Sun fades ink, frost lifts edges, salt eats metal. With so many materials available it can be hard to know which suits the job — so here is what each one is for, how long it is guaranteed outdoors, and where it belongs.
Indoors and sheltered walls. The everyday choice.
Rigid, weatherproof, won't warp on a post.
Headlight-bright after dark. For traffic routes.
Unlit roadways, junctions and dark car parks.
Where a standard sign would look out of place.
Including the specialist boards and banners. Any row takes you straight to the signs available in that material.
