For businesses facing the extreme winds and freeze-thaw cycles of Saskatchewan, we recommend aluminum composite panels (ACP) and polycarbonate sign faces as the most durable options.
- Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP): These panels feature two aluminum skins bonded to a polyethylene core, creating a lightweight yet incredibly rigid substrate. They are engineered to never rot, warp, or corrode, and they can withstand temperatures as low as -40°C while maintaining their structural integrity against heavy wind loads.
- Polycarbonate Sign Faces: If your signage requires a translucent face for illumination, polycarbonate is the gold standard for durability. It is up to 250 times more impact-resistant than glass and significantly tougher than acrylic. Because it bends rather than shattering upon impact, it is ideal for high-wind areas where flying debris might be a concern.
- Pylon Signs: For maximum visibility along major corridors, we utilize heavy-duty pylon construction. These include robust steel supports anchored to deep concrete foundations, specifically engineered to remain stable during extreme weather and high wind speeds.
With 35 years of local experience as a locally owned and operated sign and graphic company in Regina, we handle the entire process from design to installation. We ensure all structural engineering meets the standards required for our local climate.
Note: Permit and approval requirements vary by municipality — please confirm with the City of Regina before installation to ensure compliance with local signage bylaws. Contact us today for a free quote on your high-durability signage project.
