Carved storefront hanging signDesign concept

01Storefront and hanging signs

Your sign is the first thing a customer reads, often from across the street. A carved sign has real depth, so the letters catch the light and read clearly from the sidewalk and the parking lot. Outdoor signs are carved from HDU sign foam, made for signs: it won't rot, warp or split, and it holds paint through Texas sun and storms.

Options
  • Blade and hanging signs
  • Wall signs
  • Post-mounted signs
Best for
  • Shops, cafes, salons
  • Offices with street frontage
  • Wineries, ranches, farm stands

  • Post, monument or gate mounting
  • Single- or double-sided
  • Installation through a trusted local installer
