Monolith Signs Offers the Cost Effective Idea

Monolith signs are one of the most eye-catching pieces of signage equipment, which is why they are often used at site entrances or for directional reasons. They are usually free standing signs, of a fairly significant size, and shape wise they tend to be tall and slim. This type of sign has been designed so that it can be viewed from all angles and still deliver its message, which is why these signs are such a great, versatile product that comes in useful in such a wide range of different settings, whether temporary or permanent.

This type of sign is meant to have an impact, which is why it has such a commanding height and is constructed to be able to withstand weather conditions if placed outside. It comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from curved to straightforward rectangular, and can be single or double sided, depending on where it is likely to be positioned. If the sign is likely to be placed up against a wall or hedge then single sided is a better use of resources, but if it is going to be used in the middle of a larger area, a double sided sign is ideal because it can be viewed by people walking towards it in both directions.

Monolith signs http://www.is-group.co.uk/About-Us/Types-of-Signs/Monolith-Totem-Signs are usually constructed from some sort of mild steel, which is used to make the internal structure that provides support to the frame. The frame casing is usually aluminium or stainless steel. Using these types of materials to make the sign ensures that it will be robust and hardwearing, so that it is long lasting enough to justify the outlay invested in it and making it resilient to weather conditions if it is likely to be placed outside.

This type of sign has many advantages and one of them is that it is very simple to install – it can be put up and start working in a very short period of time, making it very versatile for situations where last minute signage is needed. Typically, monoliths have two main installation methods: larger moonlights tend to use the cage installation method, where a trench is dug in the ground and the cage is concreted into a block with rods exposed for the monolith to be bolted onto. Alternatively, smaller signs will usually have posts that extend below its base and these can simply be pushed into two holes dug in the ground.

Monoliths are useful during both daytime and nighttime hours and can be illuminated to make sure that they still show up after dark. Fluorescent tubes have traditionally been the main way to illuminate this type of sign, but it is also possible to do this with LEDs. Whilst the initial cost of using LEDs tends to be higher, this is often offset by the fact that a sign with LEDs will use less electricity than a sign made with fluorescent tubes.

For businesses looking to have a branding presence in a public place, monolith signs offer the idea way to do it. They are cost effective, versatile and continue spreading the marketing message both day and night.
