Aluminum Signs: Premium Durability for Lasting Performance
When you need signage built to last decades, not years, aluminum delivers unmatched durability and professional appearance. Aluminum signs withstand extreme weather, resist corrosion, and maintain their appearance longer than any other flat sign material—making them the premium choice for permanent installations.
At Mustang Signs, we fabricate custom aluminum signs for businesses throughout the Inland Northwest. From property signs to safety notices, we create metal signage that endures while looking sharp.
What Are Aluminum Signs?
Aluminum signs are made from lightweight metal sheets—typically .040, .063, or .080 gauge thickness—that won't rust or corrode. These signs accept direct printing or vinyl graphics and can be mounted to posts, walls, or fences for permanent exterior installations.
The material's strength allows larger sign sizes without bending or warping, while the corrosion resistance ensures decades of performance in harsh weather conditions.
Why Choose Aluminum Signs?
Exceptional Longevity – Aluminum signs last 10-20+ years outdoors, providing excellent long-term value despite higher initial investment.
Rust-Proof Performance – Unlike steel, aluminum won't rust or corrode, maintaining appearance and structural integrity in rain, snow, and humidity.
Professional Appearance – Metal construction signals permanence and quality, elevating your property's professional image.
Wind Resistant – Rigid aluminum withstands high winds better than plastic alternatives, reducing damage risk in exposed locations.
Vandal Resistant – Metal construction deters tampering and damage compared to plastic signs that tear or break easily.
Common Aluminum Sign Applications
Aluminum signs excel for property identification and entrance signs, parking regulations and traffic control, security and safety notices requiring permanence, real estate development signs withstanding years of exposure, municipal and government regulatory signage, and industrial facility identification and warnings.

Thickness Selection Guide
.040 Gauge – Standard weight for most applications including parking signs and property notices. Balances durability with affordability.
.063 Gauge – Heavier gauge for larger signs or high-traffic areas requiring extra rigidity and damage resistance.
.080 Gauge – Premium thickness for maximum durability, large format signs, or locations prone to vandalism or impact.
Our sign design team recommends appropriate thickness based on your sign size, mounting method, and environmental conditions.
Finishing Options
We offer direct printing with UV-cured inks for permanent graphics, vinyl graphics for cost-effective customization, reflective sheeting for nighttime visibility and traffic applications, and powder-coated backgrounds providing additional weather protection and custom colors.
Edges can be hemmed for safety or left standard depending on mounting location and application.
Mounting Methods
Aluminum signs mount using pre-drilled holes for wall or post mounting, U-channel posts for ground installation, and flat mounting directly to fences or buildings. We provide appropriate hardware recommendations for secure, long-lasting installation.
Aluminum Signs FAQ
How long do aluminum signs last?
Quality aluminum signs last 10-20+ years outdoors with proper finishing and installation, often outlasting the properties they're mounted on.
Will aluminum signs fade?
UV-resistant inks and high-quality vinyl prevent significant fading for years. Aluminum itself never fades or deteriorates.
Can aluminum signs be customized?
Yes. We create completely custom aluminum signs in any size, shape, and design matching your specifications.
