No Comments Crafting Custom Cedar Wood Signs For Christmas
Cottage Signs For Christmas
When the weather starts to get chilly and everyone heads indoors to Hygge, we start preparing our cedar signs for the Christmas season. Every year we receive requests for Cottage Signs for Christmas Gifts. They make a unique gift and each cedar cottage sign can be personalized to an individual’s taste. This means they become a timeless gift that can be displayed with pride all year long.
Wood Signs That Weather Well
While there are several types of wood signs, we prefer to use Canadian Western Red Cedar for our cottage signs because of the longevity of the wood. Cedar holds up against the elements and with our 4 seasons ranging from heat and humidity in the summer to the freezing temperatures and moisture in the winter it is the best choice for custom signage.
We Make What Works For You
Our custom sign designers keep your budget in mind when it comes to creating a cottage sign that meets your specifications. You are able to select the size, shape, text and image for your sign. You can also decide if the sign is to be a single sided or a double sided sandblasted wood sign. You even has the option of having a custom post created to match your sign. With all of this choice, you are sure to find a mix that works for you.
What You Need To Provide When Ordering A Sign For Christmas
Because you want to ensure you receive your quote in a timely fashion, follow these steps
- Know your budget
- Decide on a size
- Figure out the shape you want the sign to be
- Provide the text to be on the sign
- Think of an image that would suit the sign
Once you have prepared these five items, send an email to sales@sign-depot.on.ca to receive your quote. Please note that taxes, shipping and/or installation are extra. Be aware the earlier you get your order in the better, as there will be time required to prepare and custom finish your sign.
Custom Wood Signs Created To Weather The Outdoors
When The Weather Outside Is Frightful, Your Custom Wood Sign Can Still Be Delightful
Depending on where you live you may see a lot of ice in your community. The wintery scenes we are seeing all over the internet made us pause for a moment to see just how wonderful a winter wonderland can look. Being purveryors of custom wood signs we took a look at how our wood signs stood up to the icy elements over the last few days.
Here’s a close up look at our address sign.
As you can see it the ice ads an extra layer of texture to our dimensional letters on the wood sign. Once the ice is melted the sign will still be in great condition, as it was given an outdoor finish meant to stand up to changing weather conditions. Knowing what your custom sign will look in all kinds of weather is another way for your sign to stand out from its surroundings.
Glisten And Shine
Another outdoor finish the sign making experts here at The Sign Depot like to use is gold leaf. As you can see in the image below, the gold leaf finish on the sandblasted cedar sign still shines through despite the frost buildup and lack of sunshine.
Infact the layer of ice makes the gold leaf glisten. This sign has been outdoors for several years but is still in great shape. Custom cedar signs are made to withstand the elements and are a great choice if you are looking for a sign with longevity. Finding what works best for the conditions your sign will face is our specialty.
