EDMONTON · EXTERIOR SIGNAGE

Exterior signage
built for Alberta.

Outdoor signage in this climate takes a beating: forty-degree temperature swings, wind, ice and salt spray off the road. Materials and detailing matter as much as the design.

Frontage specifies exterior signage for the exposure it will actually face, coordinates the permits and drawings, and installs with the right equipment and access planning.

Specified for the conditions

01

Weather-rated materials

Aluminum, marine-grade fasteners, UV-stable faces and vinyls intended for prolonged outdoor exposure.

02

Sealing and drainage

Penetrations sealed and cabinets drained so meltwater doesn't sit inside the sign.

Wind and structural load

Freestanding and projecting signage engineered for the loads the site sees.

04

Corrosion resistance

Finishes and hardware chosen with winter road salt in mind.

05

Serviceability

Documentation prepared to the standard the approval process expects.

Common questions

How do exterior signs hold up to Edmonton winters?

Well, if they're specified for it. The failures we see come from trapped moisture, unsealed penetrations and hardware that isn't corrosion-resistant. We detail for freeze-thaw cycles, wind load and road salt from the start.

Can signs be installed in winter?

Much exterior work can, though very cold days affect adhesives, sealants and lift safety. We schedule around conditions and tell you honestly when waiting produces a better result.

Do you handle sign removals too?

Yes—removing old signage, making the wall good and disposing of the material is regularly part of the scope when new signage goes up.
