Extended Message Area
Changeable Letter Signs by Stewart Signs
Our Extended Message Area signs offer the maximum amount of space for your changeable message! Select from one of these models if you require longer messages or larger letter sizes.
Each sign comes standard with a locking vandal cover made of the same graffiti and UV resistant TUFFAK® SL found in our sign faces. These vandal covers prevent the theft of letters or rearrangement into inappropriate messages, all while protecting your sign from the elements. We stand behind each of our changeable letter signs with an outstanding warranty and superior customer support. The complete sign is UL Listed.
We've provided signs to thousands of organizations just like yours.
Locking Vandal Cover
Our vandal cover provides peace-of-mind that your message will be displayed correctly until you are ready to change it. With hinges at the top and locks across the bottom, the cover opens and stays at a full 90 degrees, allowing the message to be easily and safely changed. Rather than using gas struts which typically fail with repeated use, our signs use our Glide & Lock© system (when applicable) to hold the cover in place.
Covers are made from the same graffiti and vandal resistant TUFFAK® SL as the sign face. UV protection built into the material prevents yellowing and cracking common with standard polycarbonate and Plexiglas covers. Unlike sealed vandal cover systems, these covers allow air to circulate at strategic points along the letter tracking. This prevents condensation, mildew and mold from building up on the cover and hindering the readability of your message.
Letters & Tracking
Each changeable letter sign comes standard with a full set of letters, numbers and punctuation, as well as a storage case to house and organize them. Letters are injection molded with silk screened black characters. Designed specifically for changeable letter signs, our proprietary font is optimized for readability and maximum message length.
Unlike other institutional signage, the letter tracking on our signs is not glued to the sign face. Glues and other adhesives often fail or discolor with repeated exposure to sunlight. Instead, our tracking is riveted onto the face with white metal rivets; giving the sign a professional look that will last for many years. The white color ensures that the rivets cannot be seen at a distance.

Mounting Options
Our mounting options range from free-standing to wall and masonry mounted signs. Our most popular mount, the Pedestal, gives your sign a more substantial and professional appearance. Custom mountings and leg heights are available.
Decorative Trim
Add visual appeal to your sign cabinet with decorative trim! These three-dimensional pieces are constructed of welded aluminum with a powder-coat finish for superior weatherability. Custom trim options also available.
Powder-Coat Colors
Our sign cabinets and support structures undergo a rigorous powder-coating process with materials from TCI. Baked on using large industrial ovens, the coating creates a bond with the underlying aluminum. This chip, impact and graffiti-resistant material will stand up to the elements and keeps your sign looking great for years to come.
Custom colors are also available through a wet-paint process. Due to the limitations of displaying colors on a monitor, actual material colors may vary from images shown and are for example purposes only.
