Abstract:

The 2004/05 hurricane seasons caused extensive sign damage warranting a more in-depth look at how signage is installed. Signs blown out during hurricanes become part of the debris field causing extensive damage. The Trim Tuff Anchor will extend the life of signage enabling businesses to save money, operate at maximum capacity, fueling the economy. The Trim Tuff Anchor will help eliminate insurance claims.The trim on plastic face signage deteriorates in sun and blows off during windstorms destroying signage and more in the area. The aluminum Trim Tuff Anchor will help to eliminate this problem, strategically placed around the signage they will hold the trim in place, therefore, holding the signage in place.The Trim Tuff Anchor is inexpensive and necessary. It is recognized that there is a lack of direct provisions for signage. Using wind-load calculations, the Trim Tuff Anchor is a step in the right direction.
