Sandblasting is a great method for making striking signage where part of the sign such as letters and images appear raised compared to the sign background. By forcing solid particles (usually sand) at high speeds across the surface of a sign panel, it creates a 3D design with smooth, even finish.
Sandblasted signs are versatile outdoor (and occasionally indoor) signs. A sandblasted sign would be great to identify an ice cream store in Rockville, a townhouse subdivision outside of Rockville, or almost any other type of building in Montgomery County, MD, or Washington, DC.
The two most commonly used materials for sandblasted signs are cedar and high-density urethane (HDU). Cedar is durable, easy to sandblast and it is the type of lumber that is perhaps the most resistant to rot and bugs. Some businesses prefer to use HDU, which is typically less expensive than cedar. HDU is practically impervious to insects and temperature fluctuations. HDU can also be designed to resemble natural wood. As a process, sandblasting is often more involved than simply printing text on a sign panel, so you should only trust an expert local sign business to make your sandblasted sign.
