He says they are made of just regular
4 mil. white coroplast.   
Is there an alternative substrate I can suggest that would
hold up better for this type use but not make them cost
prohibitive?

All I have is this photo to go by...I am guessing they are
about 18"-24"  by  6'.

Are they just glued (epoxy?) to the cement?
I don't have to worry about installation myself as these would
be going to different areas all over the country... but I would
like to offer instructions as to what to use.

Anyone make something similar to this?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Something like Komatex might be okay.  $50 for 4x8 sheet @ 6mm thick.  I get mine at Aluma Panel : http://www.alumapanel.com/view_product.cfm?step=1&lines_ID=317&name=Komatex%20Colors

Here is the Komatex website: http://www.kommerlingusa.com/komatex/fabrication.cfml

Sold to me as indoor and outdoor.  I've been using it outdoor - I'd hate to think they changed their mind.  Several signs are about a year old now, doing well.  None "straight out" in the open.  All under eaves.

Some of the aluminum sheets that Aluma Panel carries are cuttable with "regular woodworking tools" and are not much more than the Komatex product.
