Questions
and Answers:
(actual questions submitted by our
customers)
|
| Q. I do not understand the difference
between a regular street sign and an extruded sign. |
A. Our Flat Sign Blanks have a 3/8" radius curve
on all four corners. They are less expensive and can be hung directly on the wall, or
mounted using any of our sign mounting hardware. Our Extruded Sign Blanks have a thicker
edge on the top and bottom. They are more expensive and more ridged (hard to bend). The
edges (left and right) are not painted. Both styles are very popular.
|
| Q.
What's an eProof? |
A. We do eProofs (or samples) of all of our Street Name Signs so
that our customers will know what they are getting. When you place your Street Name Sign
order, make sure that you request an eProof. When your order is received by
Sign Avenue we use our best graphic judgment in putting together a sample of the Street Name
Sign/Signs that you've just ordered. The eProof will be E-mailed to you in a Gif or
Jpeg format. If the first generation eProof is not what you expected, we encourage
you to request changes. So, in other words, we like happy customers. We don't want you to
pay for your street sign until you're happy with what it's going to look like.
Processing for eProofs takes just 48 hours.

| Q.
Do the letters reflect light
so if they need an ambulance in the middle of the night the name will show? That is the
purpose of the sign and it is very dark here at night |
A.
Our sign blanks have an
engineer grade reflective green finish on both sides. The white vinyl lettering that we
use is not actually reflective; but the entire sign can be seen very well at night, and
appears reflective.
|
| Q.
How long would my street sign
it take and what would it cost? Do you accept checks and/or money orders? Lastly, do you
make street signs w/ white letters & a blue background? Thanks, your signs look the
best of all I've seen so far! |
A. We can do white on blue but it would take a few days longer.
Normally our street signs take 10 to ship out via UPS once your payment has been received
(for personal checks add an additional 4 days). I recommend that you go to our Shopping Cart System to get your
total cost, and see our terms of sale. You can order the Wing Bracket there too. Make sure
to give is information about how you'd like your final sign to look in the Comments
section, and we'll send you a final eProof.
|
| Q.
What size would I need
for my street name? I'm thinking 30" x 6", but if it can fit on the smaller
24" x 6" that would be better, since I don't have a million dollars! |
A. We carry vary the letter sizes to fit as many
as many as 18 letters and spaces on a 36" x 6" sign. A general rule of
thumb is that the 24" x 6" sign will fit up to 10-11 letters and spaces, the
30" x 6" sign will fit up to 12-13 letters, and like I said earlier we can fit
up to 18 letters and spaces on the 36" x 6" sign, but the letters will be
smaller. If all else fails; take your best shot - we'll design your sign for you and send
you an eProof for your approval.

| Q.
I live out in the
country on a lake and the roads need signs and directional arrows. I would like to know if
these signs can be used for street identification and for directions? Can you put arrows
on the signs to give directions and will the signs hold up under adverse weather
conditions? |
A. Thanks for your inquiry. See this .GIF file
(thumbnail)  .
We could something like that. And for your information; our Street Sign aluminum blanks
are better than the real thing. Theft and getting run over by vehicles are usually the
only predators. Plus we use Premium Vinyl, rated at 5 years (outdoor durability).
|
| Q.
Just got the custom warning sign a little
while ago and it's FANTASTIC! I love it! I meant to ask, what size of screws
should I use for putting this sign on a wall? |
A. Thanks for your inquiry. If you where mounting
your Custom Warning Sign on a round Pipe Post using a Pipe Post Bracket you would use the
1/4" hex bolts that are provided with the bracket. These would be obvious
overkill for affixing a Warning Sign on to the wall of inside your home. I typically
recommend using two 1/8" silver screws (deck type) of sufficient length to hit a
stud; or use plastic mollies if there is no stud. Then you'll most likely want some
5/8" washers (big enough to cover the pre-drilled holes). If you come up with a
better idea, please let us know. Thanks!
