If you own or manage an apartment building, cottage community, or condo development, you know how important signs are for everything from directing people to the management office to warning them that parking spaces are reserved and that you don’t allow trespassing or soliciting. Signs are just a necessary part of the property management business.
There are a myriad of different types of property management signage. Below are just a few examples:

Effective property management signs are important for several reasons:
Property signs can be made from tons of materials, including metal and acrylic, and they can be designed in any shape the client wants, such as rectangular, round, or triangular. Your signs can be made for permanent, seasonal, or one-time use. Our team is also capable of incorporating your existing branding (color, font, and style) into the signage.
At Windy City Signs & Graphics, our team will discuss your needs and wants to make sure we’re delivering on your image.

Acrylic signs are made of a transparent cast polymer. They look just like glass, but unlike glass are far more durable and resistant to shattering. Acrylic is also referred to by some proprietary trade names, including ‘Plexiglas,’ ‘plexiglass,’ and ‘perspex.’ Acrylic signage is popular with Chicago businesses because it looks premium at an affordable price.
Do you like elegant glass elements in a sign? That’s almost definitely acrylic you’re looking at. Unlike glass, acrylic is designed to handle the wear and tear of a commercial environment. It can be shaped easily, and it’s available in a wide range of colors.
Best of all, acrylic makes the sign look upscale while keeping the price affordable.
Absolutely, acrylic signs are the “unbreakable” versions of glass (not literally, but they’re really strong). We only source high-quality acrylic from suppliers like Uline, which ensures our signs look better and last longer.
There’s no time limit on how your acrylic will last! In fact, we’ve never heard from any customer that any of our acrylic signs broke or became disfigured through normal wear and tear. We recently got a request from a customer who wanted to take down their acrylic signs because they were shifting offices – after eight years!
Indoor acrylic signs can handle the occasional spill with no problem at all. Just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away the liquid gently. Be careful not to scratch the printed image. Outdoor signs with acrylic elements are designed to handle rainfall and snowfall. We use sealants to prevent water seepage from joints.
If you notice any water damage to your sign, contact us immediately.
Yes, acrylic is a popular glass replacement in outdoor signs. In fact, if you see a transparent fascia, you’re almost definitely looking at an acrylic panel, not glass. Acrylic is impact-resistant, durable, and waterproof. Our outdoor acrylic signs are treated with UV films to reduce the risk of discoloration because of direct sunlight.
Yes, untreated acrylic can turn yellow after prolonged exposure to artificial indoor lighting and sunlight. That’s why we use acrylic treated with an ultraviolet stabilizer that can prevent yellowing. In fact, our signs have been used for over a decade without any noticeable yellowing.
Be warned! Ammonia-based cleaners and alcohol-based sprays can damage the coating and cause it to discolor unevenly.
A small 8” x 3” sign can cost under $50, while a large indoor sign can cost over $1,000. Note that UV-resistant coatings, personalized shapes, and specialized mounting options can cost more. Price does not include shipping and installation.
