Monument Signs

Monument signs are ideal for businesses seeking highly visible, durable, and custom-designed signage that captures attention from a distance. At Applied Groove, we specialize in custom monument signs that suit diverse business needs and branding. Here’s a detailed look at the types of monument signs, their mounting techniques, size considerations, and how they can be tailored to fit within local city ordinances.

Types of Monument Signs

1. Masonry Monument Signs: Made from brick, stone, or concrete, these signs provide a timeless, sturdy look and are ideal for permanent installations. Masonry adds a classic aesthetic and excellent durability against weather elements.

2. Aluminum and Metal Frame Signs: For a modern, streamlined appearance, aluminum monument signs are lightweight yet durable. They’re resistant to rust and can be powder-coated to match your brand’s colors.

3. Acrylic and Foam Monument Signs: These signs mimic the look of heavier materials like stone or brick but are significantly lighter. They offer flexibility in design and are cost-effective for businesses looking for durable but affordable monument signage.

4. Digital Monument Signs: Perfect for businesses needing dynamic messaging, digital monument signs incorporate LED displays for programmable, changeable content. They are ideal for high-traffic areas where updated information is critical.

5. Illuminated Monument Signs: Integrated LED lighting adds visibility during nighttime or low-light conditions, making these signs effective and eye-catching around the clock.

Mounting Techniques

1. Direct Embedment: The sign is embedded directly into the ground, providing strong anchorage for heavy signs like masonry or aluminum. This method ensures stability against weather and natural elements.

2. Base Plate Mounting: A secure option where the sign’s frame is attached to a base plate and then anchored to a concrete footing. This allows easier adjustments during installation.

3. Pole Mounting: For signs needing extra height, pole mounting elevates the sign to improve visibility. It is particularly effective in areas where visibility from a distance is necessary, such as shopping centers or roadside businesses.
