Aluminum Signs

At ShieldCo, aluminum is one of our go-to materials for a reason. It provides strength and long-term resilience while being light weight, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor signage.

Why We Love Working with Aluminum

We use marine-grade 5052 aluminum, carefully selected for its superior adaptability, corrosion resistance, and ability to hold finishes flawlessly.

5052 marine-grade aluminum resists warping, withstands extreme weather, and offers better finish adhesion than standard commercial grades. It cuts cleanly, forms seamlessly, and provides a perfect canvas for powder coating, brushing, or anodizing.

From office signage to architectural exteriors, aluminum performs exceptionally well in harsh environments, including coastal regions, due to its built-in corrosion resistance. Combined with crisp fabrication and clean aesthetics, and this is a premium material worthy of top brands.

How We Work with Aluminum

We approach every aluminum sign with an artist’s eye and a fabricator’s precision. Using high-powered CNC equipment and fiber lasers, we produce crisp edges, clean cuts, and detailed logos with razor-sharp accuracy. This precision allows us to expertly produce signage from large exterior panels to intricate interior lettering.

Our 3D layering techniques give aluminum signs standout depth and bold visibility, creating natural shadows and layered contrast that flat signs simply can’t replicate. By combining multiple aluminum layers in contrasting finishes such as brushed silver over matte black, we deliver signs with dimension, readability, and huge visual impact.

Does your design need curves, cutouts, beveling, or sharp geometric forms? We do it all. Our team bends, forms, and mounts aluminum with purpose, bringing structure and sophistication to every design.

Finish Options and Customization

Aluminum is a blank canvas that accepts a wide variety of finishes, and we optimize each piece to suit your brand, environment, and application.

Popular finishes include:

  • Brushed aluminum for sleek, modern appeal
  • Anodized coatings for enhanced corrosion protection
  • Powder coating in any color imaginable, perfect for matching company branding
  • Polished or matte textures for refined detail or bold contrast

Each finish we apply adds durability while creating rich, high-end visual texture for your lobby, storefront, or exterior wall. Our custom aluminum signs are built to shine, literally and figuratively.

Custom Aluminum Sign FAQs

Metal signs come in various types including aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and copper. Styles range from flat panels and dimensional letters to multi-layered 3D designs. They can be used indoors or outdoors, with finishes like brushed, polished, powder-coated, or painted. Customization options include cutouts, backlighting, and engraving.

Aluminum signs are highly durable and corrosion-resistant. On average, they last 7–10 years outdoors, even longer indoors. With proper care and UV-resistant coatings or finishes, their lifespan can extend up to 15 years or more, making them a smart, long-term investment.

Street signs are typically made from 5052-H38 aluminum or Aluminum Grade 6061, known for their strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand outdoor elements. These grades are ideal for road signage due to their durability, weather resistance, and reflective coating compatibility.

I have to say that our sign stands out from our neighbors. It’s sleek, simple, and it has a world-class feel to it. Best of all, Luke and the team at ShieldCo delivers a phenomenal customer service experience. Definitely a value driven company!

Excellent workmanship and customer service! These guys delivered a beautiful custom metal storefront sign for my small business. Durable and eye catching. I’ll definitely use them again for my next custom signage project.

ShieldCo did a wonderful job on our signage for both of our dental offices. We had a very large order with a total of 13 signs ranging from small to very large. They kept us in the loop throughout the fabrication process and did a GREAT job packing everything for shipping. We have gotten multiple compliments about out sign and we will be ordering some signs for interior use in near future. Highly recommend

KH

Kasra Hedayat

Everything worked out great. The customer service was excellent and the shipping process was seamless. They took EXTRA care to make sure my sign was packaged properly and delivered on time. I love the final product. Would definitely recommend!

MS

Michael Simpson

From design and feedback to iterations, production, and delivery—ShieldCo gave me an outstanding experience. Their custom signage was also incredibly easy to install. I highly recommend them for their quality, professionalism, and seamless service!

DY

David Yu

We had a great experience working with Ian during our very specific search for a custom sign. As a remodeling company, our needs were a bit out of the ordinary, and we spent quite a bit of time collaborating with him to get it just right. Ian was patient, responsive, and willing to pivot when we presented an alternative plan for a sample. That flexibility resulted in a win-win for both parties – a deposit on a solid order and a new repeat customer.

If you’re looking for a sign company that takes the time to understand your vision and won’t stop until it’s exactly what you want, we highly recommend ShieldCo. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is exactly how all businesses should operate!

I search everywhere locally in GA and could not find anyone to take my design and turn it into my vision. Then I found ShiedCo online. I asked for it to be cut out of metal. They suggested adding the copper plate behind it. The quality is outstanding. I added my own lights, they would have done a better job I’m sure, but that was my call. Still, it turned out exactly what I wanted.
I gave it to my husband for Christmas for our basement bar. The bar is being built in June but here it is on the wall waiting for the bar to open.

LK

Lori Konen

The City of Las Vegas is proud to add Shield Co to our list of “go to” vendors. From the beginning of the project to delivery the experience was top notch. The staff was very helpful at every step of the process. We were able to achieve what we were looking for and then some. ShieldCo’s signs will hang for years to come. The quality is well above expectations.

MC

Michael Campbell

We are extremely happy with our sign! Right off the bat, Erin was a pleasure to work with. She took our logo and came up with a beautiful design. I appreciated that we were provided with a 3D rending along with the initial quote, which allowed me to easily present to my leadership team for fast approval. The sign is of great quality and looks absolutely beautiful. The owner, Luke, even reached out to me personally to check in on my experience and make sure I was happy with the final product.

CS

Charissa Stober

I ordered a sign for our church and it came out so beautiful! They worked with the design to fit our budget and achieve our goal… and it was worth every penny! 100% would work with them again when we need another sign!

JG

John Gagne

Exceptional experience. These guys are top notch from the communication, to design and to delivery. We love the new sign and would definitely recommend their service’s.
