    How long will euroflute/correx last for outdoors?

    Will it be good for at least 12months?

    Thanks, Peter

    Thanks guys 😀

    So it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it should outlast a banner left up permenantly then?

    Also how does £194 for 4 off 8 by 4’s lettered up sound – reasonable I hope – supply only?

    Thanks, Pete

    I would say too cheap. I would be selling them for quite a bit more than that.

    4 correx sheets and approx 10m of vinyl ~ £200 – not enough IMHO

    Cost of materials alone is about a hundred quid after you’ve taken application tape etc into account.

    I’d have thought around £300 – £75 each would be more like it.

    On reflection I can see that I’m perhaps a little on the low side.

    Although I got materials to around £70 inc vat, doubled this up for my profit (running total £140ish) then 2 hours labour @ £25 making a grand total of £190 ish. If he wants delivery this will be a separate charge.

    It seemed fair while rushing the quote, but when you look at £50/per panel it seems low.

    Thanks everyone who chipped in, especially the funnies.
