3 Reasons To Order Custom Laser-Cut Metal Signs

When looking for signage for your business, all of the choices on the market can be overwhelming. You have to choose the design, size, and color of your signs. You must also select the materials they are constructed from. Consider ordering custom laser-cut metal signs. These signs come with numerous advantages over their counterparts. Here are a few reasons to consider them. 

1. Fully Customizable

Do you have an intricate logo or design you want on your sign? Is it something that might be difficult to duplicate? Laser cutting is the perfect choice to replicate any design or logo you have. 

Laser cutting machines use small, powerful lasers that cut the metal at a high precision rate. Lasers can quickly cut out even highly complex logos or designs. You can also have your designs cut in various sizes. Your design can be sized up or down without compromising the intricacies of the design within.

Do you want your signs in different types of materials? Using different materials is not a problem when laser cutting because the laser cuts most materials easily. Some common materials include:

• Aluminum
• Brass
• Stainless Steel
• Wood
• Plastic

Lasers can also cut materials of varying thicknesses depending on the size and wattage of the laser and the density of the material to be cut. The wattage required to cut through carbon steel would be able to cut through stainless steel that is twice as thick. This is due to carbon steel being much denser than stainless steel. 

Although the sheen of many metals is beautiful, your metal signs do not have to look like metal. Metal signs can have numerous finishes applied. One of the more popular finishes is powder coating, which can be applied using epoxies, polyesters, fluoropolymers, and urethanes. Powder coating and other finishes also contribute to the look of the sign by allowing you to add colors and designs.

2. Lightweight

Custom laser-cut metal signs are lightweight, especially when compared to signs made of brick, stone, or other dense materials. The actual weight of your sign will depend on the type of metal, the size of the sign, and the intricacy of the design.

The more intricate your design is, the less your sign will weigh. The lighter weight is because the laser will remove more of the metal during the production of your design.

Lightweight signs are also easier to hang in various locations in and around your business. Because they are lightweight and cut out, weather elements such as wind and rain will go through them. 

3. Durable

Durability is essential when choosing your business signs. You do not want to have to replace your signs every couple of years. Custom laser-cut signs are durable. When cut from aluminum, they are resistant to environmental factors and corrosion. The resistance comes from the formation of aluminum oxide when the metal is exposed to water. 

Custom laser-cut signs are also low maintenance. You will not have to worry about this type of signage chipping, rusting, or fading. When correctly finished, metal signs will not need painting or touching up every couple of years. This lack of maintenance makes them perfect for hanging in hard-to-access areas.
