Aluminum Signs

Yes, metal signs can definitely be used to hang above the entry to a store. They are a popular choice for this purpose due to their durability and professional appearance. Here’s how you can effectively use metal signs for this application:

1. Choosing the Right Metal Sign:

• Materials:

  • Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-resistant, and suitable for various weather conditions.
  • Reflective Aluminum: Useful for visibility in low light but typically used for specific applications like safety signs.
  • Brushed Aluminum: Offers a sleek, modern look and is durable for both indoor and outdoor use.

• Design:

  • Ensure the design is clear, readable, and reflects your store’s branding. Include important details such as your store’s name or logo.

2. Size and Visibility:

• Determine Size:

  • Choose a size that is proportionate to the space above your entry and visible from a distance. Consider both the width and height of the sign.

• Visibility:

  • Ensure the sign’s text and graphics are large enough to be easily readable from the street or sidewalk.

3. Mounting Options:

• Hanging:

  • Hardware: Use sturdy hardware like brackets, chains, or rods to hang the sign securely. Make sure the hardware is appropriate for the weight and material of the sign.
  • Height: Hang the sign at a height where it’s easily visible but not obstructive to the entryway.

• Wall-Mounted:

  • Direct Mounting: If you prefer, you can mount the sign directly onto the wall above the entry using screws or adhesive mounts designed for heavy-duty use.

4. Installation:

• Preparation:

  • Ensure the surface where the sign will be mounted is clean and dry.
  • If using brackets or chains, install them securely to support the sign’s weight.

• Alignment:

  • Make sure the sign is level and centered above the entry to ensure it looks professional and is properly aligned.

• Weatherproofing:

  • If the sign is exposed to outdoor elements, ensure it is coated or treated for weather resistance to prevent damage over time.

5. Maintenance:

• Cleaning:

  • Regularly clean the sign to keep it looking new and to ensure readability. Use appropriate cleaners based on the metal type.

• Inspection:

  • Periodically check the sign and mounting hardware for any signs of wear or damage, and make repairs as needed.

Using metal signs above a store entry is an effective way to enhance visibility and add a professional touch to your store’s exterior.
