Build a Custom Sign Using Foamcore
Posted on Tue, Nov 01, 2011
Building a monument sign can be quite expensive – unless you take advantage of the latest advancements. Foamcore is a durable, lightweight, and affordable product that many companies and individuals are turning to for custom made monument signs.
One of the biggest advantages of foamcore is the fact that it's so lightweight. Heavy materials like concrete have several disadvantages: their weight makes it difficult to replace, once installed they are essentially permanent, and a professional is needed to relocate a heavy sign.
On the other hand, foamcore can be taken down and replaced as signs need to be changed. Some companies change their signs when a new partner or owner enters the mix, or they may change the sign seasonally as their target demographic has different needs from them.

Some companies or individuals worry that because foamcore is not made of a heavy material, it will show signs of wear and tear. Luckily, the latest manufacturing techniques produce a product that is extremely durable, and that's made specifically to withstand the elements.
Finally, let's consider the cost of a concrete monument sign. For many companies, it can cost thousands of dollars and take many months to make. On the other hand, foamcore is extremely affordable. It provides people with any budget to utilize a high quality, durable sign.
