Material guidance

The look does not force the material

A sign can have strong wood character without being built from natural lumber. Depending on exposure, weight, carving depth and maintenance goals, we may recommend HDU, real wood, acrylic or a layered combination. Read why HDU is often used for exterior wood-look signs, or compare options in our wood sign design guide.
