Alucabond Signage

Alucabond is a fantastic substraight which is widely used in architectural developements. There is a large colour selection available, to see the colour range feel free to take a look at this link by clicking here.

The alucalond is a strong ridget surface which is made up of a thin layer with a black rubber compound sandwiched between another layer.

It forms the perfect surface for signage application. A typical industrial sytle sign would be vinyl lettering onto the alucabond surface with a welded frame is the body of the sign.

Another widely used method would be using the alucabond as the surface and to create light boxes from the product by bending the alucabond by neatly cutting only one side of the surface thus allowing the flex of the material to create your box with a smooth surface finish.

The latest trend is to have raised perspex letters mounted in the routered sections of the alucabond. Thus the raised letters would be illuminated.

The alucabond can also act as a great surface to apply digital printed graphics onto.

Aluminium composite signs are the modern way to manufacture quality signs. With aluminium composite sign materials all kinds of stylish sign designs are possible- without the need for intrusive frameworks and casing being visible. Aluminium composite signs are made from a specially designed material which is lightweight, extremely strong and durable, but which does not expand/contract in variable temperatures. Additionally these signs can be produced to be illuminated using conventional computer controlled CNC routing processes to cut out letter shapes or logo designs. To finish the illuminated aluminium composite sign, if required, Perspex letters can be fabricated to fit over the cut out's in the aluminium composite sign panels.

Folded composite sign panels.

One of the prime advantages of aluminium composite signs is the capability of the material to be machined in such a way as to be folded into a sign tray shape. The aesthetic look of folded composite sign panels is very appealing as there are no visible frames or supporting caseworks to be seen. Aluminium signs have a number of very important advantages when compared to other, more traditional types of signage. Hence their suitability in the commercial and high street retail environments.

Strength - Metal based panels are much stronger than plastics- either PVC or perspex. As the panels are formed from a single piece of material there are no inherent weak spots to fail in the future.

Durability - This type of sign is VERY durable. Unlike systems which use plastic panels the sign it's self is very strong and will resist accidental and malicious damage.
Expansion - Plastic sign panels expand and contract in ambient temperatures. Aluminium signs are virtually non expanding. This means long signs can be built without the worry of gapping occurring later

Size - Aluminium signs are ideal for very deep or long signs. Other systems which use plastic panels are prone to "blow outs". Aluminium signs get round this problem by their inherent design benefits. As aluminium sign panels do not contract they can be securely anchored to the supporting frame. For larger signage projects sign, Edmonds would recommend using aluminium sign system because of the additional safety with no compromise in additional cost.

Cost – Aluminium signage solutions are very cost effective.
