Sandblasted signs: What they are and where to buy
Sandblasted signs feature beautiful, natural patterns in wood and are super stylistic sign options for Orlando, Winter Park and Florida businesses.
Sandblasting is a unique process that involves stripping and engraving wood with a high-pressure mix of air and sand to create a high-end, vintage aesthetic for your business. Sandblasted wood signs are typically made from clear grade lumber that is treated to prevent warping and checking. Only a few select boards make it through the intense kiln conditions used in this treatment process.
High-density urethane (HDU) is also a popular choice for sandblasted signs. HDU sandblasted signs can replicate wood grain and many other textures. For the best sandblasted signs in Orlando, partner with Envision Orlando.

FAQs
How long do sandblasted signs typically last?
Sandblasted signs usually last around 10-15 years, but they can last longer when properly maintained. The sign’s lifespan depends heavily on the material and environment where it’s installed. For instance, high-density urethane (HDU) is more weather-resistant than traditional wood. Regular servicing also ensures the sign maintains a professional appearance as it ages.
Are sandblasted signs weather-resistant?
We design sandblasted signs to be weather-resistant, using materials such as HDU, cedar, and redwood. They can handle UV exposure, rain, and high summer temperatures well with proper sealing and UV-resistant paint. HDU is especially resilient as it is moisture-resistant and doesn't warp. Wood signs, however, need high-quality paints or sealants to maintain their durability.
Can sandblasted signs be customized with logos and specific designs?
Yes, you can personalize sandblasted signs completely. You can incorporate intricate logos, designs, unique 3D effects, and patterns during the sandblasting process. Opt for recessed or raised letters and graphics, depending on your branding needs. You can even incorporate different shapes, colors, and finishes to ensure the sign matches your brand identity.
Are there any limitations to the size of sandblasted signs?
The size of sandblasted signs is limited by the material used and space available to install them. Wood, for example, is naturally strong but more susceptible to warping or splitting. On the other hand, HDU offers greater flexibility in size but may not be able to replicate the exact appearance you want.
Are sandblasted signs suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?
Sandblasted signs are ideal for indoor and outdoor use thanks to their customizability and durability. Outdoors, HDU and cedar can withstand harsh weather, providing long-term value. Indoors, their distinctive 3D look adds a contemporary, upscale touch to any space. To get the most value from your sign, work with expert designers.
