Design Customized Metal Signs in Orlando

For centuries, metal has been the quintessential sign material. Durable and customizable, they’re a natural choice for Orlando, Winter Park or Florida businesses.

In the earliest iterations, brass, bronze, aluminum, and steel were the materials of choice. Today, plate steel, stainless steel, dibond, alumalite and aluminum are the most popular. Weather-resistant and affordable, they’re a great exterior option to stand up to Florida’s heat and rain.

Metal can be used in all manner of signage, from plaques and parking signs to wall signs, wayfinding or directory lists. For custom metal signs, work with an experienced metal sign manufacturer in Orlando like Envision Orlando.

Benefits of custom metal signs for businesses

One of the primary benefits of metal is its durability.

When your sign is made from the same materials that are used for medieval armor, you can have confidence that it’ll stand up to the wear-and-tear that comes with Florida weather. This makes them ideal for unsheltered locations like parking lots.

Metal signs can also be 100 percent customized. Modern metal sign makers have the skills and technology to create any shape, size, style, texture, copy, and design — you’ll never have to compromise form for function.

Uses for Metal & Aluminum Signs

Metal signs may look stiff and rigid. However, you might be surprised by the versatility of these signs. Here are different ways you can use them for your business in Orlando.

  1. Metal Storefront Signs: These signs are perfect for outdoor use. Aluminum metal signs, for instance, are very durable and can withstand outdoor elements.
  2. Lobby Signs: When you want a modern, sophisticated lobby sign, personalized metal signs are a great choice. Engraved metal sheets with your business name and logo add a nice touch to your lobby area.
  3. Door Signs: Stainless steel signs make for a chic, long-lasting door sign. These make your business look professional while directing customers to the right rooms.
  4. Hanging Signs: These signs can also be used as hanging or ceiling signs. Custom aluminum signs are great for projecting signs both indoors and outdoors.
  5. Dimensional Letters: Custom-cut metal signs can be transformed into dimensional letters. These signs are perfect to use for lobby signs, building signs, and even an accompaniment to monument signs.
  6. Traffic Signs: Traffic and road signs are always outdoors, exposed to outdoor elements. These need durable, long-lasting signs. For this reason, aluminum signs are often used for the signs we see on the road.

FAQs

Do metal signs rust?
If you buy them from us, it’s very unlikely! We build our metal signs from aluminum, which is extremely corrosion-resistant, even if it gets wet. Metal signs made of other materials, such as iron and steel, can rust, which is why regular paint touch-ups are important. We recommend routine check-ups of your sign to catch any signs of rust before they impact the lifespan of your sign.
Are metal signs weatherproof?
Yes, metal signs are weatherproof. Signs made of aluminum are naturally water and corrosion-resistant, ensuring hassle-free performance year after year. We use industrial-grade sealants and modern construction methods to protect signs against weather damage. To maximize the lifespan of your sign, it’s highly recommended that you inspect it regularly to identify potential weak spots.
Are street signs steel or aluminum?
Most street signs — such as stop signs, one-way signs, and street name signs — are made of aluminum alloys. These hit the sweet spot between maintenance-free performance, longevity, and cost. If you are looking to get outdoor signs for your premises, aluminum is the material to choose. It does not rust and resists fading, even after years of service.
What gauge metal is used for signs?
We use anywhere from 11-gauge to 16-gauge metal, depending on where it will be installed, how long you expect it to last, and what the intended use is. Thicker metals offer greater durability, though they cost more to install. Our team selects the most appropriate gauge for your needs, ensuring you aren’t paying for an over-engineered sign.
What material are metal signs made of?
The two most common metals used are aluminum and steel alloys. These offer a great balance between cost, durability, and ease of customization. For most applications, aluminum is the material of choice as it is lighter weight and adequately strong. However, steel may be used if you expect your sign to experience extreme weather or wear and tear.
What metal is best for outdoor signs?
Aluminum is the preferred material for outdoor signs, as it offers an ideal balance between cost, durability, and customizability. Our team chooses aluminum alloys that best fit your needs, ensuring you get the most value from your sign.

Aluminum does not rust, resists fading, and is strong enough to take a knock, ensuring you enjoy exceptional performance for years.
How can you tell if something is stainless steel or aluminum?
The easiest way to check if a metal is stainless steel or aluminum is by using a magnet. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal, meaning a magnet should not stick to it, whereas a magnet should be attracted to stainless steel. Note that metal signs may use aluminum alloys, which are attracted to magnets, so this test isn’t fool proof.
Where do I get metal signs in Orlando?
If you are looking for high-quality, durable, and competitively priced metal signs in Orlando, there’s only one place to go to: Envision Orlando. We are trusted by developers, condominiums, hospitals, retailers, and many other establishments for captivating, impactful signs. Our team provides end-to-end experience, taking care of design, production, and installation.
How long do metal signs last?
Expect metal signs to last anywhere from 6 to 10+ years. Metal signs are some of the longest-lasting signs you can get for your business. However, where you install the sign, the wear and tear it undergoes, and the frequency of routine maintenance are factors that will affect the lifespan of your sign.
What type of aluminum is used for signs?
Aluminum 3003 is an aluminum alloy used most popularly in signs. It offers greater strength than ordinary aluminum, enhancing durability, while retaining aluminum’s resistance to corrosion. For heavy-duty applications, 5052 aluminum alloy may be used. It offers even greater strength, which is why it’s ideal for signs that you expect will undergo heavy weathering.

    Loved working with envision Orlando! If you want it done right the first time I highly recommend them. They were nothing but outstanding the entire process. They took my vision and brought it to life. And they gave me input and ideas that I would have never thought of!

    Stephen and Todd at Envision are the definition of professional! Envision handled all of our small business needs from signage to custom vinyl lettering for our product and more. They also helped with logo adjustments which helped our overall image that we were looking for. Every question or request was answered with a "yes, no problem!" and they were extremely flexible and helpful with scheduling while still getting the job done quickly and efficiently. We had spoken to several shops prior to choosing envision and found them to be extremely competitive and affordable. We are very pleased with our choice and would absolutely recommend them!

    Worked with them before so not quite sure what changed in their customer service but I contacted them for a sign and have been out on the back burner for months.Today I asked again and they said they couldn’t do the sign after waiting for so long and them never returning calls. I’m super disappointed in my experience.
