Designing Metal Signs
We most commonly work with steel because we can powder coat it and protect it from weathering, but aluminum is also popular because it will not rust and is lighter than steel while also allowing to preserve the “glossy” or “brushed” metal finish. Businesses that want metal signs specifically, typically do not think they will need to upgrade their signage. They want a high-quality permanent signage solution that will require a little maintenance. Designing with metal signs offers a variety of design aesthetics, including brushed metal and mirrored metal.
Metal Sign Applications
- Channel Letter Signs – We make all channel letter signs with aluminum sides, called returns, and an aluminum backer. They are customizable, offered in assorted colors, sizes and installation possibilities depending on the property owner requirements.
- Exterior Signs – Dedico signs fabricates outdoor signs from metals like steel and aluminum because they can be powder coated for a long-lasting finish. They stand up better to weather conditions, such as prolonged sun exposure, wind, and rain.
- Address Signs – Address signs are usually metal cut-outs, but can also single metal letters mounted flush against a wall outside a building to identify suite numbers and address, especially in shopping centers.
- Light boxes – Like channel letter signs, light boxes use aluminum sides to hold together one or two sign faces, typically covered with vinyl to display a logo. Metal such as aluminum disperses heat more evenly, which helps the longevity of LEDs used in light boxes.
