Selecting the right materials for the Saskatchewan climate is critical for long-term performance. Based on our 35 years of local experience, we recommend the following materials for maximum durability in our extreme conditions:
- Aluminum Composite Panels: Often referred to as Dibond, these are the industry standard for cold regions. They consist of aluminum sheets bonded to a polyethylene core, creating a rigid yet lightweight substrate that resists cracking and warping even when temperatures drop below -30°C. Unlike PVC, which becomes brittle and prone to cracking in the cold, aluminum composite stays stable through repeated thermal cycling.
- Cold Weather LED Signs: For illuminated messaging, we use industrial-grade LED components. These are engineered to gain a thermal advantage in the cold, gaining efficiency as the ambient chill helps dissipate heat. Our systems use power supplies certified for startup at -40°C and sealed diode arrays that prevent moisture from causing short circuits.
- UV-Laminated Vinyl: To protect your graphics from the intense Saskatchewan sun and snow reflection, we apply high-quality UV laminates. This prevents fading, peeling, and delamination caused by UV radiation and moisture.
- Rust-Proof Aluminum and Treated Composites: We prioritize materials that naturally resist corrosion from road salt and moisture. Aluminum does not oxidize like steel, ensuring the structural integrity of your sign against winds reaching 100 km/h.
We handle the entire process from design to installation with a strong attention to detail, ensuring every sign is mounted to withstand frost heave and thermal expansion. Please note that permit and approval requirements vary by municipality; you should confirm with the City of Regina before installation. Results may vary, as signage outcomes like visibility are not guaranteed.
