Often we find ourselves celebrating our signage with ease, but one material that is lacking a special mention is metal. Metal house signs, business signage (and even memorials) have many impressive, stand-out qualities that we wanted to draw your attention to in this week's blog, just in case a metal sign is, in fact, the perfect choice for you!
Why Choose A Metal Sign?
While we endeavour to ensure that all of our signs have a longevity about them, unlike other materials, metal is both hard-wearing and low maintenance. With many finishes to choose from in amongst our range of metal signs and memorials, metal has a flexibility that allows us as craftspeople to craft some phenomenally unique pieces. Many of our metal signs can feature your own computer graphics or hand painted images, giving a metal sign or memorial that personal touch you may be looking for. Several pieces from our metal range also feature in our ‘value-for-money’ signage category, so you can design a sign that embraces all of this while being mindful of a budget.
Value For Money Metal Signs
While some might expect that ‘value-for-money’ parallels with lower quality, at The Sign Maker this is not the case. All of our signs and memorials receive the very best care that we can give them and we always strive to ensure that your sign will last for as long as possible in its tip-top condition.
Our Aluminium Composite house signs specifically have been well received by each customer we have crafted for. Designed with tough, long-lasting vinyl lettering and available in a great range of colours too, our aluminium composite signs are the definition of good value metal signage! One thing you'll also be pleased to know is that these signs require minimal maintenance, so they might be ideal for a business sign too.
Cast Metal House Signage and Nameplates
Cast metal is the ideal metal sign choice if you're looking for a sign to last a lifetime. At The Sign Maker, we craft three different types of cast metal signage: cast brass (featuring different coloured backgrounds), cast aluminium (traditionally designed with a black background and white lettering) and lastly our cast bronze signs (ideal for a timeless house sign or memorial plaque).
In addition to this range of metal cast signs, we can also craft cast signage from Polyurethane which has been known to produce some excellent results (specifically for modern painted house signs). The distinct difference between signage crafted with polyurethane as opposed to metal is that the lettering and design come out sharper and crisper than can be achieve with cast metal - allowing capacity for more intricate designs.
Engraved Metal Signs and Memorials
Generally brass is the material associated with engraving given it's traditional history. While brass is a material that we enjoy working with, it's need for regular polishing can be less convenient for a sign or memorial (apart from for those who find that process enjoyable). At The Sign Maker, we utilise many different materials for our engraved signs and memorials to give you the opportunity to find something that truly works for you. From steel and aluminium to alternatives to metal such as PaperStone and Stone-Like-Corian, we hope you'll find a great fit for an engraved sign (regardless of whether or not you choose metal)!
Metal Signs with Design Flair
Sometimes, when individuals want signage that really stands out, we'll recommend metal because of the wide variety of finishes that we can achieve with this material. If you're looking for a sign with a bit of design flair, then metal can be a vibrant choice for a sign. Our extensive range of metal signs is home to our popular range of French styled name plates, tough print metal signs, our unique bespoke embossed and enamelled signs, and so much more!
