Pros And Cons Of Using A Wire Mesh Panel For Signage

Signage is a critical part of any business or establishment. It helps visitors discern the façade of a structure and attract more attention. While there are numerous material options for signage, wire mesh remains one of the best. To elaborate further, here is a definition of wire mesh signage, and its advantages and disadvantages so store owners can make an informed decision.

What Is A Signage Wire Mesh Panel?

A signage made of a wire mesh panel comprises a series of metallic wires, typically stainless steel, which are woven together in a grid-like pattern. These individual panels are then assembled together to serve as a signage for a structure. Apart from this basic structure, factors like colour, letter size and mounting configurations are also taken into consideration.

Pros Of Wire Mesh Panel

Directly Apply Paint

A typical signage has numerous layers or signage packages that need to be applied before it can be painted over. However, with a wire mesh panel, this step is eliminated entirely, and one can directly paint the mesh. Consequently, this reduces the weight of the entire signage.

Cost Effective

A wire mesh panel is complete on its own and doesn’t require extra mounting hardware and accessories. This makes it more cost-effective during installation. Moreover, due to the durable nature of steel mesh, the signage can withstand extreme weather conditions for decades before requiring a replacement. Hence, this durability makes it even more economical in the long run.

Unobstructed View

Due to the open area in the wire mesh panel, it offers adequate ventilation and a view for people inside the building. 

Cons Of Wire Mesh Panel

Difficult To Change

Due to its durable nature, if the logo or lettering is to be removed, then the entire panel needs to be removed, making the process expensive.
