Monument signs have long been a symbol of permanence and prestige, and the kind of craftsmanship that welcomes visitors with confidence and sets the tone for what’s inside. But what if you could achieve that same timeless appeal without the weight, cost, or upkeep of real stone?

At Loumarc Signs, we’ve mastered the art of creating EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam faux-stone monument signs that look indistinguishable from natural stone while offering exceptional durability and long-term value. Over the years, we’ve helped clients across industries, from residential developers to medical offices, achieve a high-end look built to last.

Durability Meets Design

Beneath the refined stone-like exterior lies a molded polystyrene core, engineered to resist weathering, cracking, and moisture damage. The hard coat shell adds another layer of protection, creating a structure that can withstand years of sun, rain, and seasonal temperature changes.

This makes them an ideal choice for properties that want to project longevity and sophistication without the upkeep that natural stone demands.
