Superman Strength & Considerable Savings – The NEW Monument Sign

What is the first word that comes to mind when you hear the term “monument sign?” Do the words expensive, heavy or big come to mind? Not anymore!! It’s time to shatter those pre-conceived notions & meet the new monument sign of 2010, the Foamcore Monument Sign.

There are several different finishing systems that can be used when manufacturing monument signs. These include Traditional (Brick or Stone), EIFS (Dryvit), Urethane and the NEW Poly-Armor ™. While all of these methods will create a beautiful finished product initially – they are not created equally.

EIFS (Dryvit) and Urethane monument finishing systems are relatively lighter and cheaper at the start- which makes them a great alternative for some consumers to the traditional stone or brick sign. However, they are prone to dry rot, impact and moisture retention – ultimately destroying the once beautiful structure and costing you more money in the long run. In addition to a high failure rate, some components of these structures must be completed on site and seamed and jointed pieces could be necessary to complete the on-site portion of the product’s installation process.

For years consumers were forced to choose between the heavy traditional monument sign and the cheaper Dryvit and urethane signs which didn’t last… there wasn’t a quality alternative until now. In 2003, a quality alternative was developed to compete with the traditional monument sign and the Dryvit/urethane finishing systems. Within the last 7 years, that alternative has evolved and is now the primary finishing system of choice for the world’s largest retailers, property managers and complexes. That finishing system is the Poly-Armor ™ finishing system used exclusively in The Original Foamcore Monument Sign.

The Poly-Armor ™ finishing system is a unique plastic hard coat that is sprayed on a solid block of foam. It is rot, moisture, termite and damage resistant. It has been referred to as the superman of signs, since several Foamcore monument signs finished with the Poly-Armor ™ hard coat have withstood the test of floods, extreme winds, hurricanes and direct impact from vehicles. The Original Foamcore Monument Sign is independently tested and approved to withstand 175 MPH winds, and is extremely lightweight. This allows for significant cost savings since no metal bracing or on-site construction is necessary. In addition, there are no seams or jointed pieces – just one solid structure that will stand the test of time.

The Original Foamcore Monument Sign is available at all Sign A Rama locations and can be used in conjunction with dimensional letters, faux brick & stone accents, integrated graphics, light boxes, LED message centers and more.
