Custom Wood Signs

Change Your Mind? Change Your Metal Sign!

The real estate industry is one in which it is not uncommon for agents to switch companies. And along with a change in your company comes changes in other details, such as office location, business cards, and real estate metal signs. Such change sounds complicated and expensive, right? Well, don’t ask me to move your office furniture for you, but your real estate signs are no problem whatsoever!

Custom metal signs are simple and inexpensive to purchase and even change. So whether you’ve switched companies, careers, or even just tastes, let sign experts such as the ones in our shop take care of the details of your new metal signs!

Though You Have Changed, The Cost Of Metal Signs Has Not

Aluminum is a nearly perfect metal for sign making. Its naturally smooth surface combined with its structural endurance and protective, non-rusting coat of aluminum oxide make it a popular material for creating beautiful, high quality custom signs. Such a valuable material sounds expensive, doesn’t it?

Surprisingly, aluminum is inexpensive, partly because it is readily available as one of earth’s most abundant elements. The availability of aluminum plus its high demand as a building material have helped to keep the costs of this wonder material down over the years.

So whether you’re ordering small custom metal signs for your real estate business or large, heavy aluminum-based signs such as Alumalite for your building’s entrance, metal signs are a worthy long term investment.

Watch Your metal Signs Grow Along With Your Business

You have a garage stocked with several small signs made of aluminum sheeting. Now, you’re going out on your own and need a custom metal sign to introduce the public to your business. You’re going to need a bigger custom metal sign!

Small metal signs such as real estate signs are simply made of aluminum sheeting of a .040″ grade thickness. These metal signs are lightweight and endure the outdoor elements for the duration. However, for larger metal signs, sign shops such as ours offer thicker gauge aluminum from .063″ up to .080″. These larger custom metal signs do not stand alone like real estate signs but are generally mounted on flat surfaces with screws. The thickness of the material, which is still relatively thin, prevents the metal signs from bending and warping.

For even larger custom metal signs such as ones that are hung between two posts or mounted on top of a building, there are a few aluminum-based materials to choose from.

First, ARMOUR-Wood is the strongest of these aluminum-based signs. Made of a solid 1/2″ piece of plywood sandwiched between two bonded sheets of aluminum sheeting, ARMOUR-Wood is built for the long haul and can withstand almost all weather conditions.

Secondly, Alumalite, an aluminum composite material, is nearly as strong as ARMOUR-Wood, though somewhat lighter in weight. Alumalite is a very popular material for custom metal signs due to its affordability and durability.

Finally, Dibond is constructed the same way as ARMOUR-Wood, though it is the least strong of these aluminum-based custom signs. Dibond is still ten times stronger than aluminum sheeting, however, and though a little flexible, will still serve you well.

If you have questions concerning which type of custom metal sign you need, just consult a sign expert such as the ones who have been in our shop for over twenty years!

My Metal Sign Is Still Great, But I Want To Change My Image!

Graphics are simple to apply to any type of metal sign. Thinner aluminum sheeting, such as .040″ which is used for real estate signs, comes from the factory in a variety of background colors. However, should you need thicker aluminum, then adhesive vinyl in almost any color imaginable can be applied to your custom metal sign or your business metal signage can be spray painted or powder coated.

For the large aluminum-based signs, many colors are also available from the manufacturer. And for the graphics and lettering you want on your custom metal sign, digital printing allows any image to be printed onto adhesive vinyl and then placed onto your sign for a high resolution, professional appearance.

And when your business changes or you get bored with your metal sign? Expect your custom metal sign to last longer than your tastes, and when you’re ready for a change in your ARMOUR-Wood, Alumalite, or Dibond signs, all we have to do is strip the old vinyl lettering and replace it with your new ideas! All of our signs are fade resistant and will not leave a trace of your old graphics.

And, of course, smaller custom metal signs such as real estate signs are so inexpensive that replacing them for your new company logo or business name will barely make a dent in your advertising budget!

For Any Reason, Custom Metal Signs Are Worth The Change!

So the next time you need to change your business or even just your image, go with a custom metal sign. It will be the easiest change you ever make!

House signs are made in a range of materials such as Stone, Cast metal, Ceramic, Acrylic, Resin and Wood. The wording is made up by sign writing in paint, vinyl letters, engraving or casting. Many small businesses from around the country compete for your custom. Enter a search in the Google Search engine to find a supplier of quality house signs.

Stone signs, having already been around for half a billion years, stone signs are hard to beat for durability. The most commonly used types of rock are slate. marble and  granite,  Marble and Granite can look quite elegant, but do not have much scope for artwork beyond simple line drawings. Any sculpture in these signs would be extremely costly. Slate has its own distinctive appearance which is also popular despite being again not suitable for sculpture. If gilding is desired, these signs should be hand carved for maximum effect. Sand-blasting, though less expensive, creates a rounded groove. These days the lettering is often Engraved.

Cast metal signs are usually made of aluminium, iron, or brass. The unique cast look can be quite appealing but these signs are not long-lasting. Brass tends to tarnish and corrode after a few years, as does Iron. Also, artwork on these signs is generally restricted to a motif chosen from a gallery. Although poorly suited for custom decoration since individual artwork would require a custom mould, these signs do remain popular due to their traditional appearance.

Ceramic signs give a very traditional feel, though there is little scope for carving or sculpting, hence they can look a little flat. These signs tend to last very well once mounted. Care must be taken not to crack the sign in the mounting process, or by dropping it prior to mounting.

Acrylic Signs, are used where a more modern look is desired. Acrylic Signs similar to those made of stainless steel or brass can be used where a more modern look is desired. Acrylic signs are best suited for business applications, but can also be used for house signs. Light and durable, will generally last many years when exposed to the elements. The lettering can be engraved with a computer CNC machine. Vinyl lettering is also popular. The lettering can also be printed on.

Carved signs are traditionally made of wood, these signs allow for the most creativity in terms of painting and sculpture. Western red cedar is most common, although cherry and oak are also used along with a range of darker tropical woods. Wood requires regular maintenance and repeated coats of varnish or paint. More recently developed synthetic materials, notably high-density urethane (HDU), have been extremely successful, allowing the same quality and craftsmanship coupled with a much greater weather resistance.
