Uwharrie Point Country Cub Main Entrance
This PVC Monument Sign was originally made from Redwood
and after approx 25 years it had rotted. The board of
the residents association were very keen to keep the
original appearance exactly the same as the original but
they wanted it to be from a material that wouldn't rot.
We still had the original architects drawings, so we set
about converting the plans into a computer file
engineered to be made from PVC and aluminum but to look
exactly like the original. Every piece of coving and
molding was made in house, and then assembled in three
pieces which were transported to the site where it was
assembled. The whole monument sign was painted with six
coats of a high quality Benjamin Moore latex paint ( it
lasts longer on PVC than paints costing over $100 .00
more. Then apart from the center panel all of the
monument was painted once more by brush and as it was
drying the brushes were dragged carefully along the
length of each section creating a wood grain effect;
thus removing any appearance of the sign looking
plasticy.
