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.
