Aluminium extrusions for the signage industry
Signage does a lot of heavy lifting. It needs to be eye-catching, weatherproof, structurally sound and easy to install. Sometimes all at once! That’s a big ask, however aluminium rises to the challenge. In fact, it’s one of the most trusted materials in the signage industry and for good reason.
Why aluminium works so well for signage
Aluminium is lightweight, strong and easy to work with, making it ideal for everything from modular shopfront systems and freestanding totems to LED lightbox displays and interior wayfinding.
Aluminium extrusions for signage and display provide sleek, minimal frames which don’t detract from the message. The frames can be cut, drilled and assembled quickly on site or in the workshop. Fabricators and installers alike appreciate the ease of handling, especially for larger formats or elevated installations where weight matters.
Clean and professional finishes
Anodised or powder-coated aluminium profiles provide durable, attractive finishes which hold up in all environments. Whether it’s a high-gloss black for a luxury retail display or a matte silver for corporate signage, the finish stays sharp over time. Unlike materials that fade or corrode, aluminium resists rust and can maintain its aesthetic in even the harshest conditions.
Always adaptable
Aluminium extrusions can be customised with incredible precision. Snap-fit frames, concealed fixings, hinge systems and cable management channels can all be built into a single profile.
Need a channel for LED strips? Easy. Want it to integrate with glazing or cladding systems? No problem. Whether you’re retrofitting into existing signage infrastructure or starting from scratch, aluminium offers design flexibility without compromise.
