Metal signs have durability

Metal signs are a good alternative to other materials as they can be very durable ,and with metal being malleable, the signs can be produced in many shapes and sizes, and above all, designs.

Home signs

As well as providing the name plate for your home, which you can attach to the front gate, affix to the wall or suspend from a pole in the front garden, they can be used to prevent hawkers from coming onto your premises. A simple sign at the bottom of the driveway saying “No Hawkers” can be produced in the metal of your choice and painted as you wish. It may be that you have dogs and would wish to warn visitors of their presence and you can put a metal sign on the gates to that effect. Maybe the mother-in-law is staying and you wish to advise people of the terrors that await! A sign can be used to provide that warning.

Engineering works

Metal signs are frequently used to attach to the machines in use giving the specifications and other such details.

Advertising

The use of metal signs in advertising has long been a practice. Estate Agents have used them as ‘for sale’ signs which are placed in the garden of the property for sale, or on a sidewall. The estate agents will also use them as a sandwich board that they will place outside their premises, so that passing customers are alerted to their presence.

The signs can be magnetized and then placed on the sides of vehicles so that the company the vehicle belongs to can use that as an advertising and promotional tool.

With the advance in die cutting, metal signs can now be cut in 3D style, and this can be applied to say pub signs so that they will stand out over others.

Safety signs

Metal safety signs are used in factories, hospitals and many other places where under Health and Safety regulations there is the need for constant warning of danger, or where avoidance action is needed by people. They can also be used in such places as fire hydrants so that emergency services are immediately aware of resources they need.
