For outdoor signage in Regina, UV lamination is the most effective defense against Saskatchewan’s harsh climate. It acts as a sacrificial barrier that protects your investment from several environmental threats:
- Photo-oxidation and Fading: The UV protective overlaminate contains hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) that absorb high-energy UV photons, reducing color fading by up to 90% over a 12-month period. This ensures your graphics stay vibrant for 5 to 7 years, compared to just 1 to 2 years for untreated vinyl.
- Weather Resistance: Our climate experiences intense summer sun and sub-zero winters. Lamination seals the surface against moisture and road salt, helping the vinyl remain flexible to prevent the cracking and peeling often caused by extreme cold.
- Physical Protection: The clear film—available in thicknesses like 1.0 mil for conformability or 2.5 mil for high-wear areas—adds a layer of scratch and abrasion resistance. This protects your graphics from dirt, incidental scuffs, and routine cleaning.
We handle the entire process from design to installation, using our 35 years of local experience to ensure your signs are built for local performance. If you are ready to protect your brand, contact us for a free quote on custom UV laminated vinyl graphics.
