Metal Signage FAQ

How durable are metal signs?

Indoor metal signs can last almost indefinitely, but outdoor durability depends on the environment. Near the ocean, signs may tarnish due to salt in the air, so we recommend applying a protective coating to prevent fading. Moisture levels also impact the appearance and longevity of outdoor metal signs.

Are metal signs expensive?

Metal signage is indeed a premium choice, albeit more expensive than plastic or PVC alternatives. The decision ultimately hinges on your budget and desired aesthetic. Real metal exudes a distinct appearance unmatched by other materials. While the type of metal selected influences costs, custom aluminum signs typically offer a more cost-effective option. At our company, we cater to clients with diverse budgets, and if feasible, we strive to accommodate requests for authentic metal signage.

How thick should my metal sign be?

The thickness of metal signage impacts both its cost and installation method due to its weight. Lightweight materials like thin aluminum can be affixed with strong double-sided tape, whereas heavier and thicker materials like steel necessitate mounting with pins and other hardware, requiring drilled holes in walls. To determine the appropriate thickness and installation method for your needs, we recommend consulting our sign specialists for personalized guidance.

Are there any substitutes for metal signs?

While metal signage may not always be feasible, there are alternative options to achieve a similar aesthetic. Painting acrylic or PVC in metallic colors such as silver or gold provides a cost-effective solution. Another approach is using metal laminate, a thin layer of metal that can be adhered to a base layer like foam or acrylic. The face closely resembles real metal, although the sides may require painting for consistency. However, it’s worth noting that laminated faces may pose a risk of peeling over time.
