We couldn’t be happier!

We got both of our restaurant signs from them, and we couldn’t be happier! They were affordable, had incredible customer service, and the quality of their product matches their customer service! They even took care of some of our street light issues at no additional charge since they were already on-site with the lift!

They have a new customer for life!

Subtrates and Materials

Aluminum use in Signs

Aluminum is a go to material for signs. It has the required strength, it does not rust, it is light weight and can be cut, shaped and formed into the types you need. It is both an amazing material and a limited one. Where is the straight skinny on Aluminum?

How Aluminum is refined

Aluminum in an element, and has been around forever, but our use of it is much shorter. The use of Aluminum was late because Aluminum is hard to refine or purify. Alumina occurs naturally. It is a form of ceramic. It can be pulled apart with an electrolytic process. This is like a plating process. It takes a lot of electrical power to refine Aluminum in this way. About 40% on Aluminum is reclaimed and the remaining 60% is produced by this electrolytic process. The cost of Aluminum is closely related to electric costs for this reason.

What types of Aluminum do we use?

Sheet and tube. Sheets come in different thicknesses. The thicker the Aluminum sheet, and more structural value it has. Tubes come in various sizes, and wall thicknesses. Angle is also a possibility. We use these to make boxes and shapes. They are cut to length and welded together. We use a number of welds to make the connections, a mitered 45 degree joint, a but joint, and a lap joint. These joints, welding and tubes are all that is needed to form the skeletal frame.

Alloys

Combinations on metals produce different properties. The common metal additions are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. We use two alloys: 5052 Aluminum Sheet and 6061 Aluminum Sheet. What is the difference/s? 6061 aluminum is the most common grade in the market. It has magnesium (1.0%) and silicon (0.6%). It is stronger than 5052. 5052 is more easily welded and shaped, but weaker. 5052 has Magnesium (2.5%) Chromium –( 0.28%) and a trace of Copper. Generally, 5052 is slightly cheaper.
