What Are Brushed Aluminum Signs?

Brushed aluminum signs, the ultimate in durability and aesthetics, are made by printing any image, graphic, or design directly onto a 3mm brushed aluminum e-panel material. This material has a brushed face and is composed of two sheets of aluminum with a reinforced polyethylene core. This makeup allows for maximum durability while providing the appearance of stainless steel at a fraction of the price.

Designed for both internal and external use, brushed aluminum signs are commonly used to display business names, logos, suite numbers, titles, and general information. They are great for lobby and receptionist areas, stores, waiting rooms, internal offices, hallways, bathrooms, and more. Brushed aluminum signs are also popular as restroom, exit, handicap, and maximum occupancy signs. Templates for these types of signs and more are available in the popular templates section below.

Installation
The most common method of mounting our brushed aluminum signs is to a rigid surface using standoffs. After measuring and marking the location where the sign will be hung you can use the standoffs package (must be ordered as an option) to mount your metal sign. Note, for some rigid surfaces a pilot hole may be needed before continuing installation of your sign. Simply put your anchor inside of the standoff tube and then drill the screw and tube into the wall through the drilled holes on the sign itself. The final step is to screw on the caps of the standoffs by hand. To install your sign this way you’ll need a measuring tape, a level, and drill. We also recommend selecting the “Drilled Holes” option unless you plan to drill your own holes in the sign. Other methods of installation include 3M command strips, adhesive velcro, double sided tape, or washers and screws.

Care
The best way to take care of your custom brushed aluminum sign is to post it in a place that will avoid scratches that are either intentional or accidental. Beyond this, regularly clean the sign using a damp non-abrasive cloth. This will ensure that it remains vibrant for years to come. If storage is necessary, store the your sign at room temperature in a dry location. Your brushed metal sign should also be covered with a non-abrasive material to avoid being scratched while stored. If your brushed aluminum sign has the protective laminate, we recommend using a clean cloth and a citrus-based cleaner or cleaning mix of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water.

Q:
Why is shipping more expensive for larger brushed aluminum signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

We offer free shipping on all orders over $99 except for rigid signs whose dimensions are over 36” because signs this big require freight shipping.

Q:
Can I drill my own holes in the brushed aluminum signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes, but we highly recommend selecting the Drilled Holes option to ensure a perfect fit with the standoffs. It is also very reasonably priced and saves you time!

Q:
I need holes in different or additional locations than the 4 corners. Is this possible?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Our drilled holes are by default placed 1” from each corner and are either 3/8" or 1/4" in diameter. If you need different hole locations than what we offer, select the “Custom” option within the “Drilled Holes” dropdown. You can then specify this customization in the comment field on the checkout page. Additional charges do apply to signs with custom drilled holes.

Q:
What sizes do you offer for the brushed aluminum? Are there any size restrictions?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

We do accept custom size requests in addition to our standard sizes (8” x 8”, 10” x 10”, 12” x 12”, 24” x 18”, 4’ x 2’). Please note that smallest sign we can do is 4” x 4”, and the biggest sign we can print is 48” x 94”.

Q:
What is the estimated lifespan of brushed aluminum signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

With proper care and placement, your sign should last at a minimum of 3-5 years. This estimated lifespan can vary depending on the type and location of usage. For example, outdoor usage with constant exposure to a harsh climate may result in a shorter lifespan than a sign that is placed indoors and in a location that will not be inadvertently scratched or damaged. You can also extend the lifespan of your sign and protect it from the elements by having it coated with our glossy protective laminate.

Q:
My design is extremely detailed/complicated. Does this mean it will cost me more?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

We offer free design services with up to three revisions. We are also usually able to accommodate design requests at no added cost. Feel free to contact us to discuss your design needs.

Q:
Will using more than two colors in my design cost me more money?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Much like our free design services, the number of colors included in your design will not impact cost since we print everything in full color. The only time color may impact the price of your sign is when color matching is requested. In this case, there is a $100 charge per color, per material. If you want to color match, please give us a call at 888-222-4929.

Q:
Should I be concerned about the sharp edges of the signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The sharp edges on these signs can pose a safety issue if it’s not handled properly. If your sign is going to be placed in a location that prevents this, then you have nothing to worry about other than handling the sign with care during installation. Alternatively, we offer a "Rounded Corners" option in which we'll cut the corners at either a 1/4" or 1" radius to eliminate the dangerous corners and provide a clean look to your sign. This is an affordable option that can be selected on the design tool.

Q:
Can you print my brushed aluminum sign on both sides?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

While our standard aluminum signs can be printed on both sides, the brushed aluminum signs are only single-sided.

Q:
Do you have engraving services for brushed aluminum signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

We do not offer any custom engraving of the sign at this time.
