Looking For High Strength Weather Proof Sign Backing Material?
Choosing the right materials for your outdoor sign can make an oustanding difference.
Advanced ARMOUR-Wood sign material has a solid plywood core permanently sealed with aluminum sheeting factory bonded to the surface. The thickness and density of this pre-finished aluminum metal sign board makes it one of the strongest panels in the sign industry with greater impact and wind resistance than Alumalite, Dibond or straight Aluminum.
The Aluminum metal sign panel is bonded to the plywood core and comes with a smooth finish. All edges are sealed with a plastic 1/2" cap which not only protects the product from moisture, but also creates a finished edge.
When using a contrasting color like black edge cap on a white sign, the black edge cap automatically serves as a decorative 1/2" border on the sign. If you don't want a border on your white sign, choose white trim cap instead so the trim cap will blend in with the sign.
Applications
When you need a sturdy, rigid sign panel designed to last for many years outdoors, Armour-Wood are ideally suited for permanent outdoor , construction site signs, real estate signs, wall mounted signs, post and panel signs, hanging and fence mount signs.
Finishing
To create a finished appearance, the edges of the Armour-Wood metal sign material can be capped with either white or black plastic trim. Edge capping enhances the appearance of Armour-Wood by making it look like a solid aluminum sheet.

We offer more colors for ARMOUR-Wood signs than anyone out there on the web!
You can now choose from ANY color under the sun when designing your new signage. You can even choose a reflective color!
If you would like a specialty metal finish such as brushed gold, mirror gold, brushed silver or mirror silver, they are available in our Dibond sign material, which is made up of two aluminum sheets on either side of a solid plastic core, or with standard aluminum signs.
Caution:
During handling and installation, extreme care must be exercised. The painted metal sign finish is not as scratch resistant as you might think. Although Armour-Wood 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:
The manufacturer of Armour-Wood has done an exceedingly poor job of letting sign companies know how important it is to seal the wood edges properly. While this may seem like common sense, the "fine print" on the manufacturer's website also warns that their "warranty is null and void if their product is not sealed with their proprietary sealer".
In order to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid, we only use the recommended sealer as a watertight moisture barrier. When combined with the plastic edge capping, Armour-Wood is guaranteed not to delaminate for five (5) full years!
Unfortunately, most sign companies are simply not aware of this warranty condition and fail to use the proper sealant which could lead to premature failure of their signs (and warranty), even though they use the same sign material!
