How to Decide Between Sandblasted Redwood & HDU Signs
To some, Redwood and High Density Urethane (HDU) Sandblasted Signs may seem and appear quite similar.
- Both sign styles have an attractive, rustic finish.
- Both types of custom signage are dimensional.
- And the sandblasted background of both materials combined
with carved, raised letters creates a professional look that
offers more character than a flat sign.
But the truth is, the materials themselves as well as the benefits
of each are as different from each other as a fine red wine is
from a fine white.
"But if the materials are so different, how do I know which material is right for me?"
Let's talk about Sandblasted Redwood Signs first.
Sandblasted Redwood Signs
Redwood lumber is a lightweight but strong material that boasts a natural beauty. TheSignChef uses only select grade, clear heart redwood on all of their Sandblasted Redwood Signs. We offer 1" and 1.5" finished dimension Redwood, and our standard blast depths are 1/4" to 3/8" varying to the wood itself.
TheSignChef uses beautiful redwood that is:
- Knot-free
- Flat grain blasted
- Solid and Strong
- Beautifully Carved with Raised Grain
Reasons why some people prefer Redwood Signs
- Redwood lumber is a very natural material.
- Since each piece of wood blasts differently, every redwood sign is completely unique.
- Redwood is a very strong sign surface that is rarely affected by the wind. While HDU is durable, it is lighter and more flexible than wood. Windy weather can bend and damage long, thin HDU signs stretched between two posts.
Sandblasted High Density Urethane (HDU) Foam Signs
Some people come to TheSignChef searching specifically for Sandblasted Redwood Signs but then opt to use Sandblasted HDU Foam Signs instead. HDU foam is a flexible, durable material and is much thicker than most types of foam. It was designed specifically to make signs, and can be made to look dimensional just like redwood signs.
Our HDU signs come in 1", 1.5", 2", 3" or 4" finished dimension. Because HDU is a synthetic material, sandblasting each piece produces a predictable result every time
Reasons why some people prefer HDU Signs
- We live in a world that is "going green" more and more with each day. So let's face it…some people choose HDU signs over Redwood to save trees!
- HDU Foam Signs are lower in price than Sandblasted Redwood Signs. The material itself is cheaper, and manufacturing costs are lower because the material itself is easier to shape than wood.
- As a petroleum based material, HDU is naturally waterproof. This means that HDU lasts longer than wood and doesn't need to be replaced as often.
