Why do custom wood signs continue to be popular for Charleston, SC businesses?
Wood signs, or wooden , has been around for many years. In Charleston, SC people tend to like tradition, so the fact that wooden signs are still in high demand is not surprising. What has surprised me is that so many newer businesses with younger owners are choosing wood signs as well. With so many business owners of the next generation being "high tech", it is a pleasant surprise to know that they still occasionally choose something even their parents understand!
have a look and feel that others signs cannot duplicate. Because they can be made in such a wide variety of sizes they are versatile as well. While some companies choose other materials many of them come back to wood signs. Wooden signs have a popularity that never quite goes away.
Are all wood signs made the same?
No, there are several style choices in wood signs. You will need to decide which style works best for the environment of your business as well as the image you want to portray. You can get a painted wood sign, a wood sign with vinyl overlay, or even a sand blasted sign. These choices work well for the different areas of Charleston. Sandblasted wood signs are a popular choice for private homes as well as businesses. It can have many uses whether it is a family name, the address or something else all together. The materials vary from sign to sign as well. A painted wood sign or one with a vinyl overlay would not use the same wood as a sand blasted sign. These are choices you may want to consider discussing with a sign specialist as TheSignChef.com in Charleston, SC 29418
Don't you have to worry about wood signs rotting?
Unfortunately for consumers, far too many sign companies mistakenly use regular plywood for permanent outdoor wood signs. These home building materials were never intended to be turned into outdoor wooden signs.This is one of the reasons that wooden signs have gotten such a bad reputation. However, there is an alternative that we recommend for wooden signs. It is a material called Rot-Safe™ and is made specifically to handle the elements. 
The raw material for our Rot-Safe™ Wood Painted Signs starts with a high quality MDO (Medium Density Overlay) plywood core. A special hardwood veneer face - sanded before the overlay is applied - minimizes wood grain show-through, even after it's painted.
The ultra-smooth overlay is a high fiber sheet which has been treated with a resin formula for optimal paint adhesion yielding superior surface performance and much longer life than other wooden sign materials. Proper signage is an investment that should last. Wooden signs made with Rot-safe™ are rated to last 10 years outdoors!
Rot-Safe™ Wood Painted Signs also feature solid inner plys and a tight core gap which means fewer and smaller edge voids for even greater weather resistance. No other custom wood painted sign stays as smooth for as long. Although the wooden sign panel itself is sealed at the factory with commercial primer and paint, computer generated vinyl letters and graphics are applied to the painted surface resulting in a premium, commercial quality wood painted sign.
What types of Charleston companies choose wood signs the most?
