What are Metal Signs?Metal is a great and versatile material for signs. Whether you need an inexpensive and lightweight sign for informational purposes or a large and impressive sign for promotional purposes, a metal sign can do the job.
Metal signs can be used inside but they’re much more common outside. Use a metal sign to identify and promote your Meridian business or to provide parking or safety information outside of your Caldwell business. A baked enamel finish helps to weatherproof metal signs so that they can withstand the sometimes-harsh elements here in Meridian.
Because it is inexpensive and lightweight, aluminum is a great material for functional, informational signs. Brass and copper are great choices for door signs, entrance/exit signs, or to be used on monument signs. Stainless steel is often preferred for large-scale business signage.

Metal signs are a great way to get your message out there. They are durable, weatherproof, and can be customized to fit your needs. But what type of metal is best for your sign? What gauge should you use? And how thick should it be? In this article, we will answer all your questions about metal signs.
There are a few different metals that can be used for signs, but the most common are aluminum and stainless steel. Aluminum is a lightweight metal that is easy to work with. It is also rust-resistant, making it a good choice for outdoor signs. Stainless steel is a stronger metal that is more difficult to work with. However, it is more durable and has a higher resistance to rusting and corrosion.
A metal sign board is a flat piece of metal that can be used for signs. It is typically made from aluminum or stainless steel. The board can be custom cut to any size or shape, making it a versatile material for signs.
The gauge of a metal sign refers to the thickness of the metal. The thicker the metal, the higher the gauge. Thicker metal is more durable and resistant to damage. However, it is also more difficult to work with and can be more expensive.
There are two types of aluminum that can be used for signs: anodized and painted. Anodized aluminum is a type of aluminum that has been treated to resist corrosion. It is a good choice for outdoor signs. Painted aluminum is a cheaper alternative to anodized aluminum. However, it is not as durable and is more susceptible to corrosion.
The cost of a metal sign depends on the size, shape, and design of the sign. Simple signs can start as low as $25 per sq. ft, while more complex signs can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. You can contact us for a free quote at any time.
Both stainless steel and aluminum have their advantages and disadvantages. It ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences. For instance, stainless steel is more durable and resistant to corrosion, while aluminum is lighter and easier to work with.
The thickness of a metal sign depends on the gauge of the metal. The higher the gauge, the thinner the metal. For most signs, a thickness of 16-18 gauge is sufficient.
To make a metal sign, you need a piece of metal (such as an aluminum or stainless-steel sheet), a cutting tool (such as a saw or router), and a way to attach the sign to a wall or surface (such as screws or nails). Our craftsmen have many years of experience fabricating custom metal signs.
