Sandblasted Signs

Sandblasted signs showcase an artistic, classic quality for your brand. Sandblasted signs are available in colors, sizes, shapes, and styles that best fit your brand. Allied Signs can build you a redwood or HDU sign. We fabricate and paint all of our sandblasted signs in the shop. – see a sign under construction!

• REDWOOD – Nothing has the beauty and grain pattern of pure vertical-grain redwood, sandblasted to shape. Redwood is a very stable substrate for use on these Signs. These signs project a historic or natural look. Since Redwood is a protected species, the wood makes these signs cost a bit more than HDU. All redwood planks are doweled every 12″ and glued with an exterior-grade wood glue.
• HDU (high-density urethane) board panels at 1-1/2″ thick can be custom cut to size and sandblasted on one side. These panels are not as strong as Redwood unless structure is designed into them, but are a little less expensive. Their durability against exterior weather means they last much longer than untreated wood, with no cracking, rotting, or peeling. When they are sandblasted, the background texture becomes a unique faux-stone surface texture.  
• PAINTING – We use 100% acrylic exterior-grade paints and stains for the longest possible life. These signs will need repainting approximately every 7 years for solid colors, and every 3 years for semiclear stains. (Usually, the poles are stained)
• OPTIONS – The wording can be either raised (with a textured background) or embedded into the surface (with a smooth background). Also, the lettering can have cutout Brass or Aluminum lettering installed onto the surface. The design can feature a combination of any of these letter styles.
• INSTALLATIONS – we can install the panels between Poly columns, brick columns, or onto decorated posts with finials or routed tops.
