Decals: a great way to stick a custom sign right to your walls, windows, or vehicles.
Dibond: a water-proof material made of a plastic core between two sheets of aluminum. Dibond is both lightweight and strong.
Dura-wood: a material well suited to wall mounted signs, smaller post mounted signs and hanging signs. Dura-wood is rot-proof and highly tolerant of extreme weather conditions.

The best sign ever!!
The sign looks gorgeous!!! Overall experience was great! Justin was so knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. He advised what material would be better in my case. Also, he went an extra step to contact and instruct installers on how to put the sign up. This saved me lots of time. The real sign looks just like the digital preview. Thank you so much!!!!! My dental office looks so much better now.
