The longevity of the signs at your store, restaurant or other commercial establishment is dependent upon three factors: materials, environment and relevancy.<\/p>\n

How Long Does Signage Typically Last?<\/h3>\n

The International Sign Association suggests that the average outdoor sign will last approximately seven years<\/a>, depending on the materials you select. Signage in aluminum, bronze or other metals might last almost indefinitely with proper care, while others with painted surfaces won\u2019t be as durable. Another example: Vehicle wraps are currently produced in vinyl so rugged that it\u2019s likely to work for up to 10 years, which is longer than most people keep their cars, trucks, delivery vans or trailers. Luckily, vehicle wraps are also readily removable in addition to their ability to go the extra mile!<\/p>\n

How Environmental Exposure Impacts the Lifespan of Your Signage<\/h3>\n

Environmental factors also greatly affect the longevity of your signage. And while the \u201cusual suspects\u201d like wind, rain, extreme heat and freezing temperatures are major concerns, the primary one is the sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) light. UV rays can fade colors and degrade plastics over time\u2014including not only those in acrylics, nylon and vinyl, but also those in commonly applied latex-based paints and coatings. In contrast, interior business signs that are shielded from sunlight and its UV rays may last almost indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Why Signage Relevancy Matters<\/h3>\n

Perhaps the single most important factor when considering the replacement of your signage is relevancy. While many signs will last 5 or 10 years or even longer, it may not be wise to hold on to one for too long. Why? Signage is an investment in marketing\u2014one that should change as your business evolves so that it accurately represents your current branding and style.<\/p>\n

Why ADA Signage Requires Ongoing Review<\/h3>\n

Frequent changes to\u00a0Americans with Disabilities Act<\/strong>\u00a0(ADA) requirements are another argument for regular reviews<\/a>, if not replacement, of your signage. Often identified as signage with braille and raised characters, ADA signs identify permanent rooms, exits, functional spaces and accessible features of a facility.<\/p>\n
