When Flexible Faces Flex Too Much

Best Time to Install Large Flex Faces
Loose Clips Sink Ships
I notice them often as I drive by retail stores.
Signs with saggy faces.
They don’t help Virginia retail marketing directors put their best foot forward, almost looking like old outdoor grill covers after you’ve left them on the ground too long between grill outs.
Maybe you have a custom electric sign cabinet that has one…a flexible face that has lost its tension.
Flexible faces are smart choices for large electric cabinet signs where rigid faces don’t make the best sense due to the potential for blow outs and damage from high winds. The faces are made of flexible fabrics with the graphics printed on them and are basically stretched over the sign cabinet’s frame on both sides of a metal box with lighting in it. The faces are translucent and do a great job of diffusing internal lighting casting an evenly bright and visible sign image at night.
Tension Headaches
The problem is that over time, just like pegs on a stringed instrument, the clips can lose tightness and allow the faces to sag. This causes a negative graphic image and should be repaired as soon as possible. On large sign applications (signs larger than 10′ tall or 24′ wide for instance) re-tensioning may become necessary for faces installed during cold weather. To prolong the need for re-tensioning, avoid installations in temperatures under 45 degrees F.
Flexible sign faces should be cleaned on an annual basis to keep the brand bright at night and to maximize the dirt resistant properties of the material.
