From showing customers where you’re located to attracting the eyes of passersby, there are plenty of reasons to invest in an eye-catching business sign. Unfortunately, the sunshine, rain, and humidity can deteriorate your signage, causing the colors to fade. To protect your investment, use these helpful suggestions.

3 Tips to Prevent Your Sign From Fading

1. Protect It With a Sealant

Outdoor signs are vulnerable to damage from the elements, including UV rays from the sun. After a few months of daily exposure to sunlight, you may notice fading, which will be followed by cracking and blistering. Luckily, Professional Image can protect your investment by applying a UV-resistant sealant/lamination.  Best of all, these coatings are clear so that they won’t obscure the appearance of your signage.

2.  Use Window Tints & Awnings

If your signs are placed inside your storefront or window, prevent fading by applying a tint to the glass. This won’t stop customers from viewing the sign; instead, it’ll reduce the strength of the harsh UV rays that stream through the window. As tint may affect the coloring of the signage, you can also install an awning outside your property to shade items inside the store and behind the window.

3. Consider the Environment

Slow the deterioration of your outdoor signs by choosing their placement wisely. For example, observe the way sunlight and shadows fall on your property, and place the signage in a shady area to reduce sun damage. You should also make sure that there aren’t any tree branches or drainage systems directly above the sign, as the debris and liquid can fall onto the display.
