Proudly serving Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Garner, and Fuquay-Varina
If you’re a sign shop working with storefront clients in central North Carolina, or a small business owner ready to improve your exterior branding, your choice of vinyl matters. For storefronts exposed to sun, humidity, and changing weather, high-performance vinyl offers a long-lasting, cost-effective solution.
At Choice Sign Supply in Raleigh, we support sign professionals with the right materials for the job, including premium cast vinyl designed to stand up to the elements and maintain a clean, professional look.
What Is High-Performance Vinyl?
High-performance vinyl, also known as cast vinyl, is designed for durability and outdoor use. Unlike intermediate (calendered) vinyl, cast vinyl is formed using a casting process that reduces internal stress. The result is a flexible, stable film that offers:
-
Superior Conformability: Ideal for uneven or curved surfaces
-
Longer Lifespan: Resists shrinking, fading, and cracking
-
Cleaner Removal: Leaves less residue when replaced
Whether you’re wrapping windows, applying lettering to ACM panels, or updating a storefront fascia, high-performance vinyl ensures reliable performance.
Local Conditions Make a Difference
Here in the Raleigh area, weather plays a big role in signage performance. With hot summers, high UV exposure, and periods of rain and freezing temps, not every film can hold up. Cast vinyl is built for this environment:
-
UV Stability: Maintains color and adhesive strength in direct sunlight
-
Moisture Resistance: Holds up during humidity, rain, and temperature swings
-
Professional Finish: Maintains a sharp look for businesses in busy areas like downtown Raleigh, Crossroads Plaza in Cary, or Main Street in Fuquay-Varina
If your customer is investing in signage that needs to last 5+ years, high-performance vinyl is the right choice.
What to Look for in Storefront Vinyl
For long-term storefront use, we recommend vinyl that is:
-
Rated for outdoor durability (5 to 8+ years)
-
Compatible with your substrate (glass, metal, plastic, painted surfaces)
-
Available in multiple finishes: gloss, matte, or specialty textures
-
Printable or color-matched as needed
And as always, proper surface prep is essential. Dirt, grease, or peeling paint can shorten the lifespan of even the best vinyl.
