Winter Signage Survival Guide

July 11, 2025

Keep your signs sharp, strong, and weather-proof this winter.

Tasmanian winters can be rough—rain, wind, frost, and colder temps can quietly break down even the toughest signage. But with regular care, your signs will stay bold and branded all season long.

🛠️ Quick Maintenance Checklist

✅ Clean Your Signs Monthly
Remove grime, salt spray, and bird droppings. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers.

✅ Inspect for Lifting Edges
Check corners and borders where vinyl might be peeling. Catch it early to prevent full detachment.

✅ Protect with UV Laminate
Ask if your sign has a UV laminate finish. If not, add one—it guards against moisture and fading.

✅ Avoid Cold Shock
Don’t blast signs with freezing water or let ice build up around frames and mounts. Gentle care wins.

✅ Treat Rust Promptly
Give metal brackets and screws a monthly check. Wipe them down and apply rust inhibitor if needed.

✅ Mind the Surroundings
Trim back winter growth near signs. Leaves, moisture, and debris can cause mould and damage.

💡 Todd Tips for Winter Wins

Take five minutes each month for a signage walk around—it saves headaches later.
Photograph any changes or damage to track deterioration.

Because signs don’t hibernate—and neither does your brand.
