Cooley Weathertyte® Is ‘key’ To National Bank Image

Pawtucket, RI - Cooley Weathertyte Advanced Awning Substrate has been specified for use by KeyBank locations nationwide.

Brilliant Electric Sign Company, Ltd. fabricates the awnings. Daniel Mocny, Art Director for Brilliant Sign, had this to say about the decision to use Weathertyte, “We worked along with KeyBank in specifying the material. They wanted a red material that wouldn't fade and we suggested Weathertyte, as did an architect who was working on some of their buildings. In the past, we were told by KeyBank to stay away from red because they didn't like what happened to that color 2-3 years down the road.” Weathertyte’s UV resistant properties keep its color looking vibrant and carries an eight-year warranty.

Weathertyte, manufactured by Cooley Sign & Awning Products, is a technically advanced, totally waterproof awning material, which offers the look and feel of a woven fabric but has all the benefits of a high performance composite vinyl.

Brilliant Electric Sign Company, Ltd., established in 1929 and located in Cleveland, Ohio, is a full service manufacturer of custom fabricated signs, with full-scale service crews to handle all types of signage installations.

KeyCorp, based in Cleveland, Ohio, is one of the nation's largest bank-based financial services companies, with assets of approximately $100 billion.
