Boulder Signs: The Trending Alternative to Traditional Signage
In the world of business, advertising and signage play a significant role in attracting customers and increasing sales.
Signage is an effective way to both greet and communicate with customers, providing information about the business, its products, services, and promotions.
But traditional signage can be boring, unattractive, and ineffective.
That’s why a new trend in signage is fast emerging: stone boulder signs.
In this article, we will explore what boulder signs are and why they are becoming the trending alternative to traditional signage.
What Are Boulder Signs?
Boulder signs are outdoor or indoor signs made from natural boulders, rocks, and stones.
These signs are handcrafted by skilled artisans who carefully select each boulder for its unique shape, size, and colour.
The boulders are then engraved with a design or message using advanced technology to create a durable, long-lasting, and visually stunning sign.
Boulder signs are most often used by businesses as impressive entrance signs but can be used for all other manner of signage.
For example, councils and businesses often commission boulder signs to be crafted and installed to display commemorative plaques in a visually stunning and natural way.
Just take a look at this beautifully unique bird bath we crafted into a stone boulder with commemorative plaque that is displayed at the Tŷ Hafan Memorial Garden.
Or these examples below of an opening plaque displayed on a boulder and detailed gold leaf engravings on another.
Why Are Boulder Signs The Trending Alternative to Traditional Signage?
Boulder signage offers several advantages over traditional signage, which makes them a popular and trending choice for businesses.
Here are some reasons why boulder signs are becoming the go-to signage solution:
Unique and Attractive
Boulder signs stand out from the traditional signs as they offer a unique and attractive look. Each boulder is different, and the natural colours and patterns of the rock add to the overall appeal of the sign. This uniqueness can attract potential customers and make them more likely to notice and remember your business.
Durability
Boulder signs are built to last. Unlike traditional signs that can fade, crack, or peel over time, boulder signs can withstand extreme weather conditions and are resistant to wear and tear. This means your investment in any stone boulder sign will offer a long-lasting solution for your business signage needs.
Low Maintenance
Once installed, boulder signs require very little maintenance. They do not need repainting, cleaning, or repairing, and they are easy to clean with just soap and water. You may want to regularly clean any plaque that is securely mounted onto the boulder so that wording is always clearly displayed, but as the boulder itself is made from natural stone material it requires minimal upkeep.
Eco-Friendly
Boulder signs are environmentally friendly as they use natural materials and require less energy to manufacture. This makes them a sustainable and responsible choice for businesses that want to reduce their carbon footprint.
