Exterior foam letter signs by Iconography Studios. Custom exterior signage that appropriately reflects your business image is one of the most important investments your business will make. At Iconography Studios, we make the entire process from design through installation easy.
What Are Exterior Foam Letter Signs?
Exterior foam letter signs are weather-resistant, cost-effective 3D signs made from high-density polyurethane architectural foam that provide a thick, bold appearance for business signage, offering a lightweight and budget-friendly alternative to metal or acrylic lettering. They are produced with protective coatings to withstand outdoor conditions, can be customized in various fonts, sizes, and depths, and are easily mounted using adhesives or mounting studs.
What Is Architectural Foam?
Architectural foam is a lightweight, expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam used to create decorative and functional building elements, such as trim, moldings, cornices, columns, and accents. It is coated with a durable finish, often a cement-based product, to protect it from the elements and enhance its appearance, providing a versatile, cost-effective, and easily installed alternative to heavier traditional materials like wood, stone, or pre-cast concrete.
We’ve developed a streamlined, simple process that ensures your exterior foam letter sign will be the best possible sign for your business and your budget, covering all aspects of design, material selection, construction, permitting and installation. Here’s an overview of what you can expect when you work with the experts at Iconography Studios for all of your signage needs:
1. CONSULTATION – First and foremost, we want to understand your business and your objectives for your signage. Do you want to call attention to passerby both during the day and at night? Is your business easy for customers to locate? Is brand recognition an integral part of your signage plan? Our expert account managers will meet with you to discuss your specific needs and goals.
2. DESIGN – Once we have a good understanding of your goals and objectives for your signage, along with your current branding and corporate identity package, we can begin recommending the best types of signs to meet your needs. Size, materials, design, methods of fabrication, and installation location will all be taken into account with your budget and your goals in mind. During the design phase we will make recommendations as well as provide you with proofs and samples so that you can provide input to the process. Once you have approved a final design, including the materials and methods of fabrication, we will then move to the production phase of your sign project.
3. PRODUCTION – During this phase, we take the final design and begin putting together all of the different components for fabricating your sign. Depending on your design, this phase can include a combination of any of the following: large format digital printing; laminating; router cutting letters and logos from a wide variety of materials such as pvc, acrylic, foam, aluminum, wood or glass; painting, etc. Some components of your sign may be assembled and finished in our shop, and other parts may be finished at the job site. Once your sign components have all been fabricated, finished and assembled, your sign is ready for installation.
4. INSTALLATION – Your sign was partly designed and constructed based on where and how it would be installed. Foam letters are easily flush-mounted to smoother wall surfaces such as painted concrete and drywall. Sturdier materials may have been selected for outdoor signs that will be exposed to the elements. Stud mounts may be included if your sign letters are very large or heavy. Regardless of the location or installation service, our team will make sure your sign is properly installed so that it looks great for years to come!
