Introduction to Monument Signs
What is a monument sign?
Monuments signs are different from other signs because the bottom of the sign is at grade, eliminating any visible posts, poles or other support structure.
Monument signs were traditionally constructed of masonry and are very popular with churches, schools, business parks, residential neighborhoods, apartments, condominiums and professional/office buildings.
Why choose a monument sign?
Monuments provide a sense of distinction and permanence to the property they are located on.
Monuments also eliminate unsightly poles and visual clutter that go along with other sign types. Countless municipalities have created “Monuments only” sign ordinances to insure the beauty of their towns.
What is a manufactured monument?
A manufactured monument is one that is made in a factory instead of being constructed on site. They arey and affordably shipped anywhere in the country. They are manufactured using an engineered system of polymer based materials. The result is a sign incredibly strong yet light enough to be easily and affordably shipped anywhere in the country. See Materials for an in-depth look at all of the components of a manufactured monument.
Manufactured monuments are installed on two simple mounting poles. The poles are postioined in post holes and the post holes are then filled with concrete. See Installation for complete details.
Why choose a manufactured monument?Manufactured monuments have become the industry standard for several reasons.
• Lower cost.
• Shorter completion time.
• Easier design process.
• Easier installation without the mess of old fashioned monument construction.
• Incredibly long, maintenance free life.
