If you are looking for a more traditional sign with painted letters as opposed to vinyl these signs might be the answer. They are made with Tricoya – a wood based board made using a high performance resin. It is very stable, strong, durable and weatherproof. Tricoya itself comes with a 50 year guarantee. It is also environmentally friendly. The black sign with gold lettering looks amazing. These signs look great as house signs or large commercial signage. http://www.sign-maker.net/commercial/painted-signs.html
