Picture this...7'ft tall x 32'long stone wall with a 48"x120" recessed sign area. Architect would like a nice material to fit in that area with a raised dimensional letter stud mounted to it. Considered sign foam as the background but would have to seam two pieces 4'x8' and 4'x2' together. My question does HDU shrink after a while. Might just back the thing with plywood to reinforce the stud mounted letters. Will be using CNC cut HDU for the raised text. Or will be using Gemini letters. Should I use SignPrime to fill in the seam....thanks

Since it is a stone wall, why not colored stucco?

Won't shrink, peel, chip or rot!

I would think limestone tiles with bullnosed areas where it returns in, with real solid aluminum or brushed stainless letters stud mounted to it.

There's a pretty cool sign in my neighborhood in a recessed area of a wall that is curved.

It's pollished granite tiles with the copy sandblasted in.

Very elegant.
