Signage Maintenance 101: Tips to Keep Your Custom Signs Looking Great

Sustaining the aesthetic appeal, functionality, and durability of a sign is imperative for businesses to attract and retain customers. 

In Kalgoorlie, where the extreme weather conditions of high temperatures, sunlight, and dust can be detrimental to the longevity and effectiveness of signage, regular maintenance is crucial. However, implementing these tips and strategies will make your sign remain visually appealing, perform optimally, and even endure the harshest climate of Kalgoorlie.

Routine Cleaning and Inspection

Regular cleaning and inspection are the foundation of effective signage maintenance:

• Dust Removal: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and debris from sign surfaces, frames, and fixtures regularly, especially in outdoor environments prone to dust storms.
• Cleaning Solutions: Use mild soap and water or specialised signage cleaners to gently remove dirt, grime, and pollutants from signage surfaces without causing damage.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents that can cause damage to the materials or finishes over time.
• Inspect for Damage: Conduct regular inspections for signs of wear, fading, cracking, peeling, or loosening of fixtures, and address any issues promptly.

Protective Measures

Implementing these additional protective measures can help shield your signage from environmental hazards:

• UV Protection: Applying UV-resistant coatings or laminates to sign surfaces can prevent fading, discolouration, and deterioration caused by prolonged sunlight exposure.
• Weatherproofing: Preventing moisture ingress by sealing edges, seams, and mounting hardware on outdoor signage helps avoid rust, corrosion, or warping of materials.
• Anti-Graffiti Coatings: Applying anti-graffiti coatings to sign surfaces makes cleaning easier and protects against vandalism, particularly in high-traffic areas.
• Shade Structures: Installing shade structures or awnings provides additional protection for outdoor signage from direct sunlight and weather elements.
