FAQs About Carved Signs
-
What’s the difference between HDU and wood signs?
HDU is a lightweight, durable, synthetic material that won’t rot or crack like natural wood. Wood offers a classic look and grain but requires more maintenance.
-
Can carved signs be painted or color-matched?
Our LED components typically last 8–12 years or more, depending on usage and exposure.
-
Do you offer installation for carved signs?
Absolutely. We fabricate mounting structures and offer full installation for post-mounted and wall-mounted applications.
-
Are carved signs available double-sided?
Yes. Many of our carved signs are double-sided for visibility from both directions.
