At Hunter Signs, we know how important it is to have well-maintained signs for your business. A broken or neglected sign can be embarrassing and send the wrong message to your customers. Not only does it detract from your brand image, but it also falls short in communicating effectively. Here are some tips from our team to help you avoid these issues and maintain your signage with ease.
Location and Cleaning
The location of your sign plays a crucial role in how often it needs maintenance. Signs exposed to harsh weather conditions, such as direct sunlight, heavy rain, or strong winds, will require more frequent cleaning and upkeep. Choosing durable materials like ACP (aluminium composite panels) with a protective laminate can help ensure your signs remain in good condition for a longer time. Regular cleaning is essential to remove dirt, grime, and other debris that can accumulate and cause wear and tear over time.
Regular Checks
It’s important to develop a routine for regularly checking your signs. This proactive approach allows you to identify and address issues early before they become major problems. Look for signs of wear such as peeling or faded paint, cracks in the vinyl, and chips or cracks in the glass. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for any signs of vandalism. By catching these issues early, you can make necessary repairs quickly and keep your signage looking fresh.
Choosing the Right Products
Using the correct cleaning and maintenance products is essential for preserving the quality of your signs. Different materials require specific products to clean effectively without causing damage. For instance, some cleaners are designed specifically for vinyl or plastic, while others are better suited for glass or wood. Always ensure you are using products that are compatible with the materials your signs are made from to maintain their appearance and longevity, and if you’re not sure, ask our friendly team for advice!
Environmental Factors
The environment around your signs can significantly impact their condition. Factors such as pollution, dirt, vehicle exhaust and salty ocean air can degrade the quality of your signage over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help mitigate these effects. Additionally, considering the placement of your signs can help reduce exposure to these environmental factors. For instance, placing signs away from heavy traffic areas or industrial zones where possible can minimise exposure to pollutants.
