More Types of Aluminum Signs
We offer four additional types of aluminum signs. In addition to our standard option, we have brushed, Dibond, reflective aluminum signs and metal photo prints. Learn about their differences and where they are best featured to optimize your investment.
Brushed aluminum signs appeal due to their matte finish and distinct, brushed texture. They're heavily featured in lobbies, reception areas, and for office wayfinding. You can also find them in law firms and boutique hotels.
Dibond signs are made with two metal layers sandwiching a rigid core. They are ideal for storefronts and construction zones. They are also often displayed at trade shows or in hospitals and corporate parks.
Reflective aluminum signs are coated with reflective vinyl that shines when exposed to light. These signs are essential for traffic control, parking lots, and ensuring safety and compliance. They're helpful in low-light conditions where legibility is needed.
Metal photo prints are designed to personalize spaces. This is usually achieved by displaying landscape or portrait photography. They're often found in modern environments like a home office or galleries.

Double-sided aluminum signs can help you get even more visibility. They will help you communicate your message effectively. You can print either the same or a different design with this option.

Care
Keeping your decorative and business aluminum signs clean will ensure they last longer and maintain their vibrancy. Wipe it clean once a week with a dry, non-abrasive cloth to remove any dust.
If your sign comes with a protective laminate, then the procedure is a little different. Use a non-abrasive cloth, but apply a cleaning solution to it. We recommend a citrus cleaner or rubbing alcohol.
If you ever want to pack up your sign and store it, place it in a closed box, in a dark, dry place, and avoid placing other heavier objects on it.
