 Light Weight and Strong
Aluminum Signs
are the Answer to Rusted and Rotten Sign Panels
Light-weight yet strong, aluminum signs are one of the most durable sign materials available anywhere. When you are looking for a perfectly smooth, baked-on, high gloss painted finish, aluminum signs project a premium quality image.
One of the most common thicknesses for sign applications is .040" gauge aluminum. This thickness is ideal for standard, 18" x 24" real estate yard signs and is also the recommended thickness for 2' x 3' metal step-stake frames.
When attaching aluminum signs to buildings, use 040" gauge aluminum for signs in size up to 2' x 4'. Technically, you can use .040" gauge aluminum for sizes all the way up to 4' x 10' provided you mount the metal flat against a wall. The larger the panel size is, the greater the tendency to bend which can cause a large thin gauge aluminum sign to have a slightly wavy or rippled appearance when installed on a building, especially a corrugated metal building.
Therefore, when you want a bigger sign, we recommend increasingly thicker gauges of aluminum with the optimum heavy duty thickness being .080" gauge aluminum. Other thicknesses available include 063" medium duty thickness and .050" lighter duty material. On smaller size signs (up to 2' x 4') even a modest increase to .050" gauge aluminum substantially increases the stiffness and rigidity of the sign panel.
Aluminum .063" thick signs are best for hanging from a post such as 2' x 2' and 2' x 3' and .080" gauge aluminum works best for heavy duty applications such as 3'x 4' hanging signs, 3' x 3' Signs on a post or in a frame and larger signs.
In general, as you go larger in size, we recommend that you increase the thickness of the aluminum sign panel you purchase. When in doubt, better to go too thick than too thin because the heaviest .080" gauge aluminum we stock is still less than 1/8" thick.
Aluminum signs in .040" gauge are available in a variety of factory painted color finishes. Thicker gauges are only available in white. We routinely cover aluminum panels in premium vinyl and reflective vinyl to change the background color of the sign panel. No runs ... No Drips ... No Errors.
