Color that lasts. Graphics that deliver. Keep your brand looking bold long after ordinary graphics fade. ColorArmor® is an engineered print-and-protect system that turns printed signs and graphics into durable, weather-ready assets built for years of outdoor exposure. From outdoor banners and fleet graphics to out-of-home advertising and retail displays, Britten produces ColorArmor® graphics that hold their pigment, with color performance backed by a 7-year warranty for mesh, and a 10-year warranty for vinyl.
ColorArmor® is a multi-layer print technology that protects graphics from the inside out instead of relying on a thin surface coating. Standard outdoor prints typically begin to fade within 12 to 18 months as UV light breaks down ink pigments and surface clearcoats crack or peel. ColorArmor® solves this by driving solvent-based inks into a technical textile substrate, then sealing the print beneath a flexible, UV-blocking 2K clearcoat. The result is a single fused composite that keeps custom graphics vibrant for the long haul, with color performance backed by an up to 10-year warranty.
Britten combines engineered materials with specialized print processes to create signs and graphics that are visually striking, built to last, and ready for real-world conditions.
The most effective outdoor graphics are the ones that keep performing long after installation. Britten helps brands, sign producers, and fleet operators reduce replacement costs and protect brand consistency with graphics engineered for long-term outdoor performance. Whether you’re outfitting a fleet with truck curtain graphics, launching a long-running out-of-home campaign, or installing outdoor banners and retail signage that face constant sun and weather, ColorArmor® keeps your message clear and your colors true.
Proven durability matters. In one fleet program, more than 200 printed truck curtains remained in excellent condition after over seven years on the road, with no fading, no delamination, and no replacement costs. By pairing ColorArmor® technology with Britten’s in-house printing, fabrication, and installation capabilities, we deliver signs and graphics that not only grab attention on day one, but look just as good years down the road.
Concourse wraps, tunnel graphics, and fascia that hold their color through years of sun, weather, and game-day crowds, backed by an up to 10-year warranty.
Large-format building wraps on PVC-coated mesh that resist UV fading and weather for years, so your facade message doesn’t go dull mid-campaign.
Paint, marker, and grime sit on top of the 2K clearcoat, not in your print. Wash it off and the pigment underneath stays put. No reprint, no reinstall.
What specifications should exterior vinyl banners have?
Look for a PVC-coated substrate, ink anchored into the material, and a UV-blocking clearcoat that won’t crack or peel. ColorArmor® vinyl meets all three, with ISO-tested color-fastness and a 10-year color warranty.
How do you choose the right size for a large building banner?
Size the banner to the usable wall area and viewing distance, using about 1 inch of letter height per 10 feet of distance. For sizing and design guidance, our team has the capabilities to support your project through the entire production process.
When should you use a double-sided outdoor banner?
Use a double-sided banner when it will be seen from both directions, such as hanging perpendicular to a building or between poles. Solid vinyl is typically the better choice, since mesh perforations can let one side show through the other.
What mounting hardware is needed for exterior building banners?
Common options include grommeted hems, pole pockets, cable or tension systems, and building-anchored frames, depending on size and structure. ColorArmor®’s flexible clearcoat resists cracking at hems and attachment points.
How do wind loading and structural attachment affect banner installation?
Wind pressure transfers through the attachment points into the building, which determines hardware ratings, attachment spacing, and whether the structure can support the load. Britten's engineering and installation teams can recommend which system will work best for your application.
