Sandblasted & Routed Signs in Chicago, IL

Hand-Crafted Sandblasted Wood & HDU Signs for Storefronts & Landmarks

A sign represents your image. Image is everything in business. Although sandblasted signs are more expensive than 'quick sign' vinyl sticker style sign solutions, a sandblasted sign will last for decades. A typical vinyl sign has an exterior life expectancy of less than 5 years.

Whether you are looking for a residential entrance sign, development directional signs, business park tenant signs, lobby or reception displays, church reader boards or golf course signage, we can provide a solution that will exceed your expectations and leave a lasting impression.

Popular Substrates:

• Cedar - Cedar is a great sign building material because of its resistance to bugs and rot. Cedar is easily sandblasted and the resulting signs can last many years. The downside is that cedar is a natural product and no matter how much care is used in the fabrication of the cedar sign the wood is still (eventually) subject to decay. Cedar is also becoming harder to come by.
• HDU (High Density Urethane) - HDU is the most popular choice of substrate for sandblasted signs today and it's the material we use for the majority of our signs. It is impervious to insects and rot and unaffected by temperature changes. Unlike cedar, HDU is readily available, is stable, carves easily, and paints beautifully. It also looks just like wood when painted.
