Summer is peak season for construction, outdoor events, and retail refreshes, but it also brings the year’s harshest conditions for signage and graphics. From UV rays and
extreme heat to sudden storms, outdoor graphics face a gauntlet of durability challenges. Here’s how Priority Graphics helps you protect your investment (and your brand image) when temperatures rise.
Challenge #1: UV Rays Fade Colors
When exposed to intense sunlight and the accompanying UV rays, even the most vibrant colors can fade, dull, and even crack. Your signage risks looking weathered and worn-out before the season is over.
At Priority Graphics, we use UV-resistant inks and materials specifically designed to withstand prolonged sun exposure. This protects brand colors, preserves readability, and extends the life of your signage.
Challenge #2: Heat Can Warp, Bubble, or Fail Adhesives
Surface temperatures can soar above 140°F on dark materials or metal substrates. That kind of heat can degrade adhesives, bubble vinyl, or distort graphics, making your signage harder to read.
To minimize these risks, Priority Graphics recommends heat-stable substrates and high-performance adhesives rated for outdoor summer temperatures. Our expert installation team also ensures proper prep and installation techniques to avoid failure down the road.
Challenge #3: Storms and High Winds
Heat and sun aren’t the only weather worries this season. Summer storms bring wind, hail, and flying debris, all of which can tear, bend, or detach signage if it’s not properly secured.
Priority Graphics fabricates outdoor signs with reinforced grommets, brackets, and materials designed to withstand harsh weather all year round. Our professional install team secures every sign for real-world conditions, keeping your message clear come rain or shine.
Challenge #4: Managing Summer Crowds Around Construction Zones
More foot traffic in summer plus more active worksites means a higher risk of damage from people, machinery, or temporary setups. All that traffic also runs the risk of damaging your signage with wear and tear.
Our Priority Graphics team understands that durability isn’t just about weather. That’s why our outdoor graphics are scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and designed to look great even in high-contact environments. For even greater convenience, we work around construction schedules to avoid delays and damage during install.
