What Materials Do You Offer?

We offer the ½” PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for Matte Black finish and ¼” Alupanel (Aluminum Composite Panel) for Glossy Black, Matte White, and Silver-Brushed finishes!

 ½” PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

 

The PVC is a commercial-grade material that is used for buildings and constructions. With its weather and water-resistant qualities, it is created for a wide-range of outdoor uses.

*The matte black is not a jet-black and has a sheen to it which absorbs light and may cause it to look slightly grey. It always may depend on the time, day, and the angle of the sun's reflection.

¼” Alupanel (Aluminum Composite Panel)

The Alupanel is a commercial-grade material which consists two sheets of pre-finished aluminum bonded to a polyethylene core. This material is a popular material in the signage industry, known for its light-weightiness and durability.
*Please note that the Glossy Black finish that we offer will not be as reflective as the Acrylic material, which gives a mirrored finish. We have substituted the Acrylic with an Aluminum Composite, which has a glossy finish yet very legible.

PVC vs. Alupanel - Is One Better Than The Other?

Both materials are light, durable and will not fade nor rust over time. These materials are commercial grade, have a strong resistance to weathering, and are commonly used for signs, building and construction.
