Yes, UV lamination is the most effective defense against the intense sun and harsh climate of Saskatchewan. As a locally owned and operated sign and graphic company in Regina, we have seen firsthand how the sun’s ultraviolet radiation can cause unprotected graphics to fade within just 6 to 12 months.
Our UV protective overlaminates act as a sacrificial barrier that filters out damaging wavelengths before they reach the ink and vinyl. This process, which counteracts photo-oxidation, provides several key benefits for local businesses:
- Fade Prevention: Effective UV lamination can reduce color fading by up to 90% over a 12-month period, maintaining color integrity for 5 to 7 years.
- Weather Resilience: Beyond sun protection, lamination seals the surface against moisture, road salt, and dirt. It also keeps vinyl flexible during our extreme winters, preventing the cracking and peeling common in untreated materials.
- Abrasion Resistance: The clear film adds a layer of protection against scratches and scuffs from cleaning or daily wear.
We handle the entire process from design to installation, ensuring that every graphic — from weather-resistant fleet graphics to storefront displays — is matched with the right laminate thickness and finish for its environment.
Please note: Permit and approval requirements vary by municipality — confirm with the City of Regina before installation.
