What are pylon signs

Pylon signs, also known as pole or freestanding signs, are well known in the sign industry. Simply put, pylon signs are outdoor signage that is usually mounted on single or double poles. Pylon signs can be one-sided or double-sided, depending on the direction the sign will be facing. You may also see pylon signs that are illuminated or have other elements, like LED message center.
A single business will often have pylon signs that feature a single lightbox with the company’s name and brand logo on display. Pylon signs that are found at shopping centers or malls will have several lightboxes built into the sign, and the base is often similar to the overall architecture of the plaza. These signs might have brick, stone, or metal elements

Now, what about monument signs? Are those the same as pylon signs? The simple answer is no. Pylon signs and monument signs can be made into a hybrid, but they are not the same.Monument signs are generally no taller than a grown adult, topping at around five foot tall. Meanwhile, pylon signs tower above everything else.

What makes a pylon sign
Whenever a pylon sign is fabricated, it is constructed to the highest standards in the industry, especially if you choose Tupp Signs. To increase the durability and strength of the sign, most parts are made with aluminum coverings that are welded to a steel frame. Larger sections of metal are reinforced to prevent any oil-canning—also known as the uneven flow of metal on the surface of thin gauge metal product. This ensures your sign looks amazing for many years.

Furthermore, the structural steel within the sign is painted separately from the skins to prevent the occurrence of rusting later on. Pylon signs can also be constructed with real or artificial masonry elements, such as brick, stucco, stone, and more.

The graphics on the acrylic or polycarbonate faces of the signs are usually computer generated to increase the precision and appeal. The plastics used are highly UV-resistant so the color doesn’t fade. Additionally, you can expect the sign faces to remain clean and use technologies that make them shine brighter and longer and more efficiently throughout the days.
