Top 3 Products for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Cast Metal

If you’re going for a traditional look that represents permanence and distinction, Cast Metal is the right choice for you. Cast Metal is available in greater depths than flat cut metal and more cost-effective in 3/4 inch and 1-inch depths. Customize your look with aluminum or bronze options, the ability to add lighting, and multiple finishes. This material is commonly used for exterior applications at schools, government buildings, and also interior applications.

Pricing example: $59.40 (standard), or $78 (custom) for 3/4 inch thickness, 12 inch height

Fabricated Metal

This material has the largest height and depth maximums and is the most cost-effective when it comes to large sizes. Choose from sizes as small as 2 inch to as large as 100 inches plus in height, strokes as narrow as 3/8 inch, and return depths from 1/2 inch – 6 inch. This material is also made-to-order and comes with multiple finishes and lighting options. We commonly see this material used in stadiums or large structures where visibility is needed from a great distance.

Pricing example: $69.60 for 3/4 inch thickness, 12 inch height, standard finish

Formed Plastic

This option will bring down cost when dimension is required. Formed Plastic is lightweight and easy to install with various mounting options. It's extremely durable, UV stable, and, like all of our products, has a lifetime guarantee for if things go awry. With this material, you're able to completely customize fonts, logos, and choose from endless color options.
