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.

“I rarely leave reviews. I'll be honest, after reading some of the reviews for signs.com, I was nervous, but placed my order anyway. I am very pleased with my brushed aluminum sign. It is just as expected and was less than what I could find elsewhere. I wanted to leave my positive review for others like me.”

Q:
How do I store my signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Your signs can be stored in a dry location at room temperature. We would recommend placing a non-abrasive material in between signs if more than one will be stored. This way, the signs won’t scratch and damage each other while being stacked, moved, or removed from storage. This material will also help prevent scrapes or cuts if someone inadvertently rubs against the sign while being stored.

  1. The bleed should be 1/8".
  2. The resolution is at least 150 dpi.
  3. Colors are in CMYK

Q:
Are the brushed aluminum signs sealed in any way to protect from corrosion caused by moisture/humidity?
Asked 7 months ago by Sukhmani
A:

Our sign is ready for both indoor and outdoor use and is resistant to rust and fading from sunlight, rain, and other environmental factors. To add extra protection, you may choose to add a protective laminate. A glossy, protective laminate covering that will prolong the life and vibrancy of your sign. Protective lamination resists fading and scratches, is dry erase-ready, and is anti-graffiti.
