We have over 2500 photos of signs of this type of sign or plaque shown in our application Photo Galleries 10 through through 35 on this website. They are much in demand for government and organization seal wall plaques (Gallery 7 and Galleries 30-35) , where the entire plaque is carved in 3-D. However, many clients also wish to have carved 3-D trees & flowers, horses, dogs, wildlife, fish, birds, etc. mounted on their 2.5-D signs. We have 45 Photo Galleries of various applications that show 3-D carvings such scales of justice on attorney signs, sea-life on beach-house signs, horses on equestrian signs, flowers and trees on home address signs, etc. These appliques, which are mounted on 2.5-D signs, are which have much lower costs (typically $50 to $75 in additional cost) than full 3-D signs or plaques.

HIGHEST QUALITY - OUR HDU SIGNS ARE MADE OF THE FINEST MATERIALS, AND HAVE LONG LIFE & MINIMAL MAINTENANCE.
We use the very best materials and manufacturing processes to create signs which have a very long life (20+ years) and require very little maintenance. We provide a warranty of 2 years, and we expect our HDU signs to last for several decades. We carve our HDU signs and plaques out of premium ultra High-Density-Urethane (HDU) Precision Board Plus sheets made by Coastal Enterprises, in Orange, CA. We use 20 lb/ft3 HDU for all our signs & plaques, about the density of Redwood, The premium grade of HDU we use is 30% denser and stronger than the 15 lb/ft3 HDU used by other sign manufacturing companies. Our signs carve cleaner, last longer, and are less susceptible to impact damage than HDU signs made by other companies. We use exclusively Ultra Low VOC Matthews automotive-grade 2-part polyurethane acrylic paint and clear-coats , which are UV and graffiti resistance, so there is very little fading when the sign is exposed to direct sunlight, and graffiti can usually be cleaned off with acetone. Matthews paints cost $200/gallon, compared to house paints which cost $40/gallon that most other sign companies use. Matthews MAP will last 20 years or more before re-painting. We use 1-Shot Low VOC Oil-Based High Gloss Lettering Enamels for text and artwork. 1-Shot is simply the best (and most expensive) lettering enamel in the world. It costs nearly $200/gallon.
