Copper Signs
Copper signage offers unique aesthetic evolution through natural patina development, creating distinctive appearances that improve with age.
Custom Copper Signs with Timeless Appeal
We work with various copper alloys and patination techniques to achieve desired aesthetic effects from bright metallic to rich verdigris finishes. Pure copper and copper alloys each offer distinct characteristics for signage applications.
Distinctive Copper Sign Character
Pure copper provides the most dramatic patina development, transitioning from bright metallic orange through deep browns to eventual green verdigris over years of exposure. Bronze alloys offer different patination rates and color variations, while maintaining superior structural properties for large installations.
Copper’s natural antimicrobial properties make it particularly suitable for healthcare facilities, food service establishments, and high-touch applications where hygiene considerations complement aesthetic requirements. The material’s malleability enables intricate forming and detailing impossible with harder metals, allowing artistic expression that elevates signage from functional necessity to architectural art.

Custom Copper Sign FAQs
Copper comes in several grades, with C110 (electrolytic tough pitch copper) being the most common for signage due to its high purity and excellent conductivity. There are also C122 (phosphorized copper), used for better weldability, and copper alloys like bronze or brass that offer different colors and properties. Each type varies slightly in color, patina potential, and strength.
Yes, copper signs are highly durable for outdoor use. Over time, they naturally develop a protective patina, which shields the surface from corrosion and gives them a unique, weathered appearance. With or without this finish, copper signage can withstand harsh weather while maintaining structural integrity, making it ideal for exterior environments.
Absolutely! Copper signage can be customized with different finishes—polished, brushed, or aged patina—to complement your brand’s color palette or your building’s architectural features. Copper blends beautifully with stone, wood, and modern materials, making it a versatile and timeless choice for both classic and contemporary design aesthetics.
