What is the difference between metal sign types?

There are four types of metal signs: aluminum, dibond, brushed, and reflective. Aluminum signs are durable, weather-resistant signs made from aluminum sheets. The distinctive feature of dibond lies in its composition. Dibond consists of two aluminum layers with a core between them. The brushed aluminum differs from the rest with its brushed finish that offers a refined look. Reflective aluminum, as the name suggests, reflects the light and is generally used for road and safety signage at night.
