Durability

Seven (7) years. Durability will be affected by actual exposure conditions and sign face maintenance.

Usage and Application Information

For best results on large, continuous-color signs, be sure to utilize material from identical rolls on the same sign face to assure consistent light diffusion so as not to adversely affect the color reflection and transmission across the sign face.
