What Are Brushed Aluminum Signs?
Brushed aluminum signs, the ultimate in durability and aesthetics, are made by printing any image, graphic, or design directly onto a 3mm brushed aluminum e-panel material. This material has a brushed face and is composed of two sheets of aluminum with a reinforced polyethylene core. This makeup allows for maximum durability while providing the appearance of stainless steel at a fraction of the price.
Designed for both internal and external use, brushed aluminum signs are commonly used to display business names, logos, suite numbers, titles, and general information. They are great for lobby and receptionist areas, stores, waiting rooms, internal offices, hallways, bathrooms, and more. Brushed aluminum signs are also popular as restroom, exit, handicap, and maximum occupancy signs. Templates for these types of signs and more are available in the popular templates section below.

Product Specs
What is e-panel?
How does brushed aluminum differ from standard aluminum?
How will the color white appear if it is part of my design?
How thick are the brushed aluminum signs? Do you offer additional thickness options?
Are the brushed aluminum signs reflective in nature? Do you offer reflective signs?
Although neither our regular aluminum signs nor our brushed signs are reflective in nature, we do offer our Custom Reflective Aluminum Signs; these metal reflective signs are visible both day and night, and are typically used for road, safety, real-estate signage, and more.
Why is shipping so much if you offer free shipping?
We offer free shipping on all orders over $99 with the exception of rigid signs over 36" in either dimension and any order that requires freight shipping. Unfortunately shipping rigid signs larger than 36" as well as some orders with multiple quantities requires us to use freight shipping. This is extremely costly to do, so we simply can't offer this type of shipping for free.
Can I drill my own holes?
I need holes in different or additional locations than the 4 corners. Is this possible?
What sizes do you offer for the brushed aluminum? Any size restrictions?
What is the estimated lifespan of the brushed aluminum?
My design is extremely detailed/complicated. Does this mean it will cost me more?
Regardless of how simple or complicated your design or logo might be it will not cost you more. We offer free design services up to 3 revisions and almost always are able to accommodate design requests at no additional cost. If you’re still unsure please feel free to contact us to discuss your design needs.
Will using more than 2 colors in my design cost me more money?
Should I be concerned about the sharp edges of the signs?
Without a doubt the sharp edges on these signs can be dangerous if rubbed against. If your sign is going to be placed in a location that prevents this then you have nothing to worry about other than handling the sign with care during installation. Alternatively, we offer a "Rounded Corners" option in which we'll cut the corners at either a 1/4" or 1" radius to eliminate the dangerous corners and provide a clean look to your sign. This is an affordable option that can be selected on the design tool.
Can you print my brushed aluminum sign on both sides?
What is the “reinforced core” described above? How does this impact the sign in terms of functionality and aesthetics?
The reinforced core is a polyethylene plastic that in layman’s terms is simply a hard plastic. This hard plastic adds little extra weight to the sign but makes it incredibly durable and less susceptible to damage. Further, because it is in between the aluminum sheets it in no way detracts from the aesthetic appeal of a beautifully printed brushed aluminum sign.
Does this core make the sign extremely heavy?
Do you do engraving for the brushed aluminum?
Can my sign be cut to a specific shape?
Yes! There are several different shape options to choose from for your brushed aluminum sign, including Square/Rectangle, Rounded Corners (¼” or 1” radius), Circle/Oval, Custom or Custom with Border. The Custom shape option (previously known, or sometimes referred to, as Contour Cut) allows you to either upload a custom shape to our design tool or have us create a custom shape for your sign based off of your design. The Custom with Border shape option (previously known, or sometimes referred to, as as Halo Cut) is similar to the Custom shape option but will leave a small border around the edge of your design. In both cases there are exceptions in our ability to cut intricate designs and those that are less than 1” thick in any given location of the sign. Also, be aware that a cut to shape metal sign can be very sharp and should be handled with care at all times.
Do you use a vinyl overlay or print directly onto the aluminum?
Can I elect to add a laminate in order to protect the printed portion?
What does the default material look like?
Are aluminum signs the same as metal signs?
Can the brushed aluminum be individual letters like I see in many offices?

Installation & Care
How do I install my brushed sign? / Where can I post it?
Your sign can be hung or posted in several ways. First, it can be hung using a rope, chain, or otherwise in a number of settings. It can also be posted using bolts and screws to existing wooden poles. As noted above, if you will be posting a large sign we highly recommend a middle support post and anchoring to prevent wind and other damage to the sign.
The most common installation method is to use standoffs and mount the sign to a rigid surface. This method is what is most often seen in professional business settings due to its superior look. In order to mount your sign this way you will need to select the options of “Drilled Holes” as well as “Standoffs.” if you want to drill your own holes then you will only need the standoffs. This will ensure you have everything you need to mount your sign.
The first step will be to measure and mark the locations of where you will drill and hang your sign. Once you’ve done so and ensured it will be properly spaced and even, you then need to use the standoffs package to install your sign.
Your standoffs package will consist of four standoff tubes, four anchors, four screws and four standoff caps. Put an anchor into a standoff tube and insert it through the drilled hole of the sign. While having someone help you hold the sign up to your pre-determined location, use a drill to install the screw through the anchor and tube and into the wall. Repeat this for all four corners. Once the sign has been affixed to the rigid surface, screw on the standoff caps by hand and you’re done! You now have a gorgeous brushed aluminum sign with standoffs hanging on your wall! Please note that some rigid surfaces will require that you drill a pilot hole before screwing the screw into your surface.
