How durable are metal signs? Do they rust?

Frequently constructed of rust-proof aluminum or stainless steel, metal signs are designed to perform for the long-term. Elmark offers an industry-leading five-year warranty on all its products to guard against rust or other decay and protect the owner’s investment.

Can Elmark match custom colors and/or other branding requirements?

Yes, Elmark can match specific Pantone colors, logo specifics, and finish requirements to adhere to exacting brand requirements or personal tastes. Our design team will produce a rendering of the project to ensure the full vision comes to life just as planned.

Can metal signs be illuminated?

Yes, metal signs can be illuminated in a number of different ways. Completely metal signs are opaque and can be either halo-lit or highlighted with a spotlight. Using a hybrid construction (e.g., aluminum and translucent acrylic), internal LED lighting can brighten the face or other aspects of the sign. Elmark’s design team helps clients evaluate the different options to achieve their goals.
