Are you worried about premature deterioration or rot ruining your signage?

Getting stuck with the wrong type of aluminum for an outdoor aluminum metal sign is a disaster waiting to happen.

A growing number of consumers have concerns about using wood as a component in the raw materials used for their sign. As a direct result, metal sign background materials like Alumalite and Aluma-Plastic are in high demand.

Alumalite is a strong, aluminum composite metal sign panel with a high density, copolymer corrugated plastic core. Similar in construction to Aluma-Plastic, Alumalite has two factory-painted sheets of aluminum permanently bonded to both sides of a corrugated plastic core, sandwiching the plastic panel in between.

It’s this plastic corrugated core that gives the Alumalite metal sign panel it’s strength and rigidity. When using a ½” thick Alumalite, the panel strength is virtually the same as Aluma-Wood (¼” thickness is standard though). Alumalite metal signs have become a popular alternative to wood painted signs for it’s durable, lightweight properties.

Applications

Alumalite metal signs are also the perfect solution when the panel weight must remain low while retaining excellent rigidity. The relatively light weight of Alumalite makes it an excellent choice when mounting considerations or mobility prohibit the weight of heavier wood core sign panels.

At first I thought that I would never be able to decide which material to go with but then I called and Mark helped me choose which one was best for me.

I did not know that there were so many different types of sign materials

Thank you so much for all your helpful information.

Thank you so much.

Untill next time,

Alumalite Finishing

To create a finished appearance, the edges of the Alumalite metal sign material can be capped with either white or black plastic trim. Edge capping enhances the appearance of Alumalite by making it look like a solid aluminum sheet.

Alumalite Life Span

The painted Alumalite metal sign finish has a 10 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty against cracking, flaking or peeling. Alumalite will usually outlast the vinyl lettering that is put on them. Intermediate vinyl lettering is intended for short term outdoor signs and is rated for 3-5 years. Our High Performance Vinyl Graphics will last 7-10 years outdoors, even under extreme environmental conditions.

Alumalite Colors

White, Black, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Almond and Bronze. The fade resistant surface of Alumalite makes vinyl re-lettering simple. You can change the lettering again and again with minimal or no “ghosting” at all (ghosting is seeing the faint images of vinyl lettering that has been removed).

Caution:

During handling & installation, extreme care must be exercised. The painted metal sign finish is not as scratch resistant as you might think. Although Alumalite is highly weather and fade resistant, the paint can be easily scratched if you’re not careful.

When cleaning the surface, only use a mild soapy water solution and the softest cloth you can find. Don’t use dry paper towels as they can put extremely fine scratches in the paint which may be visible up close.

Please Note:

When mounting Alumalite signs with screws or bolts, the corrugated plastic core can compress because it’s hollow. When you attach the sign, TIGHTEN THE SCREW BY HAND. When the screw head is flush with the sign panel, STOP! Continuing to tighten the screw will permanently damage the panel by compressing or squeezing the material together.

If you screw the Alumalite metal sign too tightly, this will create a circular shaped “ding” around the screw head and it will never come out.

Are Custom Alumalite Signs Suitable For Installation Between Two Posts?

While you can install larger Alumalite signs (like 6', 8' or 10' long) on or between posts, you have better options to choose from:

Aluma-Wood is the strongest and most rigid exterior grade sign panel available with it’s dense, ½ inch thick solid wood core
Alumalite (½” thickness) has almost the same panel strength as Aluma-Wood making it a popular choice for larger signs. ½” Alumalite is the 2nd strongest sign material
Alumalite (¼” thickness) is still a strong, highly rigid background material and has the 3rd highest panel strength
Aluma-Plastic sign panels have 10 times more strength than .040” aluminum sheets. Aluma-Plastic is not quite as stiff as Alumalite, but is still considered a rigid sign material making it #4 in strength

On a scale of 1 to 10, with “10” having the highest relative strength, here’s how each aluminum sign background material compares to one another:

When you need a more rigid sign panel in a color other than white, you have three great options to choose from:

Unpainted Alumalite panels can be completely covered with self-adhesive vinyl at our shop in your choice of any color.
We can spray paint or powder coat Alumalite sheets any custom color you choose.
You can choose another rigid composite aluminum sign material that has a broader range of factory painted colors available such as Aluma-Plastic, Aluminum & Aluma-Wood.*

Usually, *Option #3 is not only the best choice, it's the most cost effective (but not always). For example, if you are looking for a gold metallic background color for a 2' x 3' x ½” Alumalite metal sign, the most cost effective solution would be to simply cover the Alumalite sign panel with gold metallic vinyl. It's fast, it's easy and highly durable.

Setting up to paint such a small sheet from stock or having to buy a whole 4' x 8' sheet just to get a small section of a special color isn't always practical. We'll gladly provide you with the best option to suit your individual needs at the time of your order.
