*As with all materials, life expectancy may vary depending on how well the sign is maintained. Signs should be stored in a Vertical position and never laid flat or stacked on each other. All signs should be stored inside when not being used. Excessive exposure to salt water, moisture and heat may also affect the life of the sign. There are many variables that can affect the life of your sign but if you maintain it properly it should provide you at least the minimum life as described above for each material. |
